Im in the market for a paint job for my 1009. I woud shoot it but don't really have the space. Problem is only place I have found wants 1000 and I provide paint. That seems high to me.

Did you shoot the Gilespe paint? Bahr or CARC?

I think I had to refill my overflow 3 or 4 times when I did mine.

I took my crossover to a Machinist friend of mine and had a boss drilled and tapped in it, cause I wanted that location and was to cheap to spend 20 bucks on a Humvee crossover...

Urethane bushings and new shocks all around for the 1009. Rides great! but did notice that all the tie rod ends were shot too... Rock auto parts on the way.

This is why I love this place!

Load test batteries, if good, check fuel system. Filer clogged? Fuel Jelled?

This is from the mil STD 889, the farther apart the two alloys are on the chart the more corrosion will be an issue. Second Table from MIL-STD-889: Active (Anodic) End ------------------------------------ Magnesium Mg alloy AZ-31B Mg alloy HK-31A Zinc (hot-dip, die cast, or plated) Beryllium...

Both Bosch and Delphi are good stuff.

They rebuilt the same pump I carried in. I always read that was best, as I know it only had 60,000 on the pump head.

I used another Diesel place in Memphis, and the pump alone was 800 just for the rebuild. I did the R and R.... I wish I had asked here....

I live 10 miles from DCP in Memphis. I wish I would have asked about them here. I did my pump 2 months ago. DCP does NOT have a good reputation here at all. So I went with another local rebuilder recommended by a friend that is a JB Hunt mechanic. My pump is great! But I could have had...

AECS Here, dont get to retire for 2 more years!

I didn't intend to start a discussion, It is simply one of the considerations that led me to make my initial CUCV purchase.

I have an M1009, it is pretty much a Daily Driver. I got it for a good price, I like the military history, and the EMP resistance of the simple electrical. I was getting diesel one day and a guy in a brand new Vette was in front of me getting gas, he was admiring the Blazer, his comment: "this...

If it was loose enough that is just fell off, I would suspect that the shaft is buggered up a bit. I would replace it, 60 bucks at autozone is cheap insurance....
