I'm in the market for an impact wrench and having a hard time deciding on which one to buy. Wondering if anyone here has one they use and would recommend.
I realize there's a full range of products out there ranging from cheap Chinese crap to Ingersoll Rand. So, to frame it up a bit, here's...
After much thread searching, I think I've devised a sequence to troubleshoot my issue but I'd love a second opinion on my methods. I'd like to make sure I'm not doing extra stuff that doesn't matter or doesn't make sense.
So a while back I had an abnormally large puddle under my M1009. I saw...
So I've got a buddy over helping me replace a rear main seal. We noticed this bearing has a bit of a discoloration on it - what do you think? OK to use?
Well, I've been avoiding this for some time now but I'm finally fed up with driving around without tunes. I picked up a standard sized Clarion AM/FM/CD/MP3/USB head unit on amazon for about $50. I hate to hack up my truck to install this thing in the conventional location, but that's about the...
Does anyone have advice on where to get the tools required to tear down the front hubs on my M1009? I've seen several threads of guys getting their M1009s with bearings in need of attention so I really want to take mine out, inspect them, and repack them.
Per the manual, I need Nut wrench...
So I'm doing some maintenance on my M1009 rear window stuff. Maintenance includes a new regulator clutch, replacement lock cylinder, and rigging up some sort of felt lining for the glass channels.
After about an hour I finally figured out how to get the lock cylinder out. I swore enough...
Well, I just picked up my first M1009 purchased through GL. The process was fairly painless and my franken-tow-bar (thanks to this forum for the idea) got me home in one piece.
The only real surprise was that the starter was taken off and was sitting in the cab. I haven't been able to make...
I've got a leak from the rear differential on my M1009. Since I've got to repair the leak, i thought would probably make sense to change out the gear oil in both front and rear differentials.
I checked TM 9-2320-289-20 and saw that the M1009 takes 4.5 pints for the front differential and 5.4...
I've got the fever. I just "won" a GL auction for my second M1009. I'm rapidly running out of garage space but I've got my eyes on a M109A3. It's looking like that purchase will have to wait a while until I figure out where to keep it.
So -- does anybody else live in a suburban area and have...
Hi. I'm the proud owner of a new [to me] M1009. I picked it up for a good price from a private party because he was pulling his hair out trying to troubleshoot an electrical issue. Well, when I went to check it out the GEN2 light didn't illuminate when first turning the key on. I thought the...
