I got some spare sockets that I am going to solder in LED lights and see how that goes since we all know these dash lights are terrible.

I just used a test light and tracked down which wires were which and then soldered/shrinktubed the connections. When i started tracing out the extra military connections they had on the M1009 they were all poor connections that were corroding. I went with a 7 blade connector due to how common it...

I have 2 of them somewhere, the I had only used one for awhile but did a little cutting on it to make it work when I got a different battery. I will look if you want.

I had 2 made and they did them out of 2/0 welding wire. I am very happy with them and the cost was high but well worth it for the amount of copper in them.

You can change the power to 12 volts from in the engine compartment. I used to have the same setup for an inverter.

Well Joe's was a bust, Lots of trucks there but completely scavanged or rusted out. There was alot of stuff that should not be in an auto junk yard. I was surprised how much of a mess it was. You tripped over parts that were scattered everywhere. I found one good suburban that hat that style...

Just wanted to let you all know that there are 2 Mil Tow bars at the Fed Surplus for if anyone has an account there to buy. I was there yesterday looking at at truck for our fire company. I am not sure what the criteria is to be able to buy there other than I know fire company's qualify. You...

I just got back around 5 from harry's and no luck on finding a new bench, or any other truck that had brackets similar. Darn I should have grabbed the consul that was on the truck I yanked the wiper switch out of. I also got the ignition cylinder with a key, now all I have to do is find one with...

I am getting new front seats for the M1009 and am wanting to put them in the M1028 for when I goto sell it soon. The bench seat in the M1028 is shot. Nothing but foam and the seat mechanism is shot as well. I am looking for any suggestions. I know I have seen one or two M1028's in GL with...

The TM states 18" if I remember right but i wouldn't push it. Check with the guys on the CK5 forum they can tell you all about the gas k5 blazer and those guys set theirs up for water mud and everything else. Good luck and stay away from any water that is moving much.

Yep I second that Crash is dead on. I was stationed at Spangdahlem AB for 3 years. Everybody pretty much are part of the 52FW fighter wing. Then you have your units. For us it was 52CES/CEF or 52 cival engineering squadron/ CEF is for fire depts. Sometimes units could request materials from...

RE: Re: RE: Bad Alternator I have always had to rev it to have the light go out and kick in the alt's and I have owned the truck since 1999. Even now with it converted to 12V and running on 1 alt I still have to rev. I have 2 brand new optima group 31 yellow tops in it and also kinda a little...

RE: M1009 won That is the right one. It will plug right in. The 5th pin style is more universal. It has no effect on our vehicles.

also might pay to get a heavy duty flasher cause I have seen a bad flasher cause the lights to stay on.

I have had a paint in bed liner in my M1009 since 2000, it has held up pretty good. Unfortunately the rust from underneath is eating through it. I had undercoated it almost every year except when I was out of the country and was often parked in a garage with a gravel floor. This was a kit from...

RE: EUC on its way Well it is almost 2 months for my SF97 ad nothing, so it seems like it may be longer than I expected. But now I am just going to try and get the truck to the point it will pass the inspection. I am also unfortunately looking at selling it as well since I don't have anywhere...

till you need to get the loan for when you have to refuel. I am starting to get mad when the pump shuts off at $75 for 16 gal and I need to go somewhere else to get the rest.

RE: shield yes but many of us pay our rates for years and years and never once make a claim. so for them to use some of our money on what we pay it for isn't too bad as long as you aren't over doing it. our rates keep going up because of constant frivlous lawsuits and the outrageous cost for...

I am surprised they are letting you keep them as military looking as they are. Our inspections on the base over there wanted me to paint a big white stripe down the side of the M1009. I talked them down to a blue one on the back of the tailgate. The next year they tried to tell me that wasn't...

How bad can an unbalanced tire make your truck shake? I finally got to drive my M1028 and the front shakes like hell and it feels like it is comming from the front left side. Feels like a flat spot in the tire but I can't find anything visually wrong with the tire.
