    Multifuel will not start, please help.

    I have tried to use the troubleshooting books, but have not solved the problem. Any help would be appreciated. I am all out of ideas. My M109 multifuel made its first long trip and died when it got home in my driveway. The fuel pump had stopped making noise a while ago, but the truck ran...

    Hello Yudlose I am guessing you are making a camper. I have a double sink and some other parts I did not use in mine. They are yours if you want them. How did you get insurance? Rodger (in Placitas)

    Do I really need a spare tire?

    Hello All Like gimpyrob said, the M109A3 is the M35A2, multifuel, (with a camper box on the back). So I have dual tires in back. The goal is back country camping and a diesel-WMO mix. The more fuel I can carry, the less I have to buy. It will also extend our back country range. (We carry a...

    Do I really need a spare tire?

    Hello All Do I really need a spare tire on my M109A3 ? If there is a flat front tire (or two) I could take one of the four middle tires. A single flat on one of the dual wheels could be ignored. Now, I know this would double the work of changing the tire, but I would like to mount a...

    air compressor bench test question

    Hello All I recently bought a used air compressor as a spare for my M109 camper. There is about 1 mm. of crank shaft end play and I can not feel any air when I spin it by hand. The air filter looks good. It makes a compression sound. Should I be concerned about the end play or the lack of...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Mine is an M109, so of course, I am making a camper. On Saturday I greased the Zerks. On Sunday, I worked on and tested the dog ramp. Actually the dogs tested the dog ramp. They approved it, with some hesitation. After the dog test, I replaced the anti skid surface with scate board grip tape...

    Why is there no fuse box or breaker box

    Hello All I searched my truck, the T.M.s and then this forum. I have confirmed that there is no fuse box in my M109A3 (Works like M35A2). I know there is ONE circuit breaker. Every other vehicle I have owned or seen has a fuse or breaker box. Can anyone explain why the truck was designed...

    How far can a M109 tilt to the side?

    First, thank you all for the input. I understand that there are many variables. and I DO NOT want to tip my truck (Summer Home), that is what I want to avoid. Sometimes the trail goes across the hill. I like the idea of a tilt meter + a safety margin. I would not attempt to test any...

    How far can a M109 tilt to the side?

    When I had a Pinzgauer, the tilt gauge helped reduce the pucker. I chickened out way before the Pinz did. The M109 will be alot harder to put back on its wheels if it ever goes over. Rodger
