The support bar was pretty much rusted in half. There wasn't even a pintle on it when I bought it, just a liscense plate holder. If it wasn't complete crap I would definitely hook you up. I can get to the nut to cut it off, but then how would I tighten the new bolts that I'm going to put in...

So here's the deal, I did a search a couple different ways and terms, and after reading through a few worthless posts here's my dilemma. I'm putting a reciever hitch on my m1009, but there are a couple bolts on the rear bumper that need to come out and I'm just wondering if anyone has a useful...

That's lucky you had someone to help with that toomuchjosh, I wouldn't have thought to check that either. I had a similar sound once, mine was a lot more at idle though. Turned out to be the starter heat shield had completely came off the mount and was bouncing on the starter. Might be...

x2 What kind of turbo is that? Doesn't look like a sidewinder. Nice build!

I know this is a little off subject, but where did you pick up the nv4500? Just curious as I'm really looking into this swap for myself.

I almost want to do a frame off resto on my 09, not sure if all the work is worth it though. Looking good!

When I did my wheel bearings the same part broke on mine. I had to order it from Autozone(or Advance?) from their website. I couldn't find a single place that had it at the store. Pretty cheap though, $9 for 2 of them. I've actually got an extra one from that job, so if you get yours in and...

When mine ran out of diesel I had to bleed it with a manual syphon pump. I just attatched one end to the output nipple on the fuel filter and the other I ran into a rubbermaid pitcher. Just pumped away until I had fuel mostly clear of bubbles coming through. Saved my batteries a lot of cranking!

So awesome! My wife would crap a house, but man those could be added to my to do list! You guys on here never cease to inspire me!

In my opinion I say go green. If not green go something completely different, one of these posts on here has a M1009 in arctic camo. Looks bad ass!

Looks like you had fun! I want to go out and play....

Sanded and painted the dash and doors with some fresh 383. Also painted the door cards with black vinyl paint from advance auto. Looks like a whole new interior minus my f%*&^% up dash!

Took me almost 8, I didn't do the converter or anything just dropped the pan and filter.

I just did this same thing a couple weeks ago! My suggestion is to get either a siphon pump or hand bulb pump to get the fuel to the filter before trying the cranking method or you'll kill you're batteries. Just my .02

I used the TM diagram a little bit, mostly when I took it apart i just set everything in the order I pulled it out in. Wish I could be of more help, I'm sure you'll get it easy enough.

Oh yeah, good point. I just saw that you have an 1009 and a 1008, it's prob different for the 1008, mine's the blazer.

The only tools you'll really need is the axle nut socket(at autozone it's called the 1/2 ton axle nut socket, basically a big socket with 4 little teeth coming off it) and some snap ring pliers for the snapring on the end of the axle. I just did all 4 corners of my 1009

I wish my dash was in that good of shape! I'm gonna have to get a new one, but yours looks nice with that fresh paint! Can't wait to see it installed

Awesome bumper! I was daydreaming not that long ago about how a m1009 would look with a bumper like that, thanks for the inspiration!

Looking good! Just curious, I've heard a couple people talk about the Herculiner smell in the heat, even after it cures. Does yours smell a lot? I wonder if the Bed-Armor stuff is pretty much the same?
