    Found a M1009, need help with wait light

    Hey guys, did a search and didn't see anything on this particular problem. There is a fuse blowing each time you start the truck in the fuse panel. Truck will start with anew fuse, then fuse blows, no Glow plug "WAIT" light. Replace fuse, wait light comes on, truck starts, fuse blows. Any ideas...

    A few 1 1/4 ton truck questions

    Not to hijack, but does anyone know the 4th gear ratio on 700 R4? Never mind, I googled it and found 70:1 for 4th gear. Is 2200 the target rpm to shoot for??

    new m1028

    LMC truck or local parts store should have the blower motor fairly inexpensive part. When you say glovebox, are you needing the whole thing?? Junkyard might be best bet for that. If you need d-rings for tow hooks, tractor supply sells a good substitute. HTH,

    I Got My M1009 Stuck

    I second that!! No substitute for a winch and with Superwinch selling one for 300 bucks, not as hard to come up with as they used to be.:grin:

    What insureance do you have on your m1008 0r m1009?

    I only have liability because I only paid 2200$ for the truck. I felt like the insurance co. would lowball me on the settlement if it was stolen or totalled.

    So y'all are saying you can tow say, my SSII rockcrawler on a trailer as long as I keep it around 55-60 mph?? Trailer and truck probably weigh around 6k together.

    Really like those!! Do they come with the pouches on them?? I think they would look great on my Scout II rockcrawler.

    What is it about the M1008/M1028?

    I know, I drive a ford f-350 powerstroke everyday at work. I would much rather drive my M1031 than the much faster, sir conditioned ford. One thing is these model trucks have always seemed to fit me well seating wise. Plus like the dstang said, they are bada##!!!
