    Aargh! Headlight fuse keeps blowing

    Does the fuse blow on low beams or does it do it on high and low? Check connections at the headlight. Not for sure if would help, but maybe change the headlights.

    I seen a m416 trailer on GL go $800 just last month. These trailers are getting hard to find. Offer the guy $500, he might take it.

    Applying Bedliner to M105A2?

    Did the floor of my manure spreader with hurculiner with good results. But I took to to the local sandblaster so I had a good clean surface to apply the stuff and that it had a good bond to metel, no flaking at all. The hurciliner was pretty rough though, next time might use something smoother

    M1009 Door Adjustment

    When you get a set of plastic bushings for the doors at napa, They are the same if it says ford on the package. It will still fit GM but may have to file the ends down as they were made to fit lots of differant models. My have to drive them on with a deepwell socket also.

    M101a2 racks and bows ?

    How easy is it to flip the trailer over on the other one. I will be picking up 2 M101's at Fort Rilley as soon as the EUC clears and was going to pull them up on my flat bed trailer, but maybe flipping one over on the other one might be an option?

    Cold startup procedure

    I watch the volt meter. Even though the wait to start light will go off, the glow plugs will still stay on for a while, around 8 seconds. When the volt meter neddle goes up, hold the accelerator half or all the way down depending on the temp and them try to start.

    putting a tach on a 6.2

    I installed a 2inch issopro tach right next to the volt meter on mt m1009. Ordered the tach with a inductive pickup that you bolt to the oil pan and then you glue 2 magnets 180 degrees apart on the harmonic dampener. Seams to work good and accurate too. No need to calibrate as what you should do...

    M1009 Rear window felt

    I went to Menards and bought some felt in the weatherstrip section, cleaned up the old channel and glued it in place. Works great and lot cheaper than buying through LMC.
