Ok well I just finished up my d44/14 bolt FF install in the m1009. The rear now has 4.1's instead of the 3.08 stuff and I can really tell the difference. I am running 36" tires, but the motor really seems to get going at 50 and I am a little hesitant to take it up to 65 for highway driving...
Need a cap for my radiator. my current cap is a 13lbs one that has been one the truck since i got it. Tm said 15lb relief pressure on the cap. Does this mean I should get a 15lb cap when I replace it?
I cant tell for sure but my coolant level may have dropped a bit. What does a bad head gasket look/feel like. Exhaust is clear, no bubbles when it is running with the rad cap off, starts right up, coolant looks a little rusty after it has ran a while and is green when it has sat, oil is black.
Ok I just got a set of kc daylighters the 6" 130W titanium finish. Has anyone put these or similar lights on their cucv? I am looking for a way to incorporate them into the truck without making them stand out as "add on crap."
Any pictures would be great
Does anyone have the part number for the radiator puke tank for an m1009? Autozone website says they dont have it and mine is cracked. It is a nuisance because if I get on the throttle for a day or work the engine hard the the radiator pukes out the overflow and the fluid is lost and the...
I live in az so I am thinking of a 600w freeze plug heater. I have yet to have difficulty starting it in 50-40 degree weather, but would like to install a heater for going up to the mountains. What is the correct size for a freeze plug heater? I know the ones from napa are supposed to be a good...
What is it and the guy said he doesn't have any papers. Can I get a title or is it not worth it? The guy says it is a 1.5 ton with air brakes.

How could I go about testing the water in fuel sensor? I have the notorious lean from the pressure sensor on the block and am debating on just plugging the hole for the sensor and using the base or getting something else with a water separator and sensor to use. If the base is working besides...
Which coolant sensor is the idiot light for overheating connected to. I want to replace it with the probe for my temp gauge. I know there are two sensors on the block and one is drivers head rear and one is forward drivers head. Which is the idiot light one? I have read things where people...
How is this supposed to work? When the engine is cold the plunger on the right side of the ip is out and the idle up server is giving it throttle. If I push the plunger in the motor gets a lot quieter. It also seems like when the engine is hot the plunger is in the same outward position. Where...
Ok so I have owned this truck for almost a year and am getting a little annoyed at the numerous problems I keep having. About 6 months ago I had to replace the lifter pump and injector pump on a trip and all was well for the most part (other than numerous little parts going out all the time)...
How much fuel should be coming out of the black rubber hose on the front of the ip? I pulled my while it was running today and was surprised to see that is wasn't spraying out, just a healthy drizzle coming from the ip side of the hose. Is this normal? I have never checked it before and so I am...
Well I have a dana 44/14 bolt corporate setup that I am going to buy if the gears are right. It has 4.10 gears in it. My question is will my m1009 still be able to maintain 75mph on the highway for hours or driving with 35" BFGs and the 4.10 gears and without hurting the engine or causing it to...
Ok here is what I got. Some times and sometimes only I will hear a relay go clunk while I am driving (engine been running for more than 5 min) and the volt gauge does almost to the red. It only happens for about a second and the relay clicks off. Based on this I am suspecting the glowplugs. Is...
Well after driving today I noticed around lunch that the truck would chirp when it was accelerating. I discovered that the problem was the center cross member bolts coming loose and one missing :shock: allowing the transmission to move around a lot while being torqued. Tightened the remaining...
Well after sitting for 2 months or so I fired up m1009 and everything is fine, except the parking brake light on the dash wont shut off. I disconnected the switch and it still stays illuminated. Is there an easy or common fix to get it working properly again?
So I know they used the RT524 or the Rt246, but what frequencies do these operate on. I am thinking about getting into ham radio and I am looking at different radios and was just wondering if these radios can be used for 2M transmission?
Thanks
