I would like to do a spray in liner in my m1009. Has anyone who has done this had any issues with odours after the product has cured??

Dent removal??? I keep doing dent installations.

Check your flexplate. Make sure its not cracked or has a loose bolt. If you can hear a loud disconcerting noise at idle and highway speed that disappears under acceleration/load than be sure to check your flexplate. It will almost sound like a chani dragging under the truck.

Have you solved the problem with the diesel sloshing up the vent? Some guys have added expandable diaphrams instead of vents. Sort of like a reverse air tanks in your home plumbing system. I'm assuming you too are on a well and this makes sense?? Love all the pictures. Your making me want a...

Is it going to fit?? I imagine you will have to upgrade the cooling capacity.

Had this happen in a ford once. As previously stated I had to jiggle the wheel left and right to un-stick it. Jiggle isn't really the right word though as I had to do it pretty hard. Jerk it left and right a few times. But not off..........Sorry couldn't resist. Rest of the post was serious.

Wow what a story. From the look on your sons face, I'll say you'll be going after another CUCV.......When your ready. Good luck going forward.

Don't forget to check with the wife and the wallet.:razz:

Love the soft top. Which one is that? How do you find it works, as in how well does it come on and off, and what about noise?

I also run 33x10.5-15's Mud T/A's with no issues. Everything stock, no rubbing, even when offroading. Plus I like the tall skinny looking mud tire. Reminds me of the old ww2 willys.

The flexplate does appear to be a weak link in the drive train.

This is probably a question that only a government official could answer, but why didn't you need to have a lower front bumper? Go green.

There isn't really a trans cooler on a cucv. They just run a couple of lines past the rad. I assume you've got lots of trans fluid? Drop the pan and make sure its clean and not full of crap. THis will also allow you to confirm that you have the proper trans fluid and amount when you refill it.

Centrifugal force. As the rpms increase everything tightens up, until it finds the next gear and get really loud again. Am I right? If so I'll bet a donut hole its a broken flexplate. You probably hear it as soon as the starter engages. If I'm right don't drive it till you get this fixed. I...

Check your flexplate. Its either cracked or you have a loose bolt to the torque converter.
