Well i went at it, tightened a hose clamp that was my first suspect. Regained power steering and brakes. Seem to be about back to normal, ps fluid runs clear at rest while idling, however has slight aeration after running lock to lock. Is this normal, or is it still cleaning out some nooks and...

Bighorn, I shut it down around midnight last night frustrated. Will go out in a bit and see what I can see.

Ok guys, it's 11:30pm here, I've been wrenching since 7 and I have to get to bed for work early tomorrow. I just swapped out my steering gear box in the m1009. Old one had a big dead spot and was getting sketchy on the highway. Went pretty good with what I had to work with, all my good stuff is...

Well... Not today but I decided rather than buy a new daily driver truck I was going to build my m1009 to be my daily driver. Not only that, but drive from nw Iowa to central North Dakota for a hunting trip, in about 40 days (now 16). So far I've replaced all springs, shocks, steering...

Well after some wrench time, my new to me m1009 is nearly up to snuff. New glow plugs, gp relay, gp terminals, belts, some terminal cleaning, dog head mod and resistor bypass. Just missing a starter bracket and it should be good to go! Also installed some Vision X headlights, waiting for the new...
