    Belt Wiki Inconsistency So in preparation of replacing my belts I've been researching, and when I compare the numbers on the wiki I'm getting mixed results. The dayco and gates numbers don't seem to cross reference. See here: http://www.autobeltsonline.com/autobeltcrossreference.html The...

    Trailer ID Help

    Hi I'm looking for help identifying this trailer. It sits abandoned in a piece of property and, before I knock on their door, I'd like to arm myself with knowledge. I'd also be curious to know what you guys think I should offer for it if I choose to do so. Any things I should look for when...

    LED Reverse Lights and Dome Lights

    HI All, I've been absorbing a ton from this great forum on my new truck so I thought I'd contribute. I have two little kids that like to ride in my new M1009 and, when we leave grandma's house after dinner at 8pm it is DARK in the cab. Trying to strap in the kiddos in the dark, I quickly...

    M1009 Rear Glass to Sash Relationship (What keeps em together?)

    Keep the old red bench seat?

    I found a rear bench seat on Craigslist that was an upgrade from the original red bench In my m1009. Is there any intrinsic value or reasons to keep the old red one? I don't have a lot of storage space around here so I'd prefer to sell it off if there's no reason to keep it with the truck.

    Clevises

    I recently bought a clevis here on the classifieds to replace my missing 4th clevis on my M1009. It arrived in the mail today and it won't fit on my truck! Do these things come in different sizes? The guy I bought it from says it came from another m1009. It's easily 3/4'' narrower than my other...
