    M1009 Rear Shocks??

    I put the RS5000's on. I will be back in a bit with the part numbers. The first ones sent to me were not even close to fitting, I then made a sketch of the originals and mailed it with the wrong shocks back and I finally got the right ones.

    M1009 Rear Shocks??

    The M1009 stock rears have a nut on the inside of the frame and a flat washer type on the outside of the shock. Nothing to bite on to. While we were ratcheting the nut the entire bolt was spinning in the rubber grommet in the shock head, therfore, anglegrinder came into play. The Ranchos are...

    They lost my truck!!!!

    I would have demanded a refund and cash back for my time and gas. Then I would contact EBay and report them for fraud. I would send the ad with pictures and the crap they tried to pawn off on you. Not a way to do business. Some peoples children.

    When cold it stays on till heat is blowing from the heater and then flickers (if I hit bumps it flickers off and on too) today it was solid for about ten miles from cold, 37 degrees out. (wait light) Will for sure pull the bulb, 24V battery dies every three days or so.

    M1009 Rear Shocks??

    I cut the washer on the outside off. We then pulled the shock off the screw. (completly remove the shock, it will be easier with it out of the way.) At that point we could get underneath the ridge on the shock and cut it off. did a little grinding to remove excess metal and then punched the bolt...

    M1009 Rear Shocks??

    ok, first itme on a M1009 today I replaced my shocks. I used a 1" socket on a 1/2 drive, an extension and a breaker bar. I slid under the truck on my back and was able to get all the tools in place. Not comfortable for me but i can suffer for 10 minutes. The pin in the shock started spinning...

    What to do??

    That is funny, I have to .30 cans for speakers on the rear wheel wells. Also looking into the truck type wheel well storage boxes too. I do have a K5 console I out in, nice to hold my coffee cup. If i don't cut the dash i might be able to put it in the console and just run my ipod from it.
