On the old M1009 I had, all the rivnuts were loose (antenna and mirror). I just paid a shop $20 to tack weld the nuts in place and then I painted them again and sealed them with clear silicon. Worked for me.

If you can, get the old heater re-cored (rebuilt) at a radiator shop. That seams to be the best route these days. Can you send a link to the matt clear you used? I am in "eastern Europe" right now and thinking of picking up some to give it a try.

Looks like they are the same thing, just advertised differently.

Looks like a good time had by all!

Well those are certainly a departure from spec, but they look really comfortable !!! Before you put them in, add seat heaters. You'll never look back !!

No expert.....by any stretch, but the loss of power, to me, sound like an IP issue.

I had this same issue with my trans. You may find this thread helpful: https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/trans-shift-points.208399/#post-2430571

OK, last update on this. I dosed her good with HOWES Meaner Cleaner and Standyne a few days ago. She was still stumbling and stalling upon lifting off the throttle. I needed to pick up a large package, so I took the truck for a three hour drive (1.5 each way). At the start, when I fired her...

I didn't convert to a spin-on until my original filter block started leaking. I did keep the original block and will, at some point, refurb it. I used a simple spin-on head (no heater or water separator) sold by Gimmpyrob, as he had a great deal on a kit with enough filters to last me for...

Would have loved to see some in progress pics. I may have to tackle that valve myself. Was the job fairly easy and straight forward?

Lots of wire wheels and elbow grease, sanding discs will just clog. There may be some chemicals you could use, but in your neck of the woods they may not be available. Let us know what seats you are looking to swap in.

What did you use for exterior paint?

Wow, talk about going from flat to fluffy ! Looking good, can't wait for the rest of it.

Nice! Sounds like she is running fine !!

Just FYSA, I had the same issue and it turned out to be a bad bulb socket. I cleaned it and did some "tightening" up of the socket and all was right with the world once again.

Post a "She's Alive" video !!

The air around you contains all sorts of crap you breath in every day, it's the "Parts Per Million" you have to be concerned about. I am thinking that once the bedliner stuff dries, since it is impermeable, it should not be "off-gassing" any critical chemicals in any significant levels to be of...

Dosed it with HOWES Meaner Cleaner and some Standyne. If that doesn't clean everything up, I'll reorder the DMIAB. I actually did check the fast idle connection (actually all IP connections) this afternoon and everything was clean, cleaned again and nice and tight.

Looks like the old carpet underlayment backing. Scrape it up, as it will hold moisture and cause more rust.

My 1009 has a bedliner interior. I like it.
