    M1009 Door Adjustment

    I think the same way, Dale, that they all have the issue. Mine close, like I say, but they aren't really "closed". There's gotta be a fix for it. I'll figure it out, and report back to you guys on it. Chris

    M1009 Door Adjustment

    Door Adjustment Doghead- I thought the same thing, bad seals etc, but the seals on both doors are soft & in good shape. On another note, I did your relay replacement today, and it worked GREAT. Just before I did it; I would hit the key & sometimes it wouldn't turn over; now it works perfect...

    M1009 Door Adjustment

    I have a set of doors that close, but not all the way. In other words, when I close the doors, they close & latch, and seem tight when first closed. Then, as soon as I hit the first minor bump; both of these doors will go in & out (open/closed direction) about an eighth of an inch. I don't know...

    Akonitony- Thanks, I'll do the same to mine tomorrow. Today, I decided I was going to keep it; for sure, wen & registered it; took the For Sale signs out of the windows. Yesterday, I took the CDR out, found out that the hoses going to it werre loose on both ends. I put hose clamps on the ends...

    CDR valves - Whos got em?

    Thank you; kindly, for the information. I'll get a gasket tomorrow, but on the CDR itself, what are you guys doing; taking the CDR off & then pouring the mix into it, and let it sit? I took mine off, and like I said, it did't seem like there was any kind of obstrucion, am I missing something...

    CDR valves - Whos got em?

    I have a couople of questions for you guys, if you don't mind. I have an M!1009, 96,000 miles. It has blowby from the filler cap; so I took off the CDR & took a look at it. I guess I'm just not that bright, but airflow through mine is totally unimpeded. I took off the filler cap, and I can see...

    Broke your motor from WMO?

    Make SURE you filter well. My old truck went through a fuel pump because I didn't filter good enough, it ate a fuel punp, just ground it up.

    How much motor oil can I burn as fuel?

    I have run WMO @ 90% WMO in a F-250 (6.0) & an old Mercedes 300TD for years. There is a company that makes an EXCELLLENT centifuge for about $1500 that will remove all water & crap down to 1 Micron. The product is called "Simple centrifuge", and it works well. I also installed a diesel...

    Tire chains- any recommendation

    Best Chain place... I use tirechains.com. I use a lot of chains in the winter, have a F-250, a skidsteer, and soon, a M1009. They know what they're doing & have the best prices. On the chains themselves, the v-bars are best, make SURE to get spiders to hold them on good. They are the rubber...
