Here is my New Zombie crushing bumper!!!
Finally got my new bumper back and everything about it is overkill, but it is awesome!!! This thing will outlast the truck.

Very nice bumper, It looks very similar to the one on my blazer! Great improvement to the truck although heavy. If you throw a m1008 step bumper on the rear you will also find that more functional and better looking.

Again Very nice looking bumper!!!!

Today I just cut the hole for my Warn winch also and got it all wired up. Spooled it out for a test and back up nice and tight. Need a hole cutting bit to mount the military remote hook up.

Went trail riding and camping over the weekend.. Had a Blast until i broke a ujoint and Yoke on my rear axle. Was able to weld it.. yes weld it... and it held the rest of the weekend... we took it kinda easy, and avoided some of the extreme trails... researching now to see if i should go back with the 1350 yoke with Straps or go with a 1410 and u bolts.......

 

[paraclete comes]

what type of u joints?

 

[1ton cucv k5 turbo]

what type of u joints?

Just standard 1350 u joints.. the difference will be with the yoke. either one that takes the Straps ( factory style for a 14b ) or a yoke that will accept the U bolt. The research that i have done shows the U bolt style yoke to be stronger

My boys ages 6, and 8 helped me install the bumper and grill guard onto our m1009. I got these parts from Hawkman during the Red Ball in Gilbert<PA! What a great guy

Finally got the tires mounted on the 12 bolts and got them on the truck!

 

[paraclete comes]

tires and rims look good twomore.

Today I took the next step and took the truck in and had the exhaust put into the works. Cut off the old set up tons of rust and holes! Real bad condition but will be replacing with a dual Spintech exhausts and everything new from the manifold back.

Here's a few pictures.


Will pick up tomorrow afternoon if everything goes as planned. By the way while the truck was up on the rack and the exhaust system was off I fired it up. Very interesting the change, sounded like and old muscle care to me. But im no expert on exhausts, was cool to hear though.

Lately my M1009 has been neglected due to project deadlines, a movie rental, and helping fellow MV owner friends keep their MVs running.
Recently I have had some spare time to repair the no up-shift problem (stuck governor ). While I was at it, I also replaced the vacuum hoses, the modulator on the transmission, and adjusted the vacuum valve.

Today a hard working woman with blonde hair, and green eyes who shall remain nameless had to replace a front tire on the M1009 that she destroyed by accident. Lesson learned lol.

M1009 - pulled the temperature sensor off near the back of the intake on the drivers side. Thought I might be able to find some numbers to cross reference to a new one but no luck. The parts store only has one with atop pinned outlet and mine looks like a coax cable connection.

Those do look great! What suspension and/or transmission mods have you done? I have a bs
Ask ally stock 09 and would like to run that size but unsure if the th400 will take it?

Literally just did this- Just get the WT3000 (part number) and get the harness for it. Or just this - CUCV Temperature Sensor with Connecting Harness - CUCV Electric

I washed my M1009 yesterday. Then it rained again today. Oh well, wasted $5.00 at the spray and go.

Finished Pintle mod today. Now I can install my other ball hitch's for my other towing needs, and It levels my M101A2. Still working on body work for final CARC Green paint in the next week or two? More pics In my album.
