I'm not new to the CUCV have M1009 and M1008 + M35a3. The 1008 was sitting several years inside, very nice truck no rust Purchased this fall and runs and drives great.
Now that the weather has gotten colder if you leave it outside very long you will have a hard time getting it started. I just replaced batterys with 775 CCA AGM's $375 ouch. It does not start any better on these than the old ones, starter does only clicks and does not always engage cold or hot. Once warmed up starts fine, most of the time.
It acts like the starter is taking so much juice and after several cranking cycles your done and have to but the charger back on it. It only likes the be in the Garage it seams. 45-50 degrees.
Any thing I can check? Have serviced it from top to bottom this fall all fluids filters, new lift pump. I want to blame the starter itself and upgrade to a gear reduction style. It still have the old 27MT on it.
Thank you all
