    LMC Exhaust System

    Will this exhaust system bolt into a 84 M1009? I know it doesn't call out the 6.2 but the angles look right. Just looking for advice. LMC Truck Parts - Page 109 Thanks for looking and leaving info.

    Vacuum pump "bounce"?

    Anyone have a source for these pumps? I think mine is on the way out, and need a new or good used one. Thanks in advance.

    1009 absolutely HOWLS when it's cold!

    Can't believe 8 year old belts of any brand were still in service...I'd say that's pretty good regardless of brand!

    Electro-Tech, string in grill?

    I think the string used to keep a cap for that cylinder thing captive. Its a jump start cable connection.

    Shifting poorly and bad shudder

    All that "old crud" flushed out by new fluid is friction material from old discs. New fluid has very high detergeant content and will clean your clutch packs of stuff that should be there. Creates slipping, which creates heat, which is the number one tranny killer in the world. And regardless of...

    TH400 Rebuild complete. No reverse...

    OK. Got it all torn down (AGAIN) all the way to the rear band. Its WIPED. Parts on order, thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it. Should I worry about the hard parts? They all look pretty good with minimum galling and no discoloration...

    TH400 Rebuild complete. No reverse...

    Will drive tomorrow and get back to you. Used original band. It was not flaky, pitted or chunked. No discoloration. Got both sealing rings on inter apply piston, real PITA. Used feeler gauge to seat seals. BUT, no, reverse slipped really bad before, hence the rebuild attempt. Thanks again.

    TH400 Rebuild complete. No reverse...

    Haven't driven it fast enough (stayed in neighborhood) to get third. First is great...noticed when assembling that plastic piston has a small gouge in it, although the flat ring on it is unmolested... I didn't pull apart anything deeper than the intermediate clutch piston. How do you keep the...

    TH400 Rebuild complete. No reverse...

    Just finished complete rebuild of 1009 tranny. Went to test and, no reverse. Doesn't even feel like it is picking up the clutches. REALLY hate to pull this thing again...Do the experts have experience in something simple to check? BTW, forward works great, stronger than when I got the truck. The...

    M1009 Tranny auto downshift help

    OK, guys. After much searching and researching I have decided to start a post. My TH400 in my 1009 will not downshift at stops. Upshift works, kickdown works. If I stop at an intersection in 3rd, it tries to start in 3rd, but there are 2 distinct thumps as it down shifts to 1st (near WOT). If I...

    lack of power

    Its on top/front of IP, has a rubber hose connected that points forward and goes down to a steel line.

    lack of power

    Check to see if the fuel return nozzle on front of IP is clogged. Mine does it occassionally. Simple to remove with pliers (for clamp) and 9/16 wrench. There is a small glass bead in there that seems to get dirty and cause the loss of power. Some people have punched the bead out, but I hear that...
