    Dome light

    I'm going to add the factory dome light to my M1009. Does anyone know if the wiring harness is there in the roof or do I need to source one of those as well? Thanks.

    Heater blower motor resistor question

    My fan only works in the high position, so I was told it had to be the resistor. I took it out and it was corroded badly but not broken so I cleaned it up and checked continuity. It tested good between all poles so I put it back in. Still no joy. Then looking at the plug I noticed I'm...

    Fusible link question

    I'm trying to chase down a gremlin and haven't repaired a fusible link before. How do the plastic covers at the junction open? My eyes aren't what they used to be. Thanks.

    Odd GEN 2 light problem

    I've done a few searches for problems related to the Gen lights but haven't found a thread with anyone having a similar problem. Nor have I found a fix in the TM's. Mine is dim when starting. It doesn't come on as bright as the GEN 1 or oil pressure light. It doesn't come on while I'm...

    Appear to have lost all 12v

    I've been working on getting a lift installed and made a test drive and noticed the blinkers weren't blinking on the dash when I engaged them. Turns out I've lost dash lights, brake lights, turn signals, headlights, etc. I'll be outside under the hood today, curious if anyone else has had the...

    Vent window latches

    Does anyone know a source for the black ones? I'm missing one and the other is loose. I've seen the chrome ones in LMC but want to use the black ones if they are available new anywhere.

    3-gauge panel

    I saw this and thought of using it. Not sure if I will but thought I'd link it here. Better than idiot lights and looks better than the typical open-back 3-gauge panels. Summit Racing SUM-800111 - Summit Racing® Analog Mini-Gauge Panels - Overview - SummitRacing.com

    Swapping rear springs out for new 1/2 ton springs

    I'm going to rebuild the front end on my M1009 and install an ebay 3" 3/4 ton lift - spring front and block rear + new shocks all around. The 3/4 ton springs on front will be fine but for ride comfort I want new rear 1/2 ton springs. Has anyone tried it? I did the same on my civvy 79 2wd...

    Another option for mounting the tag...

    This comes up often enough I thought I'd show where I mounted mine. I do not plan on using the pintle hitch and want a regular receiver hitch on, so this was the ticket for me. The upper tag bolts have the built in LED lights, I think I paid $9 for them on ebay. The tag bracket is a cheap chrome...

    Heater question

    I need to change out or maybe just clean the contacts on my heater/fan controls - as it is, the fan only works in the High position. Anyway, I do have limited but operative heat now. But running on High, it does not get to "run you out of there" heat. It does get comfortable, but Alabama...

    The rear plug by the pintle hitch

    What is it for? It looks like it has a quick disconnect just behind the bumper. I want to remove it and the pintle to make room for my tag, but I'd like to know what it is first.

    Starter parts question

    Mine was screeching pretty badly when I got it home. Turned out one of the rear starter bolts was snapped off in the block. An EZ-out removed the broken bolt out of the block and was replaced with a new one. During the fix, the front center nose bolt had to be removed and it snapped off...

    Bringing my M1009 home

    I got pretty lucky with my EUC paperwork, the invoice came back in 14 days. Not too shabby, I was thinking I wouldn't see the truck until January or so. This is one I bought at the Camp Shelby, MS auction and was listed as 'does not run'. I checked online and I can get a tandem axle car...

    Scored an M1009 today, now for the wait...

    The paperwork wait is a blessing, gives me time to wait for a good opportunity to tell wifey. Faded, but straight and looks complete, and the price was good. Odo shows 88K.

    New guy in AL

    I have the sudden inexplicable urge to buy an M1009. I know where these urges usually lead, so I'm trying to learn all I can about them. I've had a few civilian 4x4 Blazers in the past and currently have a 2wd Blazer, but now this camo'd oil-burner is calling to me. I'm 41 years old, so I've...
