Dear Energy Suspension : How do I install rear shackle bushings with only 3 bushings? Please forgive my ignorance. It may be simple but I understand I am a simple man.

Lug nuts? Are 1/2” x 20 on the 4x4 1/2 ton models M1009 I could be wrong they may be 7/16” fine thread studs.

I keep thinking about this and I would think it is time to do a body divorce from the frame and do it right. I lifted that body off washed and painted everything. That was 18 years ago. I am guilty of being the one that drove that vehicle thru all the bad weather and salt. It seems like we have...

I have been using the mower. And yes, I like it. It is not a Honda, but it will do the job. The controls are not as comfortable to the hands as the Honda. After 40 years of using the same mower, I guess it will take time to adjust. Next year I am buying a remote mower and putting lawn mowing in...

It looks good to me. Should last the remainder of it’s life,

I was getting the fuel tank ready to reinstall and used some OD Green nylon strapping as my isolator. I think it holds up better than tat paper and looks good. I used adhesive to hold it down to the tank and the metal straps. I see no problems. I removed the tank and it was wrapped in tar paper...

I love the smell of paint in the morning.

Get a complete wiring harness from a donor CUCV. the M1008 and M1009 are the same.

Balance is my main concern when mixing power plants in vehicles. I had a 1974 Dodge W200 with a 318. I bought a wrecked 1979 Dodge St Regis at the PA State Police auction. The wrecked car had a 360 with 23K on it and ran and drove. It was wrecked hard on the right side. It stole the car at the...

Some things are best left to professionals. I have more on my plate than 2 people should have. I have several tool boxes full of tools and one of them is my wallet. I use what ever tool does the job correctly and others I hire out. $ is often wisely spent and eliminates ? In many cases. There...

I spent the last 3 hours pressure washing until I am soaked and the M1009 is about as clean as I can get it with a pressure washer. I have seen better M1009”s but this one is a lot better then most I seen . I will apply some Rus fre coating on the underside or some water based coating. More than...
