Hello all, Getting ready to replace all the exterior lenses on the M1009...stop lights, park light/signals and side marker lenses. What after market brand seems to be the best quality these days? I understand everything seems to come from China but is there a difference in quality between the...

Barrman thanks for the tip on the cable routing. So how did you actually run it in the area of the shift linkage? Any pics of the whole deal underneath? Thanks...

Thanks guys for the recommendations .... Doghead... The speedo itself was not replaced as I thought and was told by the speedo shop that the cable and housing were bad. They told me that if the bounce smooths out at a speed around 40 to 50mph that most likely the cable is bad. I have not...

I actually did not have to remove my steering wheel to remove it. I was able to remove and reinstall it with the steering wheel still on no problem. So...YMMV....:)

Hello all...:) I decided to replace the speedometer cable and housing this weekend after living with the tick, tick, tick and bounce, bounce, bounce in the speedometer since I bought the M1009 last year. After removing the old cable and housing I noticed that even though I was supposed to...

Not sure on how to check the body mounts but everything seems to fit correctly. Doors fits and close correctly and body lines look correct... As far as I can tell the truck has never been hit. The underside of the frame looks good and the truck drives and tracks correctly. I looked the...

Hello all, So while under the M1009 yesterday to replace a speedo cable and front emergency brake cable I decided to take a look at the trans mount bushings on the cross member for the trans/transfer case. Ever since purchasing the vehicle last November I have noticed a clunk when I drive over...

All good....:) I just needed to tug a little harder. Thanks!

Thank you for the advice..! Probably a stupid question but I am to rotate the main body...the chrome part correct? Not the end of the lever... I tried pushing in on the main body of the lever and then rotating slightly counter clockwise....Doing this should I feel a slight click then turn...

Hello all, I have read the TM and this sounds so easy but for some reason my lever does not want to come out. I have the steering wheel off etc. etc. due to other items that need attention in there...:) Is there some trick to getting the lever to come out? How hard should I be pulling on it...

Thanks all for the info...! My M1009 has a Fluidyne harmonic balancer and I have not had any other issues. Belts, radiator, water pump, oil cooler lines..etc.etc. are all new. I'm not sure what "over center" is so I will have to be educated on that...:) Can someone give me a explanation of...

Hello all...:) I've been off the forum for a while since I've been out on flight contracts. Nonetheless I have been using my M1009 as a daily driver and after much work six months back so far so good. I have been running surplus Jet A I have access to for fuel and have probably 10+ tank fulls...

Hello all...So I leave the house this AM for work. I back out my truck, park it for a minute and put the parking brake on...everything normal. I drive to work, park, press down on the parking brake foot lever and it goes all the way to the floor. Bummer. So I figure one of the cables...

That's going to be pretty hard to do since the harmonic balancer blocks removal of the bolt or obviously I would just remove it and see... The question is....is there a coolant port that far down into the block? I think not since where the bolt goes in is basically the rasided extention of the...

So I was under the truck today and noticed something quite odd. I had just gotten home and decided to get underneath and look around to make sure everything looked good since I just did a lot of work on "Chemical Jane" over the last month and the truck was nice and warmed up. While under there...

Sorry doghead....Apologies. I didn't even realize what I had done until you mentioned it. I'll be more careful in the future.... ltm: The hoses were ordered directly from my local GM dealer and I picked them up the next day. The O-rings are Dash 110.

Continued working on "Chemical Jane" today. I look back now and can't believe all the work I've done so far...LOL. Anyway today's task was putting in the new oil cooler lines. I went with new GM items and overall they fit well. I was surprised to see that they were bent slightly different than...

Well unfortunately for me one of my lines has a bad notch wore into the metal line portion that could leak at some point so I must replace at least one of the lines. It's the line from the PS pump to the boost unit. If anyone has an old one that in which the metal lines portion of the hose...

For my coolant filter set-up I was able to source some nice USA hand made brass T-fittings. They will probably last longer than me...LOL. I just could not use the plastic stuff anymore. For those interested in the vendor info please PM and me and I will forward the info as I don't want to...

Hey All, I want to replace my power steering lines as I'm pretty much doing everything else right now in the engine bay...LOL. Can anyone recommend a brand of replacement power steering lines to get? I was able to source some original NOS GM lines but they are a chunk of change though I'm not...
