Good evening,
I'm not in the habit of doing this often and rarely go off road anymore, but could anyone help this.
Over the years I've noticed that when under load my m1009 sometimes feels like it just stalls out and wont put power to the wheels.
Most recently I felt like just popping over a...
I don't have measurements, but anyone know if I'll have issues with tongue/hitch height hauling around a basic 8x10 or 4x6 utility trailer (generally with 13inch wheels)?
I've installed a ball/Pintle hitch combo on the bumper of my m1009 and want to get a small trailer for my riding mower and...
Years back I did the dog head mod. I had had a run on starter and melted the fusible link going down to the starter solenoid.
I replaced the damaged wiring and installed an inline 30amp fuse in place of the fusible link that had been there from the factory. Every six months or so that 30amp...
As has been the case for many others, the area on the fuse block around the headlight fuse has melted and the fuse no longer stays secure enough to keep the lights on steadily.
I remembered I've got the LMC truck headlight harness laying around and will be installing it tomorrow. I've read...
So I'm sitting here, trying to leave work. M1009 won't start.
No crank no catch. Just a nice click from the doghead relay. Also, the gen2 dummy light isn't glowing. No tools no flashlight. Probably tow it home and go from there.
oddly enough just had the front battery out on a trickle charger...
Seems to be a fair amount of info out there regarding chains for the 5 tons and dueces. Thoughts/experiences on an m1009?
I love my all terrain's and they are best for me and the limited mud driving I do. There has been two experiences in nasty wet grass that turns to red clay slush once you...
I've begun to realize that the holes in the body of my m1009, where the antenna mounts were torn off, may have become a breeding ground for inner panel rusting. Before I weld up the holes, is there any product someone has had good experiences with and would recommend to spray inside, through the...
A friend of mine works retail and the electronic shopping cart pusher they use died and has been replaced.
Anyways the old pusher was free to a good home so I snatched it up. Turns out they had just installed new batteries in it last month.
I'm thinking solargizer and a nice auxiliary battery...
Anyone have any experience with the universal 3 point seat belts on ebay? The factory belts in my M1009 have not retraced since I've owned it and took them apart to clean and check the operation and one is beyond repair. I'm trying to avoid spending the hundred dollars a piece lmc truck sells...
Stripped, prepped and coated the interior of my m1009 with Al's liner HNR and a top coat of Al's Liner. I did the cab and bedsides with a custom green color and the rear bed and wheel humps as well as the door panels in black. For the green I went to Sherwin Williams and picked out an olive drab...
After a great summer with the top of its about time to reinstall it. I read on here once, but can't seem to find the thread, about the various roofing caulks and or types of sealant used when you re install your top. Some sort of asphalt or butyl based product that never fully hardens. What do...
Is it just me, or can the TM's be a bit of a pain when it comes to finding part #'s? Yes, often times the best and most accurate way, especially when it comes to the little things, is to look at a diagram. But I was thinking how awfully convenient it would be if someone where to categorically...
"GL will only load a Flat Bed Trailer" is the last line in the description section of a m101a2. Does this mean that's the only way they will let it be removed? Or simply they will load it for you if you'd like?
Sprang a leak from the water pump. After inspecting I could see some wobble in the pump pulley. There is a solid 1/8 to 1/4 inch of play when I pull and push the fan front and back. Replaced several water pumps in other cars but never noticed play in the shaft like this. Is this just a symptom...
Pulled the M1009 in the shop to load up some things. Went to start it up to pull out. Nothing but a click from the relay. Happened to have a spare starter relay in the glove box. Popped it in. Nothing.
Inspected wiring and found a wire on the power block nearly totally frayed. Patched the wire...
It seems to me that there is no conclusive "hit or fit" guide out there for those of us with the 1009. I've seen everything from 33x10.50's (what I run) to 33x12.50's, even the occasional 35x12.50 fiting on a totally stock suspension. I suppose it all depends on how tired and saggy your springs...

Sucked out the trans fluid in the M1009 using my mityvac fluid evacuator. Ended up pulling out about 4.5 quarts.
Had the 6.2 stall on me today. First time it has ever done this. Totally random.
Was cruising on the highway at around 70mph. No problem. Go to take my exit. About a quarter of the way into the off ramp while applying the brakes and making a banking right turn I noticed the power steering cut...
I was browsing ntwonline.com and I came across their "house" brand lift system. Guess they call it Suspension Specials. Pretty cheap.
Wondering if anyone has experience with this kit.
I spoke to ntwonline's tech support guys and they said it uses superlift brand springs...
