Hi!
Sounds like a fuel problem. Do you get fuel out the bleed valve of the fuel
filter? I would change that filter first anyway. See if you get fuel out
the valve. Take pink wire off injection pump, open bleed valve with hose
attached and crank engine. After new filter fills and air is bled out you
should get fuel out hose with no air bubbles in it. Then reattach pink
wire. If air bubbles don't go away, then you have air leak. Replace all
rubber fuel hoses.
The fuel goes from tank to fuel pump, to filter, to injection pump, and then
the injectors.
Everything on the Blazer is 12v except for the starter and radio feeds for
military 24v radios. Everything else(head lights, tail lights, etc.) is 12v
including trailer hook-up. In fuse box only 1 24v fuse for starter. 24v
bulbs in military trailers won't work right. You must change bulbs to 12v.
Truck uses 2 generators- front battery is charged by gen#1, rear battery is
charged by gen#2(which also charges front battery too). Military did it
this way so radios won't drain batteries.

Subject: [MV] Just purchased M1009
Hello I am new to the list and new to military vehicle. I currently own a
1984 6.2 civilian blazer and I just been awarded the high bid of a M1009
with 44,000 no rust and it came from the Little Rock, AK base 4 years ago to
a wildlife refuge
In TN. I with to look at the M1009 last week at the refuge. When I got there
the refuge manager started the unit and asked if I would like to take a
drive. Away we went into the refuge, all was well for around a mile or so
and then the unit started slowing down and eventually stopped and died. I
let the unit sit for a few minutes and then it restarted but would only run
around 1 or 2 minutes. The refuge manager said that they had not drove the
unit but very little in the past 3 years and no telling how old the fuel was
in the tank. What does everyone think the problem is or could be? Also are
there any changes that I will need to make to put the unit on the streets?
Does the M1009 have 24-volt headlights and tail lights. I have a lot of
questions and hope that everyone can help. I hope that I did not pay to
much.
All help and information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks John Fuller
