I think "True Knight" hit the nail on the head here. Mine was doing the same thing and I modified mine just like he did...this should solve your problem. It cost me around 50$ because I already had some parts to do this. Its not hard to do at all. the new assembly will bolt right right to the...

Man I sure have'nt. I had some other issues come up. the front end is ceased up up so any of the shops I took it to said i have to buy a bunch of new parts so I can get my alighnment strait so i've been flloing with that. Its on my list to do. It wouldnt be hard to do at all though. its just a...

@ Srjeeper: I like the M16A1 he has. I may just go with that because I can not find a decent M16/M203 anywhere within my budget. Thanks for the link.

I am looking for a scale model of an M16/M203 that was plastic that Academy produced several years back. I would like to have one just for display purposes in my military vehicle. Does anyone know where I can find this model? After doing some research it appears the company went out of business...

I've tried the WD-40 and wasn't pleased at all with the outcome. I'll try the Armorall in a few spots just to see how it performs and if it's not up to par I'll try the diesel. At this point, stinking Armorall is cheaper than diesel anyways...lol I'll update this thread once I find something and...

I'm also taking stab in the dark. My truck also came without the water sensor. A lot of people just take them off and if you don't seal that hole up properly it will certainly make your truck run rough, especially during start-ups. Does the "water in fuel" light stay on or does it go off after...

Thanks guys. I think I'll just go with Jm's idea because drilling a hole and lubeing it would just be a temporary fix. It's not so bad right now but once summer gets here in the South I'll need that extra air flow. Can't beat a 20$ fix and hour of time anyways.

I have the same problem. Washing it doesn't seem to help anything at all as far as the paint goes. I just use my garden hose anymore to wash it off because using a brush with detergent seems to make it worse. I was reading an article where the Huey gunship pilots in Vietnam would wipe their...

I know this has been touched on a few times but nothing seems to work. I used the search function and saw where some people use WD-40 to freshen up their paint. I tried this method and was not pleased at all. My truck is painted solid CARC green and the drivers side is really blotchy. Obviously...

Ever since purchasing my M1009 I've had a horrible (almost ear screeching) sound coming from the blower fan. It's a real pain in the butt. Since we had such a mild winter in the South, heat really wasn't an issue but now that summer is rolling around I need the fan just to keep air circulating...

I decided to post in this section to make it short and sweet. Anyways, long story short, ever since the purchase of my M1009 ive had issues with the fuel delivery system and trouble shot everything I knew so the next thing on the list was to change the fuel pump. No big deal right? Especially at...

Very nice truck Andy! One thing I noticed is that you actually have the correct numbers on your bridge plate too which you hardly ever see. what part of florida are you from bud?

Picked up a can of Line-X to coat the rear cargo area in my M1009 (which is pictured in my avatar), and a sanding block. I also ordered a new fuel pump which cost 26$ including S&H and should be here in the morning. Im hoping the Line-X will also add some sound barrier. I will try and take...

@unaffiliated; Thanks for the tips. I knew there was a better way to do it but I had to do something as a quick fix so I could see at night...I'll go with your method as soon as I can get some time....

I do have a question for you Craig! You can PM if you dont feel comfortble discussing this in the open. as you can see my truck (which is my avatar) is solid CARC green I would like to go with the 3 color camo such as yours. Can you tell me what I would be looking at as far as a repaint to the 3...
