RE: doghead starter relay modifcation I got the new relay for this project to stave off any backroad breakdowns. As I reviewed the procedure I see something that may be a problem- not in the original procedure; but in the "add-ons", if you will, with the added diode: The original photos show...

I have been reading about Diesel Additives. Found some good info on this one. Anyone familiar with it? Is it effective. Where do you get it? How much does it cost? Thaks, Ed

I am thinking of taking the antenna off of the "M1008" and switching it over to the M1009 and just running one- I admit I think the twin set-up run with rear bases do catch my eye; but I have just one antenna now and I was thinking about placing a base on the drive side rear. Any problems with...

The set I ordered got here last week. I put the front ones on without any issues... The rear ones look funky: First the shock has one built-in bolt instead of a throug-the-eye bolt like the stock. The Bilstein bolt is also larger in diameter. I began to remove the old rear passenger shock; but...

I went to replace the Tansmission modulator in the M1009. The guy at the parts counter said he had Fram parts only; but there was two type: Fram - Transmission Modulator Green Stripe or Blue...

I finally got a bunch of MFC fuel cans in and a water can as well. I have been trying every screw I have in the garage; but have yet to figure out wat size and thread count fit the water can mount- where the can rack bolt to the floor riser in the Driver rear of the M1009. Anyone successfully...

I have been around the web looking for Black to go with the '383' green and brown I am using for a total repaint. I have used the flat black by Krylon; but I don't like it for this job- rather have something with the same apearance over the long haul as the '383'. Rapco has 911 Flat Black... is...

I am getting the paint together to give my new-to-me M1009 a new Nato camo paint job. I see there are newer patterns to replace the "old" pattern. Is there a photo somewhere that shows the actual vehicle side-by-side. I have seen the line art patterns- I just want to see the real deal before I...

This M1009 is my first 4WD. That I have actually had to exit and lock up. I am checking it out for the first time since I bought it 6 weeks ago in 4WD. I have engaged the front hubs. Placed the column shifter in Neutral and while beginning to move forward, placed the TC shifter in 4HI. The WD...

I'm getting ready to prep the M1009 for paint; but I see the white fiberglass showing through in a couple of spots. How do I repair or prep this before spraying the new 383 paint on?

Did the searches on this forum and tracked down the Diode on the rear of the horn relay near the fuse block. I use to know how to read IC; but don't remember now. What diode is used here. I hate to just cut it out. I'll make up a diode with two leads and use parasite splices to tie the new one...

Looking to carry more fuel into the great unknown. What options are there? I looked at the tanks on JC Whitney; but it seems that all they have is a 31 Galon tank- it's only $200; but I don't know if its worth the effort for such a small gain. I'd rather make more room for a extra 5 gallon...

New M1009 owner just learning the vehicle. I have always gone out an bought the usual Chilton, Clymers and Haines manuals as well as the Dealer Shop manual specific to the make and model year. When I could not get a good description or picture in one... So now I want to get the requisite books...

Just bought this back from the U-Pull IT. Cost $45.00, all steel with rubber coating. It came off a minivan; but needs only mild persuasion with an over sized hammer to lay flat. Question: This seems like an obvious question at that: Should I not plan of securing this to the fiberglass top...

What size rims are stock on the M1009. Mine came without a spare and I would like to get a couple. The tires and rims now on are 31x10.5-r15 LT. Sould I stick with this size or can I get a larger tire on the stock rims? Thanks

I am looking at a M1009. What are the watchwords here? What do I have to know about before making a decision to buy. I am not familiar with deisel engines. What should I check in the suspension and drive train?. What are the must have features? Thanks... I need help before it gets snapped up.
