Well Mike, the only reason I beat you to the punch, is that mine was fully installed when I got the truck!

Here's what it looks like installed... under the hood (note, battery box covers are not installed in this pic)...

Thanks for the reply Mike. I had a feeling it might be okay, as the lights sometimes don't go out after startup until I raise the rpms a little... so I was hoping it was a similar type deal. Thanks again!

Greetings All, Perhaps some of you knowledgable types could shed some light on this for me. Last weekend, I was driving my M1009 home from a meet. Everything was working perfectly. Lights on at startup, proper glow plug cycling, etc, etc. No problems. I drove it home on the freeway for...

RE: Re: RE: New member/1009 owner! Tranny problem/random que Hey Michah, Those doors in the cab are just your cab fresh air vents. Once summer gets here, you'll be glad you have them. Check those transmission vacuum lines!

Well, make sure you grease the new bearings too... :D From your post it sounded like you were just going to replace the bearings rather than grease them.... Yeah, I know... nobody likes a smart @$$

Well Dan, you asked for it... :D I would really like to see plates made for the IHC M-3-4. I will be hitting you up for them eventually, as some of mine were missing, and the rest were rusted over. But on the rusted ones you can just make out some of the markings still. But my VIN plate...

Hey Rod, I was missing a couple bolts on my CUCV bumper, and found replacements at my local NAPA. I just took one off the truck and brought it with me for a reference, They matched it up no problem. They only had bolts with chrome caps, but I just pryed the caps off, hit the heads with a...

When I bought my M1009, I registered it in CA with no problems (had the SF97, VIN verification from law enforcement, and all the paperwork was in order) and then called my insurance agent (State Farm). They took down my VIN number and other relevant info, didn't even ask me about it and said I...

Yup, Dave is a first class guy to deal with. My folks live down there (Apple Valley) and I always visit Dave for a few goodies whenever I'm down there. He does indeed usually go to the Spring Tower Park meet, and if you call him ahead of time, he'll bring parts for you to the meet and save...

My M1009 came from Alaska, and it did have undercoating.... that was then covered with the most incredible dirt I've ever encountered. I hit it with my pressure washer, and the dirt just laughed at me. But the only rust on the whole truck is a small circle about the size of a quarter on the...

Ah ha! So I'm not going crazy after all... well... :) Thanks for the tip... I still need a jack crank handle and a lug wrench... anyone? anyone? Bueller?

Well, yes and no. It's been cut right in front of the seat mounts. so the mat is still under the seat.

Hi All, I finally rounded up the factory jack for my M1009, and was all excited to get it installed. i have the mounting bolt in place, as well as the hold down bracket and the wing nut. I also have the decal in the truck with the stowage instructions, as well as the operators manual. I have...

Hi Randy, First and foremost, I don't have any first hand experience with these little senders, and so I'm only repeating what others have relayed in their experiences... so take all this for what it's worth. Here's how it was explained to me: The fuel pressure switch exists purely for the...

Here's what I read in a thread elsewhere about this very subject once upon a time: You will have to lengthen the wires for the turn signals, change the conection for the brake lights and the harness won't have a hook up for the electric fuel pump, but you might be able to use the electric...

At a recent event I attended, there were a couple of HMMWVs on display. Both were quite obviously fresh out of rebuild with perfect paint, tires, interior, etc. But most noteworthy was this little mod that I saw on the parking brake lever. It looks like it's a safety stop to prevent bumping...

Get a new wheel from Walker. Then take the old wheel, pull the tire off, weld a length of scrap tube to the mount flange, put it in the ground, and you got yourself a decorative garden hose caddy! :lol:

Well, I have seen more than a few bobtail cargo trucks (civi) around here equipped with lift gates that fold straight up against the back of the truck. They raise to the up position, then with a release of a locking mechanism, they hinge up to the vertical for stowage. Maybe something like...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Gasser Hey Graham, Any chance the plastic covers on the front seat belts are usable? I'm referring to the plastic sleeve that holds the belt up off the floor between the front seats. I'm missing both of those. Got a tire iron? Let me know. Thanks!
