I did have some success on my dad’s 06 rabger. He wanted bigger mirrors. I found some for a 2000 gmc sierra at the local yard. We made adapter plates to mount them. Much better view bow! Before Created a template and the brackets

Well, here I am, having the most fun ever! I have some body mount bolts that are spinning. I guess the solution is to cut a hole in the floor to get access? What about the bolts at the back of the cab? How do I get access to them? thanks everyone!

Sir, it looks new again. From every angle and every view it is once again a new M1009. You have created a new M1009. I enjoy looking at the work you have done, it inspires me to try harder.

I was going to set it up with a remote oil tank with inline filter and an electric pump.

I was going to do that to my 96 Ranger 5.0 but life had other ideas.

Has anyone ever considered running a single exhaust and plumbing in a remote turbo from the rear? Just asking…

Oh the things we do to make things work! my engine hoist worked great when I swapped in a 5.0 on my 96 Ranger. But on an M1031, I needed to be a bit more creative without removing the radiator support. The hoist is at full extension in the pics. That was fun! now to clean up and reseal the...

Not sure what the unknown connector is. The brown wire with the rubber head on it goes to the brake sensor (cannot remember the correct name for the part) under the radiator on the crossmember.

Good evening. A question for the collective. I have an 86 M1031, 16 k miles. Currently resealing the transfer, transmission and the engine. The only issue for the IP is that it has is leakage at the external seals. If the engine is running well at all speeds and idle should I have the IP...

Evening All, lots of little things accomplished this afternoon. 8 more bolts and the engine comes out. All the wiring is disconnected from the engine, fuel filter housing is removed. Vacuum line to the trans has come out. Oil lines are disconnected from the engine. All that remain are 6...

Hello All. Today I started disassembly to remove the engine. Removed the alts, radiator, generator speed controller. Took lots of pictures to remember where everything goes.

One last update for today. used a 1/16 drill bit to drill two holes in the shifter shaft seal. Screwed in two #8 screws, used vise grips to lock on and then a large flat tip to provide leverage to walk it out. No damage to the shaft. A little Dexron III on the seal and a 9/16 deep socket...

Replacing the seal and gasket on the front pump went surprisingly well. Homemade slide hammers work well except for the one pinched finger. Very clean inside the trans. Barely any grit on the magnet. I am replacing the original pan with a new one that has a drain plug. One of the cats...

Hello All. Been getting work done lately. Resealed the transfer case over the last month. yesterday I removed the trans crossmember, torque converter cover and torque converter bolts and unbolted the starter. Today after cleaning up the shop I pulled the transmission, power washed everything...

Spring break is here, getting some time in the shop. Over the last month I managed to reseal the transfer case. In the last two days I removed the transmission and pressure washed it. Getting ready to reseal it this week. Then it will be time to pull the engine.

I know your pain…

Here is a picture of the tool. It allows you to push the lock plate down so you can remove the snap ring. the turn signal switch is below the lock plate.

Good evening! Read your post above. The switch arm mounts into the wiper switch...

If you were having to “hold” the arm to make the right turn work, the plastic mechanical switch has physically broken.
