    Hot Cable?

    What are some symtoms of starter failure? When I attempt to start all that happens is dash light come on, however then it just clicks then nothing. I checked w/ a mech and he said to tap on the starter and see if it would turn over. Too dark out now to try, no cool garages like you all...

    M1009 Tires and Lift

    What red-blooded American boy buys a new set of tires and doesn't test them out at least once!! I know these tires are listed as all-terrians, but I was pretty surprised at their performance in the south louisiana mud. Don't get me wrong we were not in the swamps or boggs or anything like...

    M1009 Tires and Lift

    Yea I left the 3.08's, and she's definitely pretty slow off the start and sluggish on a incline. Pretty cool at highway speeds though. Once my money tree starts to produce, there is definitely pans for 4.11's in the future. Probably distant future aua

    Finally put some funds together and convinced the wife (what a cool b-day present). I put some 33/12.50 Interco Trexus sts tires on some black pro comp 15/8's. I decided no lift for now as the funds were not really working out for now. When I put the wheels and tire on: I like the ride...

    M1000 No Start AGAIN!!

    Just wanted to say thanks for all y'all help! I changed my glow plugs today, and she started right up first crank. I could only get 7 of the 8 out, and a few of those were pretty swollen. All they had had at the local parts store were bosh plugs, but they seem to work so far. As the day...

    M1000 No Start AGAIN!!

    Well, I did have a desil leak. My brother, who works as a desil mechanic for catapillar, helped w/ some trouble shooting. We found the desil leak from the weep hole on the lift pump. With a bad lift pump we thought that the engine wasn't getting enought fuel to fire on first crank. Today...
