I looked at the site, does it come with the windows and wiper assemblies?

I saw this truck on FB today and it has what I have been looking for: non-opening windshields. What are these? "Stock" or fab'd? I've got a glass guy if anyone knows if it's just a seal or if it's a completely different frame. Thanks!

For the M109a3 campers: What have you done for a locking handle for the rear barn doors? I pulled the 2 floor/ceiling rods out and now I just have the handle. Is there a direct replacement you've found that has a key lock? Thanks!

Anybody have a source to find rear door and window weatherstripping for the M109 box? I'm midway thru my gut job and just really noticed the stripping was pretty much gone. Thanks!

After over a month and 1200miles on the beat up spring seat, I needed a change. I went to Pull-A-Part and got a really nice set of Trailblazer seats with the integrated seatbelts (mainly for the wife). Fab'd up mounts and mounted them in. Look great, comfortable as hell, and unusable for me...

I was on a weird shift and didn't get to it till yesterday. I was able to do the fronts since I'm waiting for my budd socket to arrive. The pads weren't too out (about 30) so I adjusted those out. Then did a look around of the axles. I found one rear and both front cylinders seeping. So I...

Not yet, figured that would be my next stop if it wasn't a glaring issue sticking out

After a deep dive in the search with vague terms, I figured I'd ask I've had my M109 for over a month and well over 1000miles, the brakes are becoming a concern. They stop the truck and the pedal travel hasn't changed. Problem is: it's an inch off the floor. I drained the air tanks, checked all...

Thanks, that helps! Did you use any RTV on the gasket or throw it in dry?

I learned a new fun fact today: A turbo will stay on the manifold with just one mounting bolt. My M109 has been my work/daily for the past week or so and while I knew the turbo manifold mount gasket was bad, I hadn't thought to look deeper till I went to put the gasket on this weekend. I...

That's the one! Just ordered it now

Turbo gasket After putting a muffler on my 109 I found the loud exhaust leak. The exhaust manifold to turbo gasket is blown. Couple questions: Any links to the gasket? Quicker delivery, the better Can the gasket get changed without yanking the turbo? Basically, can I unbolt the turbo, lower it...

Worth a shot to ask.

I'm in the Akron/Kent area.

I did some searching and came up with a mixed bag of info I've got a '72 M109 that seems to have a 4th gear that didn't play well with the others. It would grind a little shifting into it over 1500rpms and progressively got to where it just gave up It must be contagious because my Xterra...
