I get around 20mpg with my M1009.

Here is how I test mine: First, disconnect the wires from each of your glow plugs. Then, hook the clip of your 12 volt test light to the battery POSITIVE terminal. Touch the probe of your test light to the terminal of the glow plug itself (NOT the wiring harness!). Any glow plugs that does not...

The jjandaracing.com one is the better of the two in my opinion. The OTC one is difficult to use on the hard to reach plugs like the back one on the passenger side. Of course that was one of the swollen ones on mine. I had 4 with swollen tips and the OTC one got all of them out without breaking...

I believe the intent of getting the piston to the top is so the broken tip is as close to the injector hole as possible to get it out. You do NOT crank the engine to get the piston to the top however. Use a breaker bar and socket on the pulley bolt on the front of the motor and turn the engine...

Accidental double post

I made 4 boxes out of plywood just slightly larger than the speakers and mounted them to the sidewall. 2 over the wheel wells and 2 as close to the front as possible. Worked out well, but if you can mount a couple more towards the front seats you'll be happier with the sound. I didn't want to...

Very nice. I just bid victoriously on a 1028 non dually at Meade. Looking forward to getting it home. Guess you and I will both be spending some doe soon.

+1. I have been using the same electric pump on mine for 2-years and no issues. Not sure why the people who leave those reviews were having trouble. When my mechanical pump stopped working I bought a replacement, but it wouldn't pump fuel either. I think the lobe that operates the ear on the...

And I thought I was the only one crazy enough to weld in shorts and flip flops. I need to do that to my M1009 also. Thanks for posting.

Well if anyone knows the weight of a civilian unit you can compare it that way with regard to the gauge of metal used. I am fairly certain they are identical so my vote is "not true" I do have a M101 trailer that is made of galvanized steel though. The other two I have are not. The paint is...

Welcome. I'm just a hop skip and a jump away from you. Nice looking machine. They are alot of fun to drive and tinker with.

You have a lot more patience than I do. The wiring on your truck sounded like a disaster after reading this thread. Glad you got it all worked out. I'd put the batteries in the engine compartment if you haven't already.

I don't think the Humvee motor is any different in this regard. You need to slowly turn the crankshaft with a breaker bar as someone else mentioned until the bolts get to a point where you can get on them with a socket and ratchet and remove them. Once you get one off, you move the crank with...

I have found the prices vary widely. I have seen some units at auction go really high, but others go low. My first genset was a MEP-004 on a 2-1/2 ton trailer, which I got for $630 in 09. Sold it a year later for $1800. They got a deal in my opinion and I made some money. That was a big unit...

That works. Nice job

That looks bad a$$

The clunk right as it comes to a stop would make me think U-Joint.

I painted mine with paint I bought from Ebay. It's called Hot Rod Flatz paint and is sold by an ebay seller named TCP Global. I have bought several gallons of different paints they sell and never had an issue. If you type the word "Flatz Paint" in the search bar it will pop up. Mine is the Olive...

I'm not a big fan of the spare on the outside, but you did a nice job fabricating and finishing it off. I understand the need for more space, I had the same issue last fall trying to get all my hunting gear and my new ladder tree stand in mine. It just barely fit in the back with the spare...

I paid $1240 for my M1009 right out of Gov't service with 41K miles a couple years ago. It took time, patience, and about $1K to make it reliable and run good and then another $1.5K to add the creature comforts I wanted. They seem to go for $2K + at the auctions now, but on the private sale...
