WOOZIES!
About four seasons back we got AT LEAST one foot of snow every week for NINE WEEKS RUNNING.
You guys have had a bundle of snow. But really, this IS an abnormality for you folks, right?
SO, be glad you got moisture, in any form. WE KILL FOR WATER OUT HERE in the Rocky Mtns.
Leaking air is probably occurring at the fuel filter on the passenger side fire wall.
You will have to replace the backing bracket that HOLDS the fuel filter.
OR chase the fuel line back from the filter. At some point you WILL FIND a hole in the fuel line from the fuel tank to the fuel...
Got two M1009's. I had an M1031. Sold it and bought a great M1028A2. Next up will be an M1010. Then eventually an M1008 and the M1031 again.
Preston, to answer your question as to how? MONEY. And time. Though I have little of the former, I have loads of the latter. So I wait and watch...
because of my MV ownership, I got to give my 86 year old WWII veteran father his first veteran days parade last year - best gift I've ever given my dad
PLUS the more expensive the vehicle, the more engaged in their phone conversation, the more I enjoy 'holding my spot' in traffic and NOT let...
I ONLY own green iron. The wife has a Subaru that we bought her new. Six years ago. She's the only one who drives it.
So it IS all about what you want the vehicle to do.
And I'm sorry, I don't care WHAT vehicle we are talking about, YEAH, even CIVI vehicles...
If it's OVER 25 years old or...
I've OWNED both.
Loved my Deuce. It WAS my daily driver. It WAS my vehicle of choice. BUT IT REQUIRED SOLDIER B WAY TOO MUCH for maintenance. I do MOST of my own work. So constantly NEEDING an extra set of hands just to get a task done was a pain.
After I sold the deuce, I bought my...
Unless I'm mistaken, the M1009 does NOT have a tranny to transfer case tie bar. My M1028A2 has one, but it is one of the CUCV's with the NP205. I don't think the NP208 transfer case has the tie bar due to the fact that the NP208 transfer case is made of aluminum and a very light case, compared...
OK KIDDIES, I have ADDED a 6 psi electric fuel pump I put up under the passenger side frame rail. I connected it to come on once the ignition is turned on.
THEN, my modified bleeding instructions.
Open the bleeder valve on top of the fuel filter. Turn on the ignition - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO...
the M1028A2 is the dually with the NP205 and the M1028A3 is the dually with the NP208...
I LOVE my A2. I paid about $6k ish to GL. Then had to rebuild the TH400 (LONG STORY) which was a bit more money that I had done (did I mention it was a long story?).
Plus, I replaced the driveshaft with...
I purchase one K&N air filter for every vehicle we own. I buy it ONCE. My wife's car we bought new about six years ago. It is still running it's K&N we bought back then.
Same for my three CUCV's. I also have an air filter housing mod that with the K&N air filter, you WILL get a lot more...
seabee mike,
If you need it, I have a spare top. I'm in Denver, if you ever want it, let me know. FREE TO GOOD HOME. Doesn't have any glass or rubber, but no cracks... I came off a civi Blazer.
drop me a PM if you ever need it.
Yeah, I've paid about $300 ish each to have two of mine rebuilt. Both were wrong. One was too high, the other was too low. NOW they are dead bang on.
My third one is going to be replaced with a rebuilt older one. The one on mine now is a post-91 speedo with six digits, which is incorrect...
OK, I just GOTTA post this one.
It's the 1984 M1010 Ambulance that sold 5/27/2010 for $12,290.
IT HAD 73 MILES ON IT.
So I just gotta say, they ARE still out there. And every once and a while us mere mortals get a shot at one.

when you repaint it, pick either the solid green (CARC) or the tan. My wife loves my M1028A2 dually BECAUSE it's straight green, not three color camo. I thought about painting one of my Blazers tan, but she said if I had to paint it, why not just repaint it back to CARC green (she didn't use...
Have you talked to the folks at Boyce? They might have one. It won't be cheap, but it will be the correct part.

I have towed my M1009, but with my M1028a2 dually and the correct tow bar. 500 miles. ALL FLAT. From Ft. Riley to Denver.
You made the correct choice. The other possibilities are all BAD. USE the trailer. GO SLOW. You will be very happy you did.
MY STUBBORN OIL FILTER REMOVAL TOOL?
Amazon.com: Glock Knife With Fixed Clip Point Blade Md: KB17278.: Sports & Outdoors.
When ever an oil filter gets stuck, I pull that baby out. Stick it straight through AND I PROMISE IT WILL COME RIGHT OFF.
No if's, and's or maybes.
And as has been said...
The more you modify it, the less we can help. Most of us try and return them to original condition because from that spot, we can then find any problems, correct them and move on.
If you keep dabbling in the electrical system, I PROMISE this will get worse.
Ask me WHY.
Yah, we're at about minus fifteen right now. Glad I ran my errands yesterday when it was at least above zero.
Great tip. Guess I'll have to finish my project with the power line I ran out to where I park my trucks. I did this as I was changing locations and the type of material I was parking...
Navy trucks are a deep blue. I've always liked the Navy blue.
I've always wondered what a dark blue with black as a camo pattern would look like. That might be really BAD.
Of course, I've got someone here who photoshopped my deuce as a purple and black. It look odd at first, but it grew on...
