    North Carolina MV RALLY April 6th, 7th,& 8th 2012

    How about rocks/stones that can ring around the fire? If the fire needs to be up off the ground, can we build it on stones or can the fire logs sit on the ground, surrounded by stones? I have a truck bed full of wood and stones. I want to make sure this is ok before I go to the effort....

    Tips for Restoring Power

    I have been running WVO and more recently WMO in my M1009 for over a year. Only when I switched to centrifuged WMO with 15% RUG did my power problems start. Starts fine (hot or cold engine) and runs smooth. However, no power. Will not go over the curb to my driveway! Ran Seafoam for 500...

    Black engine oil!?

    Does anyone follow the recommendation for engine oil weight listed on the back of the sun visors? It says SAE 30 above 40°F and 10W-30 below 40°F, with either recommended between 40-60°F. I have always run Rotella 15W-40 because everyone else does. I am thinking about changing to the SAE 30...

    Varnish/Stain for Fuels?

    A friend who does custom wood flooring has a 55 gallon drum of used varnish and stain (i.e., Minwood, etc.). Can this be cut and burned in a M1009 6.2L engine? I have been running UVO and UMO for over a year with no problems. We were talking yesterday and he just mentioned it. I told him I...

    We are in, joining the Johnson troops from Marion, SC. Bringing the M1009 and possibly the M101A1 behind a Dodge 2500. Looking forward to the trails, conversations, fun, and the swap meet. Bringing the wife and two boys (ages 7 and 11). It will be the first time for the wife and boys!

    M1009 Pintle Assembly

    Does anyone know where I can get the entire pintel assembly from? I need the pintel and all mounting plates and brackets that attach to the frame and rear bumper. Mine is completely missing.

    Starter Shim Question

    My M1009 starter ever so often grinds. I let it cool for a minute or so and it engages just fine. Should I remove the starter shim to allow the starter and flywheel to engage about 1 or 2 mm closer? Would this harm anything?

    M1028 starter relay???

    Sounds like you may have sheared off a bolt and the starter is shifted and not engaging the flywheel. Check to see if it is loose.

    Starter Failure

    If thread locker had been used, I would have had a much harder time removing the broken one. No locker for me; just periodic checking and tightening.

    Starter Failure

    Was very lucky. M1009 starter sheared off outer bolt and failed to engage flywheel. The front bracket had come apart from the block and the torque snapped the bolt. Got two new bolts from GM and the block bolt from Home Depot thanks to the information in the sticky. Had it back on in under...

    M1009 Resistor Bank

    I have removed the resistor bank from the vehicle. What is the resistance suppose to be? What will it be if the resistors are bad? Truck had the bank by-passed. When I connected it and measured the voltage going to the glow plugs it started at ~10 VDC and then started climbing! I shut it...
