Keith_J, I have read about that, and noticed it too. That is why when I get to working on the heater, I will have my heater core serviced at a local radiator shop. So I can keep my original core if possible. Because it blows now, just lukewarm, not hot enough to cook a turkey. LOL Just to...

Hi guys, I need a new dash pad too. I prefer to replace the pad, and not just cover it up. So, thanks to CJtroutt for posting the link to Car parts discount. I am considering ordering this, as soon as I can fit it into my budet, and I get a few more important issues out of the way first...

Good to hear, an oil change is a good thing to keep your engine healthy... And you like the nickname of mine? "RumbleLina"?? If yes, Thank you.. Big Sexy is a good one too...

Hi guys.. Oil and filter change got done... Added in 2 quarts of Lucas oil stabilizer into the mix... And have noticed a difference already, it runs quieter, smoother, a nd better acceleration, We shall see what happens, the longer it is in there. Just my $0.02 cents...

Hi guys, SWBradley is right, compared to the cars, most of those things whatever they are on that lot, most look similar in size to the cars and trucks, or smaller. Maybe it is a yard full of farm equipment, go-karts, etc... Who knows... About the biggest vehicle I see there is what looks...

Hello Armor, What is that tank for, that is on top and where the radiator fan shroud should be? With the warning label on it?.

Hello Tom, I just saw this on the bottom of your last post: "Owner of: 1985 M1009 and way too much other OD, camo and desert tan military odd and ends." And I was thinking... If you ever want to get rid of some of that other OD, especially if it is green or camo, please feel free to send it...

Hello Twomorestrokes, Thank you for the information. I will check into all that when I get to that point, I will look for a socket while I am looking for a cluster too. And if I end up replacing the entire cluster, I will make sure to install all new bulbs, before installing the cluster in...

If you just did a mod, where are the photos? LOL

Thank you for the advice... I will have to try it that way, when I go back in there. But can the bulbs be removed from the front, without having to remove the sockets from the back side at all? The shift indicator works fine when I take it out of the cluster, and pull on the string while it...

Recovry,I agree with you. That is why I change mine at least every 3,000 miles... and Shell Rotella T is the only oil I have ever used so far. And so far my engine, once I get it started, has always ran perfect and reliably, depsite the idle being a bit rough some times. Which I would like to...

re; What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? Hello, Here is a simple question. How did you replace the bulb behind the speedometer? Did you pull out the speedometer? I was in there a couple of weeks ago, to replace the fuel gauge, but could not get that bulb out. My fingers were not...

If you can afford it, Just take it to a body shop and have them pull out the dents, and make it look pretty.. LOL... I am sure a good shop has seen this before and knows how to handle this. In some cases you just need to get the work done by a professional, so it is done right. After all...

I personlly will no run the risk of fouling up my engine with no-name generic oil I am happy to pay what I have to for Shell Rotella T. Just my $0.02 cents.

Kaiser, You are welcome... Too bad you were too far, or I could of helped. In any case, I am glad you got it fixed, had a safe trip, and got to see your grandson. The next time you are ever in the Marietta, Ga. area, feel free to contact me. Good day, and good luck with the new truck.

No worries... It is not often that I need open floor space there anyway...

My M1009 has the holes in the floor for the chemical alarm system. So I would like to find everything I need for it, so I could restore my M1009 to as close to original outfitted condition as possible. Twlinks gave me a lead to the alarm itself, but that is all. So I will have to keep...

re; What modifications should I do for my 1009? Do you mean a tether for towing/extraction, etc.? and where do you get one? cost? I am following this thread, and may use some of the advice here to beef up my M1009 too.. Thanks...

StationJJ, Thanks for the mention. So far I just replaced the blower motor switch, but I plan to work on the rest within the next couple of paychecks.. What caused my blower motor to not function was a bad switch, the old switch was burned and melted. Now I get heat when it is on, but not...

Ralbelt, Not needed... I looked more at the TM and saw an image of it. Even the part number. But when I searched for that part number on the OReilly and Napa sites, I got nothing. Any tips on how to find the proper part on there or elsewhere would be appreciated. Next I will check the LMC...
