Yes you can you will shift early but nothing harmful. The last half my post shows how i did it lhttp://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/44086-need-some-advice.html

About 87,000 according to my odometer. What is the best way to know if the breaks are wore out?? What is the correct brake shoes size, and search only got me more confused?

According to the odometer i have 86,800 or something. Ok so no driving for awhile. So junk yard for new piston rod, then new shoes, wheel cylinder, hardware.... Am i missing anything?

Thank you for the pic and conformation, thats what i thought it was after looking at the TM. Now can i drive with out it for any period of time?

Here are some better pictures

Well Gentlemen i found the problem There was a bolt in the bottom of my driver side drum, i just need to find out what it is Any ideas??? The only noticeable thing that i though it could be is it looks like there was a bolt in one of the holes in the upper left side of the picture. But i...

My M1009 is the Green Diesel :driver:

Crash_AF- Thanks im going to be tearing in to the axle tomorrow, and depending on what i find i might just have to buy that axle thanks for pointing it out to me.

Thanks For all the advice. Yes it is really noticeable with careful driving. I think that i will change/check oil, and wash/remove the drums a hope that is my problem. But on the plus side Saturday Cal Maritime Rugby Beat Fresno State 77-5. I had to add this because i wasn't able to work on...

Well i started my m1009 for the first time in a week drove it around a little and noticed a slight grinding noise in the rear. Well i figured it was just something rattling around back there, so i dismissed it. Later i when to a little mud hole in front of my school. after stopping a disengaging...

Well My m1009 out of Barstow, came with 1 plastic jerry can w/diesel, 2 12 ton bottle jacks, 1 5 ton bottle jack, 2 wheel chocks, spare tire, some rust, DUST DUST AND MORE DUST. After checking various filters discovered that she had a full service change in 07. And she started right after...

I know mean to thread steal, but what do you have on your 1009, Lift/tires? :drool:

No im not mistaking the blackout light, the horn is on the driver side behind the grill. Thanks for all the responses. I think ill try the contact cleaner and see what happens

I know that i have a horn next to the light of the drivers side head light, but it doesn't work. Would it be worth the time to try and re-wire/connect the horn? Has anybody done this? This was just an idea that hit me while thinking about making my glow plug manually operated.

Yep it was a high lift mounted on blocks that got me high enough to get the motorcycle ramps under the tires.

And when i get to the winch hopefully sometime this summer i will get a 10000lb just to be safe

I agree Ya my buddy kept trying to get me to buy one but i got my 1009 instead And thank for the offers on the tow ropes i would like to take you up on that but i spent all my money on the tires

Ya its the clay is slicked up my tires and no traction, but i did tweak the front axle when getting pulled out and the pass side is about 1 inch back. After investigation i think that my leaf spring shifted and bent the center pin. So i have to wait till i get a lift with new springs.

a little over 900, will look great once i get a 4inch lift on her

Had to post. Well last weeknd when out to Folsom lake and did a little 4x4 just to see how she a handled. Go through almost everything, until i got cocky. And my buddy's who were in little Samurai's when through a slightly wet spot and i stepped on it to follow him, NOT A GOOD IDEA. Well...
