    Glow Plugs

    Yes, I searched... I found that everyone used to be recommending AC60G's, but now are saying Wellman 070's. Also, everyone was saying buy from ssdieselsupply.com, but now are saying indusadist.com. I need to order a set... Since indusadist.com seems to be out of stock, how are the ssdiesel...

    4 hours at the DMV and I have a plate!

    So I finally got my SF-97 in from GL and decided to get my plates/title/registration taken care of. I left the house at 7:45am on Friday morning, thinking, hey its the day after Christmas, this should be easy! Boy, was I wrong. In Arizona, all vehicles have to take an emissions test. I...

    Harquahala Peak, Arizona in an M1009

    Finally got my title from GL, so I decided to take the family for a trip. We drove up to the top of Harquahala Peak in Southwestern AZ. You can drive all the way to the top, which is about 6000'. Very steep, unmaintained roads. The road up is about 9 miles long in which you start essentially...

    Wheel Balancing...

    So I've been running my M1009 for about 2 weeks. I noticed when it got up to about 55mph, I started getting a pretty bad vibration. I had checked the driveshaft and hadn't noticed any forklift dents. But, I crawled under there again anyway and checked it out. Nothing. I couldn't figure out...

    My new M1009, with pics and questions...

    First, fired right up. Runs great. Checked all fluids - full and clean. Tires needed a little air, but looked good (looks aren't everything!). One of the tires was a uniroyal, while the rest including the spare were goodyear wranglers. Took it for a spin, ran to the gas station to fill it...

    State Forums?

    In light of the earlier thread talking about making members state searchable being to difficult, what about this? Make a "Hometown" section with state forums. Yeah, it would be 57 new forums with 2 more to add later (haha), but it might make it easier for us to get in touch with others in our...

    Barstow inspection..

    Just wondered if someone could run over and look at my M1009. I plan on driving it home (~400 miles) and want to know if she's in any condition to do so. I'd be more than happy to compensate you for time/fuel. Thanks!
