    Any one here ever drill drain holes into the rear seat recesses?

    I think this would be minimal based on the location of the two "pockets" the seat latches fit into. Any water that comes in would just drain out since these recesses are about 2-3 inches deep.

    How does the spare tire mount in the back of a M1009?

    Yea that is the diagram i followed. Do you think the extra hole is for a cable to lock the spare to the tire carrier?

    How does the spare tire mount in the back of a M1009?

    I looked at the pictures in the TMs and they are not very helpful. Can some one take a picture of how the spare tire is bolted to the spare tire carrier. I have the round plate over the center of the rim tighten down with the bar that has two holes in it. What is the other hole for?

    Total production numbers

    There was a video of them driving a M60 tank over rows of M880s from the mid 1980s. I posted a link here but the back lash from people claiming i was trolling forced me to delete it. Now I cant find the video any where.

    Buzzing sound comming from under dash after glow plug replacment...

    Confirmed it is the glow plug relay buzzing. It was so loud I thought it was coming from under the dash. Checked the Glow Plug card and it looks fine. Will try and clean glow plug relay contacts this weekend. I am wondering if I need a new relay.

    Buzzing sound comming from under dash after glow plug replacment...

    I tried to do a search on this issue, found a few post mentioning, but no real solutions and I wasn't even sure if they were talking about the same thing so I decided to film it. Ok last week I replaced my glow plugs with AC Delco units (I think the 60g) and my wait light now stays on longer...

    Residue Trucks

    I agree great save. Those trucks will allow several people to complete there trucks and get them back on the road. Plus you will make a bit of money off the parts.

    Mine has started doing this also. It could be because of the really cold weather we are having here.

    Removed the steering wheel cover on my M1009 to inspect if my steering wheel was installed incorrectly or if it was drag link (turned out to be the drag link). It looks like Pvt. Pyle has been here…the end of the shaft is mushroomed out from what I assume was a failed attempt and removing...

    Strange transmission behaviour...

    This has happened to me twice now with my M1009 and it has me a little concerned. When I shift into reverse I don't feel the transmission engage and when I give it some throttle the engine revs and nothing happens. I found by shifting the column all the way to the end and then back into park...

    Tail gate window sweep problems...$40 down the drain...

    Well in attempt to stop my M1009 from becoming a mobile swimming pool I purchased an inner and outer tail gate felt window sweep setup from LMC. These things were not cheap! I installed the inner sweep into the tail gate no problem. The outer sweep though did not work out to well. I got the...

    What gauge of wire is the glowplug wiring harness?

    I want to replace my glow plug connectors with spade plugs so I can use my AC Delco 60gs. After work I am going to run to the hard ware store and pick up some insulated female spade connectors. Does any one know the wire gauge size so I can purchase the correct spade connectors? 14 gauge?
