Fellow SS member (and an active duty Marine) was transporting an M1009 through PA when he lost a rear wheel by exit 49A off Rt 78 about 2 hours ago. I don't have more info as of yet, but is there anyone out there close by who may be able to lend a hand tomorrow or has a suggestion of where the...

So, this past Saturday, Feb 4th 2023, it was -10F actual temperature, with the windchill at -31F in my little northeastern corner of CT. I was heading up to NH early in the morning, but I wanted to see if my M1009, after all the work I have done to her, would start in an extremely cold...

Quick Question. When I start my 09 (stock wiring, 24v system intact) my Gen 2 light goes out immediately, but my Gen 1 light stays on for about 15-20 seconds. Once the truck idles for that time, it goes out. Everything seems to be charging well and she has done this since I brought her home 7...

Corny as it may sound, one of the things I am really thankful for is all the good people on this site who help us all when we need it, both in parts and knowledge. Thank you and enjoy today with friends and family !!!!!

It is never ending, isn't it. Oh well, I volunteered for this. Hot or cold, my 09 has now developed a very intermittent stalling issue. It mostly happens when I take my foot off the throttle. I can be backing up when I first start her up, lifting off the throttle to shift into drive and she...

OK, this thread has a little info on the radiator I purchased for my M1009. 4 core, aluminum and about $280...shipped. Oh, it is the only one I found that SHOULD fit in our trucks. So today I finally got around to start disconnecting everything. The leak was coming from the passenger side...

I am unable to crawl around my truck for a few more weeks, but I think I have some oil drips coming from the passenger side of the engine. I think the leak is higher up, near the firewall and engine head area. Any guesses?

I have helped my neighbors out (a young couple, first time home owners) the past two winters, clearing their driveway whenever it snowed. They hadn't gotten around to affording a snow blower yet and I hated to see them shoveling 6-18" of snow each time. Since I have a tractor mounted 48"...

I took my dash apart to clean, repaint, polish, lube and relamp with LED's. I am putting it back together and I just wondered if there was any lube required for the speedo cable. I am lubing up all cables and slide pieces under the dash (where needed) and thought I'd ask before proceeding further.

I am working on the underside of my truck. When able, I will be replacing the rear seal on the trans. I'll need to remove the rear driveshaft in order for this to happen and while I am at it, I was going to replace the U-joints (Spicer 5-1350X). I have viewed a few videos and thought I would...

OK, I am trying to fix all leaks and drips coing from my truck. My driveway doesn't like it and neither does the wife. I am addressing two so far and while a friend of mine was checking out the underneath of my 09, he noticed a leak from this area: It is the shift arm for the trans and I...

Finally was able to get in a car and take a ride for longer than 15 minutes (recent major back surgery). Wife drove us up to NH to see one of our boys on Friday. When we left CT, diesel was $5.19 per. Drove back on Saturday. Got off our exit and, at the same gas stations, the price per had...

Maybe this would make a good "Sticky" and maybe not. I looked (as best as my skills allow) and I didn't find a comprehensive list for what light bulbs go where in our trucks. Also, when converting to LED, what bulbs must remain incandescent, in order to maintain proper operation of certain...

OK, I replaced my vacuum pump and vacuum hoses the other day. Before I did this, my trans shift at 17mph (1st to 2nd) and 32mph (2nd to 3rd). After installing the new vacuum head, shift point are 30mph (1st to 2nd) and I have gotten up to 45+mph and she won't shift into 3rd. I have moved the...

After several recommendations, I got a new vacuum pump from Amazon - (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001PHKH4...t_i_T17VX5ET8ZYD1YFNVCW1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1). Same exact pump head, but different drive mechanism. Here is the issue (or maybe not). My current pump head has only two bolts holding...

I am taking a shot here. I live in the Northeastern corner of CT. I have a leaking rear main seal and a leaking rear trans or transfer case seal. I was going to try and do it myself, but I am having some major back surgery on the 25th and the pre-op crap (and having to drive an hour for each...

Below is a picture of the tail of the transfer case in my 1009, driveshaft yoke seal. It is leaking a pretty good amount of fluid and needs to be changed. I have two questions please. First, what is the correct part number of the seal assembly?? Two, can it be removed and the new one...

OK, I am looking to get a new exhaust system for my 1009. I am looking for a manifold back complete exhaust system. I have seen a lot on the net, just wanted to see if anyone has a recommendations and experience as to which direction to go in. I am not going stainless, as it is not in my...

So, I drove my truck back from PA (a 6 hour drive) a few weeks ago and have been using the truck every few days after that. Everything seemed to be running as it should. Even a few days ago, when the temps dropped into the 20's, she fired right up on the first crank. Over the weekend I gave...

LOL!! OK, when I take a sharp curve or make a turn onto another road or into a driveway, I get a fairly loud bang coming from the rear area of my M1009. Doesn't matter which way I turn, left or right. I jacked it up and checked underneath to see if anything was broken or loose or out of...
