I am reviving this thread because I was just outside and had the locker out of the M1009 a customer dropped off here a few months back. You will find this hard to imagine but I never knew the spline count on an M1009 rear axle. I never really cared. If it was broken I fixed it or changed the...

I used the sawzall and cut the inner steel bushing. I also used a cutting torch a few times. that makes a huge mess but it works and I always paint everything I have apart. Looks' good.

The Generator lights are supposed to stay on till you rev the engine a little. And as far as the rattle goes the skid plate is probably bent and making contact with the frame. Take it off carefully and straighten the little L brackets at the frame. Reassemble it with new bolts flat washers and...

I tracked down the vibration to the gas tank skid plate. :) I Done Good George

OK. Do yourself a huge favor. If you have an air compressor. Go to Harbor Freight and buy a paint gun. $20. Now get some water base paint in the OD green. Sand the door lightly and paint it with the pray gun. It covers great and cleans up with water. It lasts a long time and it is simple to...

You really have the shotgun loaded up. I see 000 3" magnums in that magazine. :)

Looks like you used a spray can. Did you?

That is the coolant temperature sensor. That determines current coolant temperature and tells the system if the glow plugs must engage or not. If you have the push button system trash it and forget about it. Not the way I would do it but many vehicles are irreversibly hacked up and the cost to...

I agree. A simple pressure test of the cooling system will also point you in the right direction. I think you have a faded/worn head gasket near the cylinder. Do you have any other symptoms? Does the cooling system hold pressure over night. Like a very hard upper radiator hose in the morning...

Hey I have a front set of shocks that were on my M1008 snow plow truck a few months before it was destroyed. If you would like to have them I can send them to you. Not brand new but worth the plane ticket to come to you. Shocks free. You pay the shipping. Let me know.

Fuel tank skid plate?? How about the flywheel cover??? Report back. Take Care.

I done that quickly during my morning break. It is going to last. It is not perfect and it was worse than I expected but I enjoyed the challenge. I must get cracking on my M1009 project. So many things to do and so little time. Friday I was fixing a water leak in a tenant house that had a copper...

List it in the classifieds and you will sell it for sure. these parts are hard to find as many are finding out. May I ask why you did the 12 volt conversion? What is the advantage since it is a 12 volt truck with a 24 volt starter. Just curious.

I don't knock the Chinese made starter. I see the Chinese made starter with A C Delco name on the sticker. Lots of parts are Made in China these days and have been for years. Sorting out the good from the bad is the key. I buy what fits and what works. I don't really care where it is made if it...

I wanted to show you the Rock Crusher. It will keel.

I had some time after work and wanted to get something completed on the M1009 project. I broke out the Energy Suspension body mount kit and went to town. I am home alone and getting ready to go away for a weekend mountain trip to work on my Rock Crusher. The Kit Using the steel mushrooms from...

I was going to tell you that but glad you figured it out for yourself. I know the horrors of finding the correct little fasteners when you get a CUCV that someone else tried changing that switch and had no clue. Not even a hint. I bought steering columns from any GM car of the era just for the...

I was down in the barn working on installing some Energy Suspension cab mounts. I also wanted to share my side window guide rebuilding process. I have done this modification to a few dozen M1009's. It beats the pants off of the replacement side guides that are available. I used my last set of...

If I had know I would have sent a Genuine piece of GM sheet metal along. I didn't know.
