After you add the extra time for taking out the swollen ones:grin: Good advice, unknown plugs...not even worth while trying to trouble shoot further until you know they came out of a brand new box. My M1031 had massive issues with starting when I first got it. Even with bad plugs, it would...

I registered my M1031 with nothing more than a hand written bill of sale in Maine due to the age of the vehicle. Of course in Maine, you cannot get a vehicle titled older than 1995 so I would only be able to sell it to someone in a state that accepted the official "Maine older than 95' certified...

Doesn't matter how strong your welds are, you are putting all pulling forces through a 2" receiver hitch. Not to mention it sticks out very far adding a lot of leverage for side pulls. Not a good design, should just do a permanent mount. If you look at good winch mounts, it keeps the winch...

I may need one if no one buys my generator setup. I've fumbled around with my governor a few times with a DVOM and know it has power, ground, and an AC voltage coming from the speed sensor spinning up. Trying to commit to selling it (already have a Honda 5000 and 2000 inverter) or dumping money...

Not sure why you specifically need a hitch (maybe for a receiver hitch accessory) but you can buy a combination pintle/ball which is what will find its way onto my M1031 soon.

Anyone looking for a Lima MAC 12kw generator, air compressor, and work light setup? Five hours on the unit, work lights still have original packing in them. Must sell...

Pirate 4x4 in the tech section has a great D60 kingpin replacement writeup. You will also need a big hex key which most places won't carry...FYI!

Good to know, thanks.

I don't think you have to do major surgery to swap input gears. IIRC, you pull the input cover plate which is just a few fasteners and the input gear/bearing comes out. Been awhile since I had one apart. Either way, you should do that anyway and install a new input seal just as preventative...

Dig the stance! How was bleeding the fuel system without a bleeder on the filter assembly?

I have 4" springs with a dropped pitman and I have to trim the draglink joints because my threaded adjuster is at minimum length with the steering wheel still offcenter. I can't go any shorter with this combination, I couldn't imagine how bad it would be with a zero rate up front on top of...

Sweet ride! What is the box down by the saddle tank area on the passenger side? If you have to replace the rear driveshaft and will be getting one made, good opportunity to spend a few bucks and do a fixed yoke conversion on the tcase. Have fun getting it put back together. It isn't too much...

You could run something that large by running rear springs up front with minimal amounts of lift and cutting the sheetmetal under the front turn signal. It would require also trimming the front bumper or installing something custom. You would still need crossover steering and a longer front...

I don't have any pictures but I can tell you that going that tall just to clear tires is going to start costing you a lot of money. Anything past 4 to 6 inches depending on the transmission length tyipcally maxes out the drivelines angle capability and length. Plus you should be getting into...

It was like that when I bought it. I would have preferred the CARC paint scheme but I know that it's camo underneath and the black paint is preserving it.8-)

From what I have read this is a classic throttle shaft o-ring leak. I have the same symptom. I have yet to find a specific procedure to just replacing the o-rings. Something like remove the plenum, pull the IP cover plate, undo a clip, and the shaft slides out. I bought a seal kit off ebay that...

Was the additional 40's front I-beam axle added for stability? Cool rig nevertheless. Save it from the overtaking grass...

Tease!!! When I was shopping for a MV, I was always amazed at how much better the M1031 and M1010 trucks always seemed to be compared to the M1008's. The pickups must have been worked like rented mules compared to the others.

I will agree with that statement as far as being more field serviceable. That is true, no DVOM required. I'm not punishing anyone that hasn't greased a ujoint. A good portion of people on the trail break due to simple maintenance that could have been avoided if a little more attention was paid...

It does but most modern EFI systems will run and go into limp mode with a bad sensor. Some will give it up because the ECM is unsophisticated to pick up on the problem. If carbs are so great, why isn't everyone running them in the offroad motorsports today? At minimum, people are running TBI if...
