    That's tough that they were all full of dirt! Never know what you're going to get sometimes. Looks like the gears should clean up fine...Have you messed with the shoes or bearings yet?

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Alright so this weekend we started the body mounts on the 1009...they are pretty simple to get the nuts off but getting the bolts to free up from the bushing sleeves was another issue...we ended up using the nut on the end of the bolt a few threads on and using the jack and half inch extensions...

    Starter problem on my 6.2 M1009?

    The relay is under the dash...2 big wires and 2 smaller ones...pretty simple setup...if you have a temp heat gun how hot is hot...that front positive battery is the jump to make the 24 volts...cranking for a long time can get it warm...is it a normal double end cable or a loose ended...

    Starter problem on my 6.2 M1009?

    I'd check you're starter relay under the dash...see if it's clicking or getting the 24 volts going to the starter...make sure the ground to the block is solid as well.

    AcuTemp Refrigerator

    That's great information that I didn't know...mines been sitting for a bit but plan to use it a bunch this summer...I replaced the batteries with the ones it came with just to not throw off it's system so adding a panel to charge them is the next step for sure.

    M1009 Price estimate.

    That does look nice...being you'd have a very large geographic group that looks for these nationwide, price is whatever you want it to be...I go by, can always bring the price down if there'sno bites...plus it usually eliminates tire kickers...you're almost in the middle of the country so...

    Question about picking up mep802a with trailer from GP.

    Nice! Good year to have then! I'm only 45 minutes away from the pick up location which is good and bad...I won't stop buying random stuff!!

    Question about picking up mep802a with trailer from GP.

    For the years I've been picking up stuff there they are always top notch...I know them pretty well and they have always helped me get my stuff loaded up right...the story is from a few buyers from Md tried to pull them home and barely made it to the Mason line...apparently they called customer...

    Question about picking up mep802a with trailer from GP.

    Can't have to many!! You happen to notice the date code on the tires? Mine are from 2009 and look new but worried they might give out...be a slight comparison since you went so far...the guys yard in Chambersburg Pa told me a bunch try to tow home but the tires don't make it...I trailered mine...

    What’s This Part For?

    That has a plunger on the end that gets pushed by a bar that is actuated by pulling back on the turn signal stalk...If you take off the lower dash cover you can see it easy...that is adjustable as well...you should hear an audible click when you do move it.

    Headlight issue

    That's good...some LEDs don't dim but go out...I think the manufacturers have found that bulbs need to be used at lower voltage to dim and they've made them work that way now...they used to be very sensitive to low volts. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    M1009 New to me...

    Could've got my son on it to do now that his is about done! Rick has a bunch of parts too.

    Headlight issue

    Nice! Do they dim or do they stay the same brightness then go out with the dimmer switch? Mine turned out to be the fuse connection...I have to clean all the internal contacts more...a new fuse helps too.

    M1009 New to me...

    Dang, that looks like mine...it took a good while to replace all the rockers and floor but we've never done it before. Good thing is parts are not that expensive and a basic mig welder gets the job done nice. Sounds like it took a long commitment to get it too! Good luck on the project!

    Anyone Know the Length: Negative Battery Cable for Front Battery??

    I found those at a surplus store north of Harrisburg Pa a few months ago...they had the positive and negative sizes and got 8...I think the were under 5$ each too...fit perfect.

    Headlight issue

    Wait...dash lights are bright?? I'm sure they were designed to be as dull as possible to keep you guessing at how slow you're really going at night or what gear you're in or out of fuel...all of mine quit working the other day out of no where...typical. On a real note the switch on the column...

    Anyone Know the Length: Negative Battery Cable for Front Battery??

    Looking at this pic again it seems like the ground wire was going over top of the rear battery side mount...now that you're replacing it you can run it under it so it won't chaffe on that again...48 might be a little long but that's not a big deal since there's plenty of room to tuck it around...

    Portable 24V Slave Battery Pack?

    I don't see why not, that's what the slave is for...is there any way to just leave a small charger in there 2 or 6 amp just to keep it topped off...that really stresses the alt, battery and starter...and starter relay that likes to go nuts with low voltage.

    Last I saw it it should never see anything but a museum...it looks better than new.

    Anyone Know the Length: Negative Battery Cable for Front Battery??

    My batteries are out of my blazer right now...from the best I can do with them still bolted down is 44 inches...that should be a good starting point...I got bulk cable ends and a press crimper to install the heavy round ends on them with some shrink wrap...could go a smidge longer and make them...
