I've exhausted my search efforts and not coming up with anything. It's painted in stencil right above the drivers door vehicle tag. Excuse me if I'm totally ignorant to it's meaning, just cuious. Thanks.
I installed a two camera backup system in my 1031 today. I can't see much behind it and angle parking seems to be just about imposible to back up from. Has an extra port for a dvd player and camera's come with built in microphones. They have infared lights that shine 50 feet. Love it. Pointed...
Just put a hitch on today. I did a lot of measuring to find a hitch that would fit inside the factory brackets. I ordered this hitch from my local hitch shop and it's made in Michigan no shipping fee for around $170. I dedided to cut the bottom lip off the factory support brackets and after...
Tried finding the correct stock size u bolt for the rear 14 bolt axle with the square u bolts. No luck finding the numbers. Anyone know what size these are? They are measured by total length, bolt size and inner measurement that fits around the springs between bolts.
I had been considering building a truck out of all my spare parts laying around. I found a 1031 utility bed that I ended up buying. I was going to use a 3/4 ton setup I had for the frame. Recently I ended up winning a M1008 that was in terrible shape so that ended up being the drivetrain I am...
So I won a M1009 I'm still not sure what I'm doing with it. Just wanted to mention one of the issues of trying to start it. I had to install a radiator, fuses, glow plug card, air filter, starter relay, temp sensor, and fuel filter all missing from the truck when I got it but had all of that...
I bought this truck for the frame and axles. When it finally showed up I considered putting it back together. They took a lot of good parts off it and threw the junk in the back. Front fender, inner fender, battey trays and batts, injector, two fuel lines were robbed. They cut the hoses out...
I have a trailer I built out of a 86 2wd 1/2 ton. Pulled the bed last weekend and used the extra box and bumper from my 1028 in a lot better shape. I'm sure someone on the road will think I killed a military truck to do this. Oh well. I use the heck out of this trailer, now it will have some...
Towed up my little camper about 170 mi to Silver Lake Sand dunes for opening weekend. Just before I got there I overheated the tranny on the bigger hills on the west side of the state. I really didn't think it was enough weight to do that in these temps but I was way wrong. I put in a tranny...
I noticed when I picked up my M1009 the drivers seatbelt had a snag in it about 5 inches long. Today when I flipped the seat forward I noticed it's split in two now. Anyone have a seatbelt I can buy? Thanks
I just ordered a M1009 surplus nos rear end and it's on the way. It's said to be complete drum to drum with e brake cables and all. I'm concerned about the seals and brake parts from sitting. Anyone install one of these or know if it's ok to just throw them in and go?
I need a trailer plug male cord end that will fit into the stock military trailer receptacle on my M1009. I want to make an adapter to a 7 pin so I need enough wire on the cord to solder to. Any help getting ahold of one would be great, thanks.
Just wanted to sum up the problems I have been going through for the last 4 or 5 months. I finally have a working alternator system.
When I first drove my M1009 home the front battery died and I decided to buy alts from Napa and replace both with lifetime parts. I caught the truck on fire at...
Just replaced both alts and now my gen 2 light is on all the time. I took it back off and had it bench tested and they say it's ok. Fusable links are ok. The battery seems to be staying charged and my volt gauge is proper. Does anyone know if the diode in the wire diagram in the tm for alt 2...
I opened up the driving blackout light on my M1009 and thought I was going to replace the bulb. The inside is rotted out and I can't tell what it's suposed to even look like. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement wheter it be a socket or the whole light? Thanks
