My 1009 has been a daily driver for 5+ years, and the engine runs fine. Never had any shavings in the oil at oil changes, no knocking while running, or any other evidence of extreme wear. The "Low Oil Pressure" warning light comes on with the key, and goes out immediately after starting the...

I am getting ready to do a 6.5 turbo swap into my M1009 and am starting to collect parts, and have several questions. I've seen Diesel Care in Memphis recommended by Cucvsrus and others on here, and their IP rebuilds seem to run between $450 and $750 depending on what you buy. They don't...

what twin stick shifter are you using? Any pics of the shifter or linkage? when you say "slipping" you mean its just coming out of gear into neutral? A gear drive transfer case can't "slip" like an automatic transmission (obviously). Its either in gear, or its not. How do you limp it home...

Do you remember the part number of the thermostat you used? I've had the same problem for a long time and have tried several different thermostats with no success.

The dash gauge is mechanical, and it agrees +/- 1 psi with another mechanical gauge. The other one is fairly cheap, probably harbor freight, but either both gauges are right or they're both wrong in exactly the same way. Definitely a good suggestion though, and one of the first things I did...

I have a 6.2L in my 1009 that is running, but has low oil pressure (25psi cold idle/45psi cold at 2500 rpm, 5-ish psi hot idle 30 psi hot at 2000 RPM), what seems to be a slow oil leak from the rear main, low power, and just seems generally tired. I've been running the truck like this for going...

Just to clarify, I would not suggest using an SM465 without an overdrive/splitter and with 3.73 gears. Like the original TH400, the 1:1 4th gear is not enough for highway driving with the current speed limits and engine RPMs will be too high. If you do install an SM465, I would suggest keeping...

I have used NAPA Gold 6096 for my 1009 for years, but recently finished off my last case of them. I'm shopping for some new ones, and there are several options I was hoping to get opinions on. Napa 6096 - probably the best, $21/ea + shipping https://www.fleetfilter.com/filter/46096.html Delco...

I have a Ranger 2 speed splitter, SM465 4 speed, and an NP205 transfer case. I twin sticked the transfer case while I had everything apart so the front and rear axles can be shifted independently, which can be handy when you're off roading and need front wheel drive to get around a narrow...

I have a welder in my 1009 powered by the 24v system for use in trail repairs. It works great, except being limited to only electrode positive. As long as you put the ground clamp nearby where you are working (to avoid shunting welding current through other parts of the vehicle) there should...

My m1009 has a set of Goodyear MT/Rs in 33x12.50 R15 that are about worn out, and I'm looking to replace them in the next few months. That tire is no longer manufactured in that size unfortunately, so I need something else. I drive on the highway a lot getting out to the trails (150-250 miles...

I drive an 1986 m1009, manual swapped, air lockers in both axles. 33x12.50r15 Wrangler MTRs. In 10 years of winter off roading and highway driving in Utah I've never seen a need for chains. Roads are always fine for a careful driver with 4x4, and if the snow is deep and loose enough off road...

I broke my 1009 rear axle in half. Packed JB weld in the crack to keep the oil in and drove 200 miles home on the highway. Got a new housing for cheap, built a welded truss for it, and swapped all my old parts over. Hopefully it lives... ARB locker, 3.73 gears, 33" tires. It's no monster...

I'm late to this thread, but I run the Off Road Design mounts anytime I need to replace a set. They area significantly stronger than the OEM style clamshell design. The frame side is the sleeve with bushings, and the plate is the motor side. The motor just drops into place and then you pin...

Ok nice. That's what I have in mind for my build. Is there a particular adhesive you have had good luck with? I have a can of 3M "headliner adhesive", but I haven't tried it yet

Can you share details on your headliner construction and mounting? I would like to do something similar in my M1009

What are you doing for lights? High beams on, I bet the stock lighting circuit draws 20A at 12v. For OP (converted to 12v), I would recommend what others have suggested. Try to find a 6.2/6.5 in a junkyard with brackets for an A6 compressor. You'll need brackets shown at the link below...

Has anybody ever seen a lift pump leak externally? I replaced it in 2018 and the truck starts and runs fine, and I don't have oil getting into the crankcase. There is a small amount of diesel dripping down off the bottom of the engine, and I know the injector pump is leaking (saving up for a...

Good suggestion. I didn't think of that, and I'll check it out tonight. If it's just a bad master cylinder that would be an easy fix.

Good idea. I did try that last night. Unbolted the master cylinder completely and hug it from the hood. The calipers were still stuck. I didn't look at the brake pedal itself yet, but with the master cylinder unbolted I would expect the caliper to release if the pedal/linkage was the...
