I got all the hub fluid changed. When I removed the dust cover to torq the 3/4 bolt to I noticed the lock washer was laying inside the dust cover they must have said oops we will get next time lol. And one nut didn’t have the tabs bent into the grooves. So now I’ll start cleaning the wheels and...
I got all the fun flats out. 3 out of the 4 had 2 piece run flats big round one and a little on then sits on the other one I can say they were much easier to install than the big one. Time to clean and paint the wheels and reassemble. I’ll keep you updated
Ok thanks for the info. I personally want to keep them in due the fact they were in there for a reason. After getting my butt kicked trying to install one back in a new tire. Started thinking and researching. I do not have a bead setter would have to use ratchet straps or starter fluid. I’ll...
Good evening guys. I’m looking for opinions. I’m replacing the tires. Do I reinstall the run flats or not. Some day they ride better without. But it wouldn’t be original. I’m not really worried about someone shooting my tires but then again with this world who knows. Let me know what you think.
It has a 3 speed transmission . But the tag says 10K Heavy Variant. It does have half shafts. I got all the fluids changed except hubs and coolant. I just found it odd the T-Case took only 2 qts except 3.5. Im assuming im good when it started running back out. Thanks for the help
Well I got all the differential fluid changed new tranny pan filter gasket . Drained the T-Case. The TM says 3.5QT , But it came back out at 2 qt so I’m assuming that’s a typo on the TM. Any I’m getting closer. Next new hub fluid and check the nuts and new tires. Then replace the upper radiator...
Hello everyone. I just changed oil and greased the M1097R. But I have a question I’m sure it was brought up before, But I’m looking through the TM’s and I can’t seem to find the ones for the M1097R, So I have been following the M998 one. My question is I’m getting ready to change the...
Well I replaced the speedometer cable. And I figured out what was wrong with my my temperature gauge wasn’t working. It helps if the wire is connected on the sensor, The boot was cracked. So my wife with little fingers crawled under installed new connector. Gauge works. I take it tomorrow for...
Hey guys what is the proper name for the tool to install the black packard plugs shell connector what ever you want to call them. On our vehicles. I have been using regular wiring crimp tool seems to work. But in tight space it’s a pain. Thank you
Good AM. Update on my 1097. Installed new mirrors hood latch, Vacuumed it out found lots of practice rounds and 1 Beawolf empty casing cool find. I’m waiting for my inspection pump to arrive. And I ordered intake manifold gaskets to come in Autozone keeps canceling my order not sure why. And...

Hello. So I need an Injection pump. I know this isn’t the classified section. But my question is can they be replaced with another one that’s not the same number. For example if it’s DB2-1234 will DB2-4567 work. Reason I’m asking is is the company I’m looking at does not list the one I have...
Hello everyone. I moved from the trucks. To my first M1097. I really like it but got a valve cover leak recently and over night developed a fuel leak. The mechanic who was going to replace my valve cover gasket pointed it out looks like the weep hole. Seems like a common issue so now looking for...
