    Transmission seal leaking

    Nope, no change whatsoever. If the tranny was shot you would think you might still get some kind of noticeable change when you shift, but maybe not.

    Transmission seal leaking

    How would I know if I got it back on correctly (other than the obvious "if it works")? I just put it back on the same way it came off. I spun the torque converter several times by hand and I could hear the pump working, at least that's what it sounded like. Everything lined back up correctly...

    Transmission seal leaking

    Okay, I got everything pulled out, replaced the front seal (and rear tc output seal), put everything back together, new fluids and......no go. It feels like it's not shifting at all when I move through the positions on the column. I can't tell if the tranny is not shifting or if the t-case is...

    Transmission seal leaking

    Okay, I've just about got the whole deal dropped out, but I ran into one snag. How do you remove the torque converter/flywheel bolts? Every time I crank on them, the engine turns over. Is there an easy way to block the motor to keep it from turning? I'm sure there's a simple answer, but I...

    Transmission seal leaking

    I looked in the -10, -20 and -34 and couldn't really find any tranny removal or seal replacement instructions. Maybe I'm missing something, but it wasn't obvious. I suppose a Chilton's would be just as good.

    Transmission seal leaking

    Is there a seal between the tranny and t-case? Theoretically, there shouldn't be any fluid in there unless the rear output seal on the tranny or the input seal on the t-case was leaking, right?

    Transmission seal leaking

    So, it looks like I'll go ahead and drop the whole thing this weekend. What else should I do while I have it out? I only want to do this once, if possible. Rear main seal on the engine, output seals on the t-case? Should I separate the tranny and t-case or leave them together if they're not...

    How to go about repairing sheet metal?

    Re: RE: How to go about repairing sheet metal? No, I'm going to have a body shop in town do it. That makes sense, though. I'll go the replacement route.

    Transmission seal leaking

    I need to replace the "front seal" on the tranny on my new M1009. It is leaking fluid all over and the PO claims that the "front seal" needs replaced. Does this sound right? What's the actual part name? Also, while I have it apart, should I go ahead and replace the rear main seal, or just...

    How to go about repairing sheet metal?

    So, I finally got an M1009 and, of course, there's a bunch of rust. The front inner fender skirts are pretty bad, but they appear to just be a bolt-in deal. The floorboards near the edges are pretty chewed up, as well as near the gun-mounts. The rockers themselves actually look pretty good...

    I don't suppose Missouri is on the way to Georgia for him? :)

    Looking for a M1009 in the midwest

    Re: RE: Looking for a M1009 in Missouri Yeah, I talked to him. It's an old K9 unit, has a wire mesh divider, no back seat, rust through both rear fenders and tailgate. It's definitely a possibility, but it needs some work and a paint job. Thanks for looking!!

    Looking for a M1009 in the midwest

    RE: Looking for a M1009 in Missouri Bump.... Anywhere in the midwest would work. I wouldn't mind driving up to 500-600 miles. If anyone has a super nice one, I have a really nice deuce w/winch I might be willing to trade, as well.

    Air compressor and air conditioner?

    Re: RE: Air compressor and air conditioner? Good idea. Is there a particular compressor/tank combo that would fit well in that spot? I'd like one large enough to air up the tires and run an impact wrench.

    Air compressor and air conditioner?

    I was wondering if there was any way to mount an air compressor and the compressor for the air conditioner? I understand that if you convert to 12v you can free up one alternator's spot for the A/C compressor, but then would there be enough room for an engine-mounted compressor? Alternatively...

    Possible exhaust leak?

    Hey guys, I think I may have an exhaust leak. It's a loud ticking noise coming from in front of the passenger seat, up high in the engine compartment. The weird thing is that, unlike other exhaust leaks I've experienced, it gets louder at higher RPM's instead of going away. It doesn't show up...

    Looking for a M1009 in the midwest

    I'm looking for a clean CUCV Blazer near Kansas City, MO. I don't mind doing a little mechanical work, but I'd like a clean body. If anyone has one or knows of one, I'd like to hear. Thanks!! p.s. - Yes, I'm searching the classifieds, craigslist, eBay, Google, GL, etc.

    Pulling one wheel from the duals

    Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Pulling one wheel from the d Yep, that's what was in my toolbox when I got the truck. With that and the steel rod, it was no problem.
