Ive also had the same issue maneuvering at low speed, when rocking the truck back and forth to steer in a tight space. Turns out it was the old sprag transfer case binding up and it would kick me outta gear so damn hard. I ended up pulling the front driveline and stopped having issues.

When I first picked up my truck back in Dec. 2014 I didn't have any brake problems. Forward to May of this last year and my drivers rear hub would lock up and not release. I bled the wheel cylinder which had pressure and it released. No other wheels demonstrated pressure while stopped with the...

After a long time of the passenger speak through door on my box rattling around and boucing back and forth from a lost lever to close it, I found it buried behind the drivers box seat in the little cubby holes with the door frames. It was a very happy day after several rain storms had utilized...

The truck I picked up is listed as a M109A3 with an LD 465, My truck had the round style front and rear lights, which I replaced with the newer style for visibility but it seems something about the configuration in the passenger rear is shorting out and burning bulbs/the flasher unit. External...

Hey, that all seems familiar! Except my axle didn't do me a favor of impeding my mobility before frying the front bearings and dropping the wheel and hub :P When in doubt its best to tear down and thoroughly inspect. Without a doubt, it still doesn't hurt anything to inspect.

Is there a list of accessories, componets that were upgraded from the m35a1 to a2 config while in service? I have a m109a3 with about 1400 original miles when I bought it and found a lot of my stuff is from the a1 genration, and would like to know what additions were made or changed to make...

Thank you all for your input, my reasoning for posting this was to make everyone think again about maintnence. I had done all four rear bearings repaced and clean and noted they looked great, grease was good and all aside from one that was contaminated with axle oil. I had inspected my fronts...

Not sure what went wrong, lost both spindle nuts and destroyed the bearings. Drove my M109 from California City to Reno in a day, about 375 miles total I believe. I had started to notice an odd vibration at around 35mph, I think it was specifically at 1800 RPM in fourth gear I would feel it...

I did all of my coolant hoses; Pulled radiator out, cleaned it thoroughly Removed thermostat and replaced all hoses & thermostat Replaced all three belts while the radiator was out Deleted Flame Heater while removing the upper water pathways Pulled the J pipe that goes to the oil cooler and...

I wanted to give a big shout out on here to LowTech. I started in September with no idea what I wanted to do, just that I loved my Rough Road truck and sleeping in it was a little uncomfortable but doable. Upon speaking with him at an event, LowTech mentioned being able to set me up with someone...

:ditto: Very interested in how this is mounted, what gauge steel did you use for the square?

Spare time? Shoot mine didn't even come with a spare tire!

I will post some photos tonight once I can upload and resize them :) I took way more then you probably care to see.
