my windshield washer pump is not working and it is one of the reasons why my m1009 failed inspection, where can i get a cheaper pump than on lmc? what is the part number because i can't find any. my e-brake is also sticking bad, i can engage the e-brake but when i hit the release the e-brake is still partially engaged and i can't coast in idle and i have to wiggle the cable going to the driver side rear wheel from the front. any ideas on what it is? i am also looking for a front bumper and grill guard and 3 tow rings, also the pintle hitch. one more problem i am having is the rear axle doesn't have posi, it's a 1 tire fire, could it be something to do with the lockers or possible that it's not the original rear axle? i have enough money to fix everything myself and buy whatever i need but at the same time i want to make it a little cheaper by doing it myself and buying cheaper parts that aren't very important but good enough to last a little while.

HI the pump is easy to find at most parts stores or salvage yards can get a kit to rebuild it too,the e brake may just need to clean the hardware in rear drums and lube it and cables.
The axle could be bad lockup parts just check inside and see most parts are easy to get for it too.

It takes about one and a half turns of a slipping tire for the gov lock to engage under power. It acts like a open diff till it locks.

Update. I did have issues with my rear axle not locking up this past weekend off-road. I think I used the wrong gear oil which will cause it not to work properly

Update. 4/12/14. So gov bomb is crap. Do not high rev with a tire in the air and it not locked. If you do and it locks while spinning, you'll have problems getting your rig out with the axle coming out of the tube.
