    Starter will not disengage

    Thanks Chuck, I'm not able to get on here as often as I want so I get behind on some of the threads. How's the 151 project coming along? Glad you got it fixed Camdensc.

    Starter will not disengage

    Make sure the tranny fluid is up too. Not enough and it won't work. Also after sitting for long periods, especially an older worn trans, the fluid will drain down out of the passages, valve body, etc., and it could take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute for the trans to become...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    Very interested in the difference the turbo makes. I'm guessing to optimize performance and to prevent damage, the injection pump and or timing will need to be adjusted with the turbo added? Are you putting in a probe for egt's?

    Parts Needed

    This is to all you guys with parts cucv's out there. I'm in need of a few parts for an M1008, but some parts cross over to the M1009 as well. The first thing I'm looking for is the interior rear view mirror. I also need the metal mount for the mirror that attaches to the glass. The second...

    New M35 Vinyl Cab Covers Khaki

    Tactical6, a few days in the warm sun will get rid of the wrinkles and it will take a 'set' to your cab. Of course, being in Ohio you might have to wait until MAY..... lol You can also adjust the bungee cord to get a tighter fit in the back. The tan top looks good on a green truck.

    New M35 Vinyl Cab Covers Khaki

    Top Ho... lol My order was delivered today. They are not GMA covers. They are insulated. Visually inspected they appear to be okay. I need to compare them to my mil top on the 818. Too much snow and cold here to go out and see how they fit. Even if they end up not fitting perfectly it's still...

    New from Michigan

    Welcome dunedigger. I'm originally from Owosso and I usually go out there on the weekends to see my folks. My brother, Pappa-G on this site, lives out there too. Another brother, not a member here, drives his M1009 everyday to work in Owosso. So if you see any mv's running around the Owosso area...

    rear tailgate window problems

    Nice write-up, KD. Ditto on the clutch. The window handle should never be forced. If it's hard to turn or suddenly gets tough to turn don't force it, it will only cause more damage. The M1009 rear gate windows need an annual PM to keep them operating smoothly and correctly. Most never get that.
