rnd Sarge, Thanks for the help. The one I have is Fram FM2321 (GREEN stripe). I drove my M1009 on the flat streets tonight after traffic cleared. My shift points are at 21 MPH for 2nd and about 40 for 3rd! The modulator instructions say to turn the screw in 2-4 turns (2 at-a-time) and see if...

Hey congratulations are in order I just made Corporal. Do I still have to work for a living?

Just got back from Home depot. The 1/4"- too small, the 5/16" -too large. M7- like a glove. See, you learn something everyday. I better revise my tool kit to include some metric screwdrivers and funnels. * Yes, I AM new to CUCV forums- thanks for pointing this metric thing out to me.

I am just getting a jump on general maintenance. There is some slipping when I start it up and put it in Drive. It comes along after 2-4 seconds. So I thought I would stat by replacing the rubber lines from modulator to the Injector pump. I replaced all the rubber in this circuit and Cleaned the...

I went to replace the Tansmission modulator in the M1009. The guy at the parts counter said he had Fram parts only; but there was two type: Fram - Transmission Modulator Green Stripe or Blue...

I tried a 1/4"-20... too small- just drops right through the puka.. I don't get the feeling GM would have used metric here in 84. I'll have another look at 5/16-18 or-20. Worse case is they won't be spec if I haVE TO re-tap them.

I finally got a bunch of MFC fuel cans in and a water can as well. I have been trying every screw I have in the garage; but have yet to figure out wat size and thread count fit the water can mount- where the can rack bolt to the floor riser in the Driver rear of the M1009. Anyone successfully...

bulldog_mack13, Good enough for me. Heading out to get some rusoleum now. How do you reduce it?

bulldog_mac13, I was getting ready to commit to your choice of Rustoleum Flat Black. Then I read the attached link: g741.org • View topic - Metal prep, Primer and paint This guy says that the Gillespie does not accept the Rustolem black. What green and brown do you use with Rustoleum Flat Black?

I have been around the web looking for Black to go with the '383' green and brown I am using for a total repaint. I have used the flat black by Krylon; but I don't like it for this job- rather have something with the same apearance over the long haul as the '383'. Rapco has 911 Flat Black... is...

Has anyone painted their M1009 in the new pattern? Does anyone know where I can see one painted in the new pattern?

I am getting the paint together to give my new-to-me M1009 a new Nato camo paint job. I see there are newer patterns to replace the "old" pattern. Is there a photo somewhere that shows the actual vehicle side-by-side. I have seen the line art patterns- I just want to see the real deal before I...

OK, here is the cure I happened upon just last week. No guessing here. I had some pine tar drops and oil from overspray when I lubed up something with WD-40 or White Lithium Grease Spray. The hood looked like ****. I went through all the possible solvents and started with bug and Tar spray...

Oregon man, Oregon.

Yep, I'm sure the trans is slipping. When in gear I wait a few beats and give it some gas (any gear). There is no immediate response and then a few beats later it clunks in and we start to move in the appropriate direction. My wife's old cougar does the same thing- i took it to a Cottman shop...

Yep, I had in on my paved street, made two turns and parked it. So, IFU! Now I know. Hope I didn't damage anything. I should not expect this sort of thing off road then? What about the tans slipping in 2WD? Is this an adjustment for the transmission shop or or they going to tell me it's a No...

This M1009 is my first 4WD. That I have actually had to exit and lock up. I am checking it out for the first time since I bought it 6 weeks ago in 4WD. I have engaged the front hubs. Placed the column shifter in Neutral and while beginning to move forward, placed the TC shifter in 4HI. The WD...

wallew, Thanks for the paint "Codes" Can you verify what the label; says on your can. The SEM guy at the local Auto Paint Store can't find the codes you mention. I found a "Bronze Met" at the GM RPO site that crosses that color to: 59T Top Color Bronze Met 93" What is the 76D code you mention...

I'm getting ready to prep the M1009 for paint; but I see the white fiberglass showing through in a couple of spots. How do I repair or prep this before spraying the new 383 paint on?

bigburb11, HUH? Man I'm stoked to hear this... I think?!? What exactly did you get? What do I ask for: . Is there another thread discussing this? Do you know the part number. Do tell.
