    GL just charged my credit card, they got the EUC and Driver License. Ms. Cowan (in Arizona) told me it could be around 60 days for me to get the invoice and clearance to pick up the M1009. Is this a normal waiting period? I haven't purchased from them in 4 years. GL told me the EUC is good...

    Repaint the M1008

    On the M1009 Top, I removed the old seam sealer and put in new sealer. M1009 had a little leak from the gap. Makes it look a lot better after you paint it. Got new weatherstrip for the removable top from LMC TRUCK. The weatherstrip fit nicely. Just remember, you only have one shot at putting...

    CDR valve from NAPA questions and other tune up questions

    Starting the process of painting the small items on my M1009. I had the rear bumper off and began to strip the original paint down to the metal. Under the green was a black primer (good coat).

    Tell him to start collecting tools, start reading the threads, start doing YOU favors, since most likely in the beginning - you'll be his mechanic! I've been driving my M1009 dailey since 2006. The only issues I've had were new tires, new batteries, new belts and hoses, etc. All considered...

    Water leaking into cab

    Get in your truck and have your wife, friend, or significant other hose down the truck until you find the leak. Mine was the vent window on the driver side. Kids had a blast trying to soak me. And yes, it still leaks, but floor is POR'd.
