    Undercoating Thoughts?

    Hey all, just had a quick question... I'd make this a poll but I wanna know all the unique ideas I bet y'all got! What is the BEST way to undercoat a vehicle on a reasonable budget in your opinion? Looking for DIY solutions! The M1009 I have is 97% rust free, and if there was any, it's a very...

    Mysterious Transmission Leak?

    Hmm interesting replies yall! I looked at the cooler lines, and I didnt see a whole lot, although I feel as though I am gonna need closer inspection... However, the leak seems to me on the passenger side on the leaf spring mostly (which initially I thought was a fuel pump leak, and after...

    Dash bulb troubles...

    Sorry! I meant I was using 168 bulbs! Also the LEDs I have are also 168! And as for the back of the circuit, what I noticed is that with all sockets in place, and all bulbs in, the right most one is out... However unplugging the middle one make the right bulb come on! I did what you said by...

    Dash bulb troubles...

    Here is a new update. I do not know what changed but after putting what I could together here is what I learned... The speedo bulb on the left is always on now, the right most bulb on the fuel level gauge doesn't turn on (when all 3 bulbs are in). However, when I remove the middle bulb, the...

    Mysterious Transmission Leak?

    Hey folks, my M1009 has always had a transmission leak. I run through about 500mL per 1000 miles or so. This is fast enough for me to warrant some concern. I replaced the filter and put a new pan gasket in. I see on the frame on the passenger side sometimes signs on tranny fluid, although It can...

    Dash bulb troubles...

    Precisely! Maybe there is a current limiter? Wait, then the fuse would blow, so that cant be it... there arent any shorts of any kind as far as I can tell! At first I thought it was the fact that the voltmeter wasnt plugged in (dash is apart) so i plugged it in and no change... now I am really lost!

    Dash bulb troubles...

    Yessir! I messed with the brightness and everything! Low to high, still nothing sadly. I need a chance to break out the multimeter, but at least from what I noticed, there is no current on 1 bulb at any given time, which is weird to me because based on how I saw the traces, I have no idea how...

    Dash bulb troubles...

    Picked me up some new bulbs sockets all together, and for some reason the problem still persists... only 2 out of 3 bulbs will light up, and it's just so boggling! I removed one bulb (so 2 remaining) and starting mixing and matching all combinations on the sockets and they all do light up...

    Dash bulb troubles...

    Not sure if this helps at all, but when my headlights come on my left turn signal indicator stays on (right turn signal and side marker on outside of stuck stay on) but I'm guessing that's a bad ground and unrelated? Anyone know where the turn signal/side marker ground would be under the hood?
