I found a shop here in CA that quoted me $350 to fix my stock exhaust and only $375 to run full 3". So I went with the full 3". It looks pretty good, sounds great, and I can feel a very slight increase in torque at low-rpm from a stop. My only concern is that it hangs down a little lower than...

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here :deadhorse: since there are so many exhaust threads on this website, but none of them really address my question. After a broken U-Joint incident down in San Diego, I am running straight pipes, and it's just too loud. I want to run a 3" exhaust from the...

I'm looking to replace the weatherstripping on pretty much my entire 1009. Some of the weatherstripping items list two options. For example: Windshield Rubber Standard VS. Windshield Rubber Custom Does the M1009 use Blazer Standard or Blazer Custom parts? I read through the FAQs sticky, and...

I have a roof rack, 35s and a 4" lift, so I I don't usually get 22mpg, but I suppose it IS possible that my gas gauge was playing tricks on me.

I've got my father's friend looking at my M1009 in his shop to figure out why it will not cold start; and why I used 3/16 of a tank of gas to travel 40 miles. All of which were highway and I never drove over 60MPH. So far all he's discovered is that my starter was on it's way out. He has not...

I haven't posted on here in a while, so I figured now is a good time to update what I've done to my 1009. -New CV Drive shaft -New 3-Core radiator -Added Engine oil cooler -Added transmission fluid cooler (both inline with the radiator) -Installed my 35mm ammo can center console, complete w/ a...

Thanks guys! I did some further research and actually found out how to do it step by step on youtube, but I figured I'd rather go slightly slower than risk melting my heads. I guess that'll happen when I get my Banks Turbo kit. :grd:

my rig now this is how she sits now. :)

I've done a little... Well here's the LONG list of what I've done to my M1009 this week: Replaced radiator, installed oil cooler, installed transmission fluid cooler, replaced driveshaft with a Spicer CV driveshaft with bigger U-Joints, rebuilt transmission, Replaced vacuum pump, made and...

thanks for the advice guys! I decided not to touch it since I'm not sure what I'm looking at yet. I bought my CUCV in February this year, and have not really been able to learn the ins-n-outs of this thing. I just finished my 6 year contract with the Navy last month, and I'm currently trying to...

Alright, this is a little vague, since I was given a brief description of how to do this, but the other day when I was at the navy base, I was talking to a Seabee, who works on the 6.2 Diesel and knows it inside and out. He told me of a way I can make a night and day difference on...

What ended up being the issue with your transmission? I used to have an identical problem with my m1009. But now it just won't shift out of first, unless I play with the shift lever for 5 minutes straight.

Hey guys, as usual I'm getting a ton of useful info here. I'm likely going to purchase the axle that was offered, if the shipping isn't going to kill me. I am also concerned that I get a set of rims that match the center bore of the hub. And I would absolutely love to find some grade 8 wheel...

I'm going to replace my wheel hubs, studs, rotors, and bearings on both sides. I was on the freeway last night when the 1009 suddenly got violently shaky; then substantially lower to the ground, bringing me to a screaming, grinding, smoky halt (well the tires were screaming, I was yelling...
