Westech YOU THE MAN Grumpy OLD MAN, but still THE MAN!!!

replace * with an A......

its slickerer than the current diesel, more lubrication for pumps and such...... in small quantitiies, as I understand it is rumored to possibly cause glazing on cylinder walls in large quantities. I typically just add 1qt of "cheap *ss oil" 30w or whatever I find

too many trees!!!! just like my CUCV likes it!!! take that gooberment guys!!!!

Westech That's why I started with the question "what Amps are you drawing?". The military radios weren't big amp hogs, but on high power with the fans running, I'm betting they were close to 25-30 Amps.... I'll look at the wires left from the tear out (previous owner) that is in the cab. I'm...

33x12.5x15's on mine no lift equaled rubbing on front outer wheel wells..... did 4" lift no rubbing

Understand the charging system, but the stock configuration draws off the distribution block in the engine compartment. Wouldn't it make sense to hook up power from there? I guess no matter where you hook to, put in a big FAT capacitor and FUSE...

Westech, Wouldn't you want to "balance" the syatem and come off the distribution block in the engine compartment? or does it not matter ?

How many amps are you drawing?

Dragon, Look before drilling, most if not all M1009's were wired to accept the radios for the military. There should already be a hole were the original wires came through or still might be there just cut off. Mine are still there, but the distribution block in the rear is gone.

Air Filter...... should of done it right after I bought the thing..... seems to run, idle a little better....

check out the GP module theory post at the top of the forum EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know without asking.......

SWEET!!! seats..... They look like they could bolt right in.... Would be nice if they folded forward..... guess you could fab something on the base that would let them tilt forward.... would need to guarentee it locked down good incase of a HARD HALT!!

Get a second estimate!!! 2000 for a gasket replacement??? did I read that right? Heck I'd fly out there do it and flight back and still have about 1500 in my pocket!!! that's way TOO much IMHO 18 hours to replace motor???? It's an involved process but if he knows anything about this vehicle or...

I just did the replacement with the AC 60G's. I haven't done the resistor bypass but planning on doing next chance I get. Mine were a mix of wellmans and other brand # 233??? I think I had about 3 or 4 bad, out of spec. M1009 starts with a single twist and runs great!! gonna do the airfilter...

Not sure where the following info belongs, but I had a heck of a time locating gaskets for the front and rear differentials. The correct FELPRO number is RDS 55075. It is the "paper" gasket, not the neoprene one. NAPA, OReilly, Advance, Autozone had a difficult time understanding what I was...

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but you mention the wellman gp's..... are they preferred over the AC's. I thought the AC's had a bad reputation????:lost: I need to replace my gp's but can't find a local source for the wellmans.... Should I buy the AC's instead. Mine is still stock with nothing...

Cant resist since we're all chiming in..... Probably the GAS you put in it:jumpin: shoulda used premium refer to it as a FUEL station as others will confuse your efforts.....:wink:

My "Rule of Thumb" is if I think I'm gonna need 4 wheel drive. I lock em in!! If I end up not needing them, it's just a bonus!! It's not a daily driver so no worry about on-road issues. When I lock them in I usually do a "once around" the vehicle, with one of the sons driving while I check the...

Before you get blasted by everyone else...... do a search on the site. This topic has been covered... over and over and over Do some reading, learn a little and then ask questions. Good first place to start is the Technical Manuals... Also covered on the site I will anser one of the...
