    New M1009 Owner - My Daughter!

    I've found that the biggest problem in the tire size on the 33's is the width. I am in the process of getting a set of 33x10.50's for my M1009. They will have the extra height I need without the width. We tried a set and they had no problems with clearance. Just a thought. And I made...

    my diesel smells different

    It is still ULSD. The difference between #2 and #1 (or winter blend) is the amount of parafin in it not the sulfur content. This affects the gell point of the fuel and not it's lubricity.

    my diesel smells different

    Off road diesel is nothing more than road diesel with dye added. It would not make sense, money wise, to produce 2 different types of fuel. They may be telling you it is LSD when in fact it is ULSD. Ask you station/supplier that claims it is LSD who their distributor is and contact them...

    Are all 6.2 IDI?

    First off I have to say something to 3dubs. If the question bothers you that much stop reading the thread. As for the original post I would say listen to jwaller. From what I've read and heard he's a wealth of information. I just replaced one of the injectors on my M1009 and it cost me...

    m1009 voltmeter

    I also need a voltmeter for a M1009. Anyone else have one? When the kid at the local electronics store was installing my goodtimes radio he noticed the volmeter bouncing when he was cutting the dask opening. But did he stop and take precautions? No! He just kept going until he vibrated the...

    How much is your Deuce's Insurance

    You guys also need to keep in mind there are other factors that affect costs of policies. Things like the zip code where the vehicle is registered and even your credit history. I'm not sure if the antique insurance is figured the same way.

    Fuel capacity?

    Not completely accurate. Up until 1978 they offered a 20 and 31 gallon tank. After that they offered a 24 and 31. However in the specs for the M1009 they list it as having a 27. And if you look at replacement tanks that are offered they list them as 25 and 31.

    Fuel capacity?

    I was kind of wondering that myself. I was a little under 1/4 tank and filled it. Now if the tank truely is 27 gallons it should have taken over 20 to fill it and it only took 16. That would make it a 20 gallon tank? Hmmmm.......

    Glow plugs cycling after start.

    Thanks for all of the input guys. I know I'm just being a little paranoid, but what the heck. It doesn't hurt to get a couple of other opinions.

    Cheep batteries

    I like the Optima Red top bateries. And right now they have a $25 rebate going on until 9-15-08. They are a little pricey but I feel worth it. The Red top is rated at 1000 CA and 800 CCA and the yellow are rated at 870 CA and 750 CCA. For the first 10 seconds or so they crank like a bigger...

    Glow plugs cycling after start.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I understand that they will cycle on and off a few times when the engine starts. I do this with the manual setup on my other diesels. What worries me is how much the where cycling. They did it for about a minute or more every couple of seconds. That means they...

    Glow plugs cycling after start.

    It began with my M1009 running and starting fine until it got cold out. When the weather turned cool it did not want to start. I noticed that even though I could hear the glow plugs cycle on and off the voltmeter would not move. I checked the glow plugs and found that 7 of the eight were bad...

    Cruising with my youngest.

    Orion, good looking group of kids you got there. Makes me feel a little better with my five! My oldest bugged me until I let him drive it in to town and back to get water. Typical 17 year old, wants to try and take it through one of the sloughs to see if he can make it all of the way. I've...

    Cruising with my youngest.

    I had to do some work around the farm with the Deuce and my youngest had to go along on the ride to town. He loves the way the turbo whistles! :lol: I just thought the picture my wife took was worth sharing.

    Fuel nozzle leak

    The drip is an easy fix. There are 2 o-rings that need replaced. When they get old and hard the pressure from the injector return line is enought to make it drip. One of the other members fixed his and offered to do mine. He said that it takes about 10 minutes once the nozzle is off of the...

    Fuel nozzle leak

    It has pressure comming from the injector return lines. It is enough to make it drip.
