Hello Combatmech, Ok, I will re-read the first few.. Thanks for the tip. Have a good day, and come home safe... God bless you... CJ

Hello Guys, I have a M1009 as well. With the same problem (shifting first at about 25-30 mph) So I thought I would ask. What are the normal speeds that the M1009 should shift from first to second to third, etc.. When all is fine, good, normal, and nothing is wrong with the engine or tranny...

Buelligan, Congratulations on getting an M1009.. I have one also, a 1985... Welcome to Steel Soldiers.. I do not live too far from you.. If you need any information, or help, online or in person, please let me know. I would be glad to do what I can to help out a fellow MV owner and Steel...

Hi all, Does that mean I should throw out my nice leather jack with the USA flag sewn onto it? (It was made that way) It cost me a good chunk of change too.. Thanks CJ

Hi guys, Just out of curiousity. Would an artistic nude shot of a nice looking young lady with an MV be acceptable? Photos similar but different to the original posters, but the model is nude. And NOT wrapped in the flag.. Also, if there was a US flag in the photo, it would be displayed...

Hello Combatmech, Thanks for the part info. Got it.. Thank you for your brave serice to our country, it is greatly appreciated. My M1009 runs & drives great, no major issues, so cannot complain. Good night, CJ

Hello Combatmech, Is yours an '85 M1009 too? If so, do you have a part number? for the roof side(shell) seal? And what is RTV? I think I found the right part number in the LMC catalog, but not sure. Thank you CJ

Hello Armada, Duly noted, thank you for the information. Good night, CJ

Hi Guys, I am technically close enough to the Delkwood grill to attend those meetings. I went to the last one in August. So I can go again, it is just a few blocks away from me. But if I volunteer to be the "Steel Soldiers Ambassador" to the GAMVPA, then I would need to be advised on what to...

Hi guys, In my own honest personal opinion. I do NOT think this event was THAT bad... And there is nothing wrong with at least some events being small.. Sometimes crowds can get TOO big... And that causes all sorts of problems... (traffic, security issues, harder to get around,etc..) Also...

You are welcome. I do not worry about it myself. There are worse things to worry about in this country these days anyway. Good day, CJ

Hello Don, You do not need to go that far. Just use a brand new padlock on the chain that is mounted under the driver's seat, wrap it around the steering wheel, than padlock it. Also, as with any vehicle, do not keep any valuables in your M1009. Park it in safe locations.. Keep the windows...

Hi guys, I followed your advice, took the cover off, and looked for any problems, saw none. So I lubed it all up, so it functions freely.. The problem turned out to be the side channels on the passenger side in the removable roof section. The window was catching on the felt/track on the way...

Hi Guys, I just started having a problem I never had before with my M1009. Tonight I was cranking up the tailgate window to lock the it up for the night. After coming back from the MV show in Kennesaw today. When it got most of the way up, the crank stopped, and will not budge at all. I...

Hello GoldComent, The black M1009 blazer in your post is mine. Thank you for taking such a darn good photo of it. I saved it to my computer, for future reference. Have a good night, CJ P.s. Here it is, so you know which one I am talking about.

Hi guys, As I said in an earlier post, come **** or high water me and my M1009 would be there. So today me, my family & my M1009 were there, and we all had a good time. Met some good folks, learned a few things, saw some really nice vehicles, and took a good bit of pictures.. (After all, I...

Hello Zyrtecx, Thank you for the info. I will keep that in mind when I go to the parts store. Hope I end up with a belt that fits. LOL Have a good day, CJ

Zyrtecx, I thought the left alt was the drivers side alt. And that alt is Gen 1. I need the belt for the passenger side alt, gen 2. And the correct belt for that is the 7575? Thank you CJ

Hi guys, This thread has me totally concerned, since I now need to replace my Gen 2 Pass side ALT belt. Which gates # belt should I use? the 7485 or 7483.. This photo shows the gen 2 pass side alt on an M1008, but on my M1009, my pass side ALT looks exactly like the one in this photo. Any...

Hello, I thought any of you with multi-fuel deuces in the Atlanta area should be aware of this.. I saw this post in the free section of Craigslist - Atlanta, Ga 100's of gallons of used motor oil Good night CJ
