Here is something to consider. The military trailer smaller than the M101 is the M416. They make 101's look cheap. However, they can be pulled by Jeeps and such. That means more demand than the 101 series even. People got around it by buying the Canadian version of the 416 which is a...

What voltage are you getting on each battery with the engine running? If it isn't being charged, it will die first.

The truck is owned by somebody in the Houston area. He posted about running the truck at the race last fall. I just searched and couldn't find it though. My boss drove one of the cars in that race. The linked to track in Angleton is where the race was held.

See if you can actually climb in, sit behind the wheel and get your feet on the proper pedals. I almost can't. Then see if it is for sale.

Heat index isn't even over 100° today. Going to be downright chilly tonight at 75°. Of course, I am inland 100 mile from you two. Glad you got the plug figured out.

It is a neat feeling just pouring stuff in the tank that normally doesn't go there. To really get the exact types of fuels you can run, the manual is a great resource. The -10 list them out for you. Should be a data plate on the dash that says what you can and can't run.

Yes, the lines on the pump sure can be installed with just an open end wrench or flare nut wrench. However, 1/8th turn, flip the wrench, 1/8th turn, flip the wrench, 1/8th turn, etc... Sure does get old when a crow foot will let you go 3/4 turn at a time. Do it however you are most comfortable.

Check your dog bones on the rear. My Gasser started jumping one day and that is how I knew to start looking for something wrong. Found a broken dog bone. Been almost 2 years now, but I remember thinking "why is the rear of the truck trying to fly?"

There is a very faint scribe mark on the block above the IP mount. There is an identical line on the pump mount flange. Line them up or maybe go 1/16" to the drivers side with the pump line. The pump shaft itself can only be installed one way. The pulley in the timing cover has a pin hole...

It will even out. I found the first cup of 24052 I shot from each gallon jug no matter how much I shook and mixed it was more shiny than the rest of the gallon. You can't tell which of my parts were painted when or with what now. I spent just about 4 years straight shooting something for the...

I second the brake caliper/hose problem if your pull was to the same side as the hot parts. I had this happen just a week or so ago on a USAF Suburban with the exact same parts and the exact same age as your 1009. Around $80 total for both front calipers and both front hoses fixed the problem...

Why is rebuilding not an option? If you have the Delco unit now, taking it to a rebuilding in your area will probably give you a starter as good or better than one you can buy new. Total price will probably be about the same. I spent $145 to have mine redone last fall. Which is pretty close...

Warthog has a USAF Suburban that my class has been messing with for a while to bring up to running condition. Besides all the normal mechanical stuff. There has always been a problem with the front running lights. They didn't work, ever. The side blinkers would work, which is the same bulb...

Old Ag and I wheeled our 33" tired M1009's a good bit at the March Rally in College Station. Low range on the tcase made hills that looked impossible just a matter of point and push. I was very impressed with it off road. We had a pair of M715's with us and they had more trouble on the hills...

The side of the plug that is not getting voltage is the exciter wire. Trace that wire back all the way to the key. I would offer more help, but since you have a non stock wiring system. You will have to figure out what wire does what yourself.

I would suggest you check the ground wires at the top of the parking brake pedal. Revolving electrical issues normally come back to a bad connection or bad ground. Then, make sure you have the big plug on the back of the gauge panel all the way on. You very well could have bent one of the...

I have a set in my M715. Great improvement over stock M715. Rotten compared to stock M1009. M1009 and S10 trucks from that time period were the same. So were the fancy Suburban seats with recline and inside arm rest. Bolt right in.

I got distracted from the time I started writting above until I posted. Didn't see your post until later. Sorry. The 60 plugs have a different size spade on them. You can cut the corners off and keep the wiring stock or cut the plugs off the wires and put bigger plugs on. One of those...

The glow plugs in a 6.2 should come on anytime the engine is below 125°. It is an in direct injection engine and needs the help to get started. We are around 99° today and I have started 3 different 6.2 trucks in the last little bit. Civilian 6.2 in an Air Force Suburban took about 15...

Read Devilman's huge epic thread about building his M35. He struggled with an A/C install. It worked, I saw it at the 2007 GA Rally even. However, it comes down to how much are you going to drive the truck and need a/c. Compared to spending the same money on a factory a/c equiped vehicle...
