    Strang cunking noise in M1009 steering

    Need a little help. I apologize for the un technical description to follow... I have noticed a slight clicking noise when I turn the wheel left or right when parked or barely moving. To make matters worse, when I turn to the right at very low speeds, I occationally get a clunk out of the front...

    Help My M1009 is cold

    Was hoping for a little advice. I brought my m1009 in today to a garage to have a block heater installed. I figured that I did not want to loose the plug inside the block which would be my luck. I have a temp gage installed in the truck and it normally runs between 170-180 depending on the...

    M1009 Mod. Pic's

    Yea.... the chrome is the first thing to go as soon as it warms up enough to paint. The truck has 2"lift. Springs in the front and blocks in the rear. Oddly enough the MPG was around 15-16 mpg with 32"tires and 3.08 gears. I switched to the 4.11 gears and 32" tires and I can say the motor was...

    AJM, PM sent... sorry, sent one prior, not sure why it did not get to you. Thanks... The tires made a hell of a difference and the steering stop turned out not to be an issue. Tom

    M1009 Mod. Pic's

    I figured, I have picked enough peoples brains for info in the last several months that the least I could do for all the help is post a few pictures of the changes. I got it from ARMADA in outstanding condition. Like most things, I had to make it "mine" none the less. (ARMADA, notice it is...

    I finally got some tunes!

    In AJMBLAZER's picture there is a plug socket to the right (and below) of the steering wheel. My m1009 has one, an I am driving around taking guesses as to what it is. I figured it was for the radio in the rear, but did not think m1008 would have it. Sorry for the Hijack, but I saw the...

    Help I have broken my lockout hubs

    Thanks all, Hubs installed this morning. No problems at all. Went with the Warn Premium. Sadly, paid through the nose, but my m1009 is my daily driver and with all the ice and snow lately, I did not think it was wise to wait to long. Thanks again Tom

    Help I have broken my lockout hubs

    Ok -15 last night, I went out to engage my lockouts on m1009 and they were frozen. Simple, little tap with a hammer!! 3 min later both are free spining, around and around and around.

    CUCV Block Heater Help Needed

    Hello All, Due to a tire size change, my m1009 is now living outside until I rework the garage doors. It was down to zero last night so starting was a little less than ideal this morning. Its going down to -10 tonight, so I expect more of the same. Rather than slowly kill my batteries, I think...

    9.00x20 to 11.00x 20 ?

    Last summer I switched to singles on my deuce. I went with 11.00x20 g286's. I also have one for the spare. Now after all the labor, I have come to the brilliant decision that I like the duals and want them back. I have been looking for 4 more g286's and they are now out of my price range...
