The M1009 axle SAGA continues. I was just recollecting with my co driver about the great dirt bike chase at FITG in the M1009. I actually bent the rear axle housing in a slight U. The spines broke in the inner axle like a pencil. I hope to find pictures of that axle housing. My Son's broke many...

I just ask my radiator guy today "how much for a re-core of the stock radiator?" He replied $600. That sounds better then $800.

https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_8131191 Just as good as new. And better for rusty used ones. Just saying short of kinking in a 180* this bends like clay. Maybe they don't have a double flare tool. They need one anyway. Old vehicle ownership requires special skills and tools. That is why I buy...

Just let the old brake lines attached to the axle and make new ones. I am sure if they have to be soaked, they are scrap anyway. Get the new brake hose from frame to axle and form new metal lines from 3/16" tubing. Let me know. I am in Jonestown PA 17038.

I thought of doing this to a friend to see if he was paying attention. The inner tubes on the tailpipes were a great joke. My Son's did that to my M1009. It was funny the sounds it made.

I have a brand-new complete M1009 rear axle in the crate. I am in Pennsylvania. I also have a complete front axle brand new in the crate for the M1009. Shipping is possible.

Today I had plans to work on my trailer outside while it was 45*. That did not happen. I had enough of the mud in my driveway. I started the rock crusher and crushed a couple tons of stone, block, and bricks. The battery was frozen in the battery box. Or should I say it was kept on ice. It...

9449 National seal Remove driveshaft. Is the yoke leaking? It may be the yoke and not the seal. Transfer case stays in place. Any u joints that are made to fit the application are good U joints. Best is the type that are permanently greased. It makes it stronger because it is not hollowed out...

I found the breakaway parts I need for the M1102 trailer. Etrailer.com has all the parts new at a reasonable price. They are being shipped directly to me.

Today it was 50* and I took advantage of the fair weather. I vacuumed out the brake fluid from my M1102 trailer and cleaned the inside of the reservoir, the cap, the cap rubber, and the threads and top of the master cylinder. I refilled the master cylinder with fresh new DOT 5 purple fluid and...

Do you have good tanks? Get the radiator re-cored.

Nice rear Disc Brake conversion. Don't try this at home boys and girls. These are true professionals doing this stuff. Have a Great Day.

How about an M1102? They are making nice campers out of them. I also have a few M1010 bodies that would fit on a M1102 chassis frame. I have the gears turning on making one of them for resale. More in the future.

You don't really need a 4 core. A 3 core will do fine. And my experience has been that the plastic / aluminum cool better. That's my opinion and years of use. maybe I was just born lucky. I don't try and analyze everything on a truck by where it is made at and what is the best. At this point...

Modulator just has an O ring. I hope everything is well now. Make sure you do not have throttle shaft seals leaking on the injection pump. That can make it appear to be the rear main seal also. The leaking fuel washes it's way down the valley and the rear of the engine and appears black like oil...

Good Deal. No before you go all sure about the oil leak check everything up top. I changed rear main seals at customers' requests, and it was the vacuum pump seal leaking or a valve cover. Everything that leaks into the valley of the engine up top drains out the rear hole in the valley appearing...

I have no clue what the numbers mean on the injection pumps. I do know it ran great for the past 8 years and there were no issues. So, the incorrect pump can be ruled out.

And now for something completely different. I like the clean look of the wheels. I am still thinking about the trailer color. I am going to paint it. I picked up new tires and the wheels have been sand blasted and painted. It dropped the height down to 28". Still 10" higher than the Rock...

You do NOT need the glow plugs back on the engine in order to bleed the nozzles. I would spin it over with the delivery nozzles loose. See if fuel is coming out. The heavy wire (red/pink) is the 12 volts on wire. With a test light see if you have 12 volts when the switch is turned on and off...

The point is that you did it. And you did it yourself. As long as the metal tubes are not making any contact with anything you have completed an A + Job. Congratulations. Most replacement lines I have seen on peoples CUCV's were just swinging in the breeze unsupported. So, if you went thru the...
