    M1009 Speedometer Calibration

    I am also having speedometer troubles. My speedometer was not reading right and kind of jumpy so I replaced the cable hoping that would cure the problem.... no such luck, so I looked at the driven gear in the transfer case and noticed that the yellow 41 tooth gear was kind of wallowed out where...

The truck cranks and runs perfect does not smoke while driving it...

    Fuel economy improvement?

    I know that my speedo is off and is like 3/10 of a mile off which is a lot when adding up mpgs, so what I do is for example I drove 260 miles then I times that by 0.3 which is 73 miles that the speedo did not calculate, which would bring me to 338 mile driven and divide that by 14 gallons of...

    I am having a on going issue with my m1009. The problem is on the fuel filter housing and it seems that nobody knows what is wrong.

    Tires for M1009

    I have just came across a tire the size is 33x13.50x15 Nitto Mud Grappler. I am wondering if they will fit with the stock ride height? It seems like I have plenty of clearance for a 33 inch tire (in theory).

    Tires for M1009

    I have Bf Goodrich At Ko with 31x10.50x15 and they do really well but like with all all terrains they do have their weaknesses which is mud. The BF all terrains do have a slight roar but is a good all around tire. I honestly would love if they made one in a 31x12.50x15. The tire makes for better...
