My 1986 M1009 has a light whining noise when going down the road (not a dry road, I only use 4 wheel on slick roads) in 4 wheel drive. The 4 wheel drive works great, all u-joints are good, no leaks on front differential or transfercase. All fluids are full (in transfercase, transmission, &...
What actually makes a M1009 a 3/4 ton? They just have standard corp. axles that are used on 1/2 tons. Did they add extra springs to call it a 3/4 ton instead of a 1/2 ton?
Thanks
Has anybody used 16" wheels on a M1009? I have a set of factory 16" wheels off a 1988 K1500 chevy pickup that I used to have. Will these wheels and tires work? They are 6 lug.
Thanks
The inlet rubber preformed fuel hose (part # 14063391) is leaking. This is the hose that goes on the lift pump. NOBODY can get me this hose. GM says it is obsolete and all parts stores can't get it. Has anybody replaced this hose with something else?
Thanks
It looks my my fuel lift pump is leaking. It is very close to the crossmember. Is it replacable without removing the right side motor mount or jacking up the engine. Would it be better to install a electric pump and by-pass the mechanical one?
Do these pumps ever leak externally at the middle...
I was wondering how the STE ICE unit works for my 1986 M1009. The engine does not have a ECM on it, is the STE ICE plug just for testing the individual sensors(oil pressure, water temp) and others, or does this plug connect to other things that I don't realize?
My 1986 M1009 odometer has 7 digits ( 6 and a 1/10th)
All other M1009's that I have seen only has 6 digits. Was my odometer/speedometer replaced before I bought it from the military, or did some of them have 7 digits?
Thanks
My 1986 M1009 shifts real hard from 1st to 2nd when it is warmed up. It shifts smooth from 1st to 2nd when it is cold. It always shifts from 1st to 2nd about 25-30mph warm or cold and 45mph from 2nd to 3rd. I already changed my vacuum lines. Why does it shift smooth when it is cold - and...
