Really. I thought for sure we has a CSI here that could tell if they are the OEM tires. One thing that makes me suspect that they are NOT OEM is the absence of wheel weights. And like I mentioned I recall all the new M1009's having the Uniroyal Laredo tires, and the pick up cab chassis variants...

It is fairly easy. Check out this thread. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucv-head-gasket-head-or-change-engine-survey.137671/page-8#lg=post-1769561&slide=3 And the best part is you can return it to an M1009 again just like I did. The parts are easy to come by. The front bed wall can be...

As always I want the correct thing. I don't want to cobble something together and have it fail when it is -20 and I am 100 miles from home in a blizzard. I will live with the incandescent bulbs till I locate a pair of LED. I have many 4" civilian LED and will never be using the military pigtail...

Dorman 904-101 Fuel Injection Return Hose & Clamps 82-00 6.2L / 6.5L GM Diesel (dieselpowerproducts.com) I have used these in the past. The clamps are a the hardest thing to get off and seated properly. Take your time and it will all work out. Good Luck.

After a long day I felt the need to do an encore. So here it is. I can hear the cheering already.

I had a very productive weekend. Today I multitasked a few things today. Grass cutting, chicken coop cleaning, and grinding this trailer jack mount off an old trailer frame piece. I found this Bulldog 2,000 lb jack in a field. I am mounting it on my utility trailer. I can't lift the trailer...

Speedo cable lube or cable and chain lube. You can pull the cable out from the top side and examine it. Spray lube or cable lube in a drip bottle works well.

That looks like inexpensive hardware to me. I buy Kubota fasteners and hardware. Expensive is only the cost of doing it right the first time. Try doing it wrong a few times. Is that less expensive?

I am in for lunch, and this is how I left the M1009. I am going back out to work on a few other things and I will do something moving forward on this project today as my goal. I want to hang fenders, but the grass is growing so fast I can see it moving. Any of you guys ever remember using a...

OK I have all 4 tires and wheels removed from the M1009. I know it is again, but life happens. I don't know the age of these tires. I know the one is an MTR Wrangler I wore out myself on an M1009. The MTR's I ran till they were bald and worn out. I never had a flat with them and I wheeled the...

Get them working now. The voltmeter has nothing to do with it. It seems you have a loose / poor connection at the back of the printed circuit board or a loose corroded socket. Check everything and make everything work before reassembling the cluster. That is why I like to let the housing...

This is proof positive that it does not take long for horizontal surfaces in a garage/barn to attract residents. Less than 48 hours and I now have 2 new patio umbrellas. I pushed the M1009 back and forth a bit and centered it in the garage for progress to begin. I swept the garage floor and...

Stay Thirsty means I will be bringing more progress for you to absorb. Take Care. I have a few attachments on my body to work with but I am getting it done. Thank you for the positive support. The negative support is welcome also. Just don't expect me to absorb much of the negativity. I am way...

I was on a roll today. I feel good and motivated. I had to start a wood fire in the house it was 45* and I worked in the basement a few hours. I fixed 2 jacks for trailers. I am getting good at rebuilding the Bulldog jacks. I bought all the parts I needed from etrailer.com After I was done with...

Behave yourself, Tomorrow is Mother's Day. I wanted to get all my work completed today so I can rest after a long week of long hours. After overhauling the jack from the M1102 I went out to install the jack. The trailer tongue was too heavy for me. I thought for a moment and BAM. I shoved...

This is old news. This is the condition of the M1102 trailer jack when I bought it. I disassembled the entire jack. I cleaned everything and had the handle straightened in a press. I ordered a new tin cover plate from etrailer.com and replaced the bent twisted cover plate with a new one. I...

This is all good to know as I am doing a full restoration on 2 right now. I see the scrap bringing $10K. I want to build a game changer.

Not really. I had it 18 years and it had 1900 miles on it when I bought it. I was tired of fixing things all the time and the rust was coming aggressively. I replaced every body panel on that truck while I owned it with Genuine GM parts and the main cab started rusting in the roof line, cab...

This used to be my M1028A1. Just sharing.

Can someone tell me if these LED lights are compatible with stock M1102 taillamp buckets? These look like they get flush mounted and I don't think they will work for trailer lights with the flat back. Just a question. Can anyone enlighten me on these lights. Thank you in advance. I am trying to...
