    3k is a bit heavy for the M1009, IMO, plus its a short wheel base vehicle, stability at that speed may be a concern. the m1009 will have new tires,,right? have him buy you the truck and just follow him to the lake:beer:

    That part is for the glow plugs, it is commonly used as a "starter" solenoid, but is your applicattion is a "glowplug" solenoid. all the tms are in the referance sections and i highly recomend your print out the schmatics and keep them with the truck for referance. Thanks Terry

    Cleaning fuel tanks

    2centsOn the old mustangs we spray air and brake cleaner through them. BUT on these trucks I think it migh be best to just remake them, pinhole leaks can cause all kinds of problems, and the trucks are so big the lines are easy to make. Rust in the lines is from water in the fuel.

The low...
