65, in a M1009 with 33 inch tires

Plenty of interest. I need to do mine, but hear nothing but horror stories that none of the reproductions fit...

I will give it a good cleaning. And see where it goes.

I have a 1985 M1009, approximately 50,000 miles on it. It starts easy, and runs great. Problem is, when started cold, it fires right up and the cold advance/fast idle seem to work great, abut 2 minutes into the warm up, the RPM start to climb slowly, until it is racing pretty good. Once it...

Sergeant, I moved here from CA with my 1009, towed my DD behind it the whole way...

That is a lot of money for an old truck. I can get a lot more comfort and capability out of something newer. I learned with a VW I put 11k in years ago that you will never get it back. Most people that love old cars, want to do the restore/rebuild themselves, to their own specs. Even rich...

I know this is dragging up an old post, but I am assuming that with the seals for the Diff oil being at the diff I should not worry that when I pulled the axle to do my ball joints that there was no oil and the shaft was dry? I pulled the fill plug and it was full, I guess I was thinking it was...

I think that will be complete when it is time to replace my shocks, that should make a huge difference in on and off road handling.

That link is an invaluable resource, thanks!

That is a sweet TEOTWAWKI vehicle.

33 will only fit with no lift if you run a 10 inch width, the 12 inch width will rub.

450 miles in the 1009 Atoka TN to Pensacola FL...

Driver side ball joints on the M1009. I hate doing ball joints...

My 1009 is parked outside PMO most days, we will have to meet up one day. Have to do ball joints this weekend though so back to the Hyundai for me....

It was north west of Atoka, I should have just knocked on the door...
