Hello Heavysteven, No, that is NOT true, I would like to do it myself. So I can learn to work on my 09 myself. I tried with my tools, but they are in adequate. Plus they are extremely tight and some are in tight spots. I just thought it may be helpful if someone was there while I do it...

Hi guys, I got my M1009 because: To save a piece of military history... and show respect to the troops (when its done...) besides... It has 4 wheel drive. It is tough, strong, and has become reliable enough to not worry about it breaking down. It is cheaper to register every year. It is...

re; CUCV Instrument Cluster Repair Hello Warthog, What is the LMC truck part number for that instrument cluster circuit board.? Thank you, CJ

Tip for restoring power: Go back to using nothing but standard diesel from your local gas station. The 6.2L Diesel was not designed or intended to be run on anything other than that. Good day,

From the way it all looks to me. It does not look like any of it is worth saving, but pour enough money into something, maybe a miracle or two can happen. It is sad to see that all those vehicles have rotted away in those woods though. What a shame.

Hello Specialist, You are welcome, I am glad it means alot, the service to our country all of you troops do, means alot to all of us. Thank you for reminding me that at least I tried, I was disqualified due to a... "hereditary skeletal defect", that apparently I inherited from my father...

re; Atlanta, Ga area request Thanks for the tip. When I am ready to put the shocks on, I will do it that way. But in the tight spot between the frame and body, to get at the top bolts on the rears, did you use a ratchet or open end box wrench? and did you use the same wrench for the top...

re; Atlanta, Ga area request Thanks for the information, I only ask basic questions, because it has been a very long time since I have done any serious auto mechanic work. I have some ratchets, and sockets, but when I got my skinny a$$ under my truck this weekend, my largest socket would...

Patracy, No worries, it is okay, I understand and know it was not your doing and beyond your control. So no hard feelings and no apologies needed. After all, you did not do it, that bunch of (expletive deleted) "anonymous" did it.

Kassim, Thanks for the advice, I will duly consider it. But I have never touched a welding rig, so unless I get some professional instruction, I would rather not try it. So I will go with a breaker bar, hand ratchets, sockets, and PB blaster. Good night,

Hi guys, Thanks for the tips, on the pipe in picture three, how long should the pipe be? I will try to get a pipe for a breaker bar, or look at one at autozone. Also, if I chose to heat those nuts, what do I use to heat them? I would rather not be blowing flames around the fuel tank...

Hi Guys, Okay, I have had the nuts on the shocks soaking in PB blaster since yesterday. I am going to try to tackle the issue today.. (keyword is try..) But is there any way, to get at that Drivers & passenger side rear shock absorber nuts, WITHOUT having to cut them off? Because of the...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the tips, I will look into borrowing a breaker bar and getting some PB blaster, at the parts store I got the shocks at. I do NOT want to use heat though, at least on the rears, since the gas tank is right there. I would like to live thru this experience, LOL.. If I...

Carpenter, Oh!! Okay, I got ya.. I will see what I can do, when I get it done. I read the TM on the process, and it is simple enough. The TM says to remove the old nuts and bolts, then the old shock, then install the new shock with new nuts and bolts. Nothing to complicated. The most...
