After close examination of the lines the flare on the existing lines are not a normal flare. They are made to seal with an o-ring and are nothing I've ever seen. They are actually for refrigerant. Tomorrow I'll be going back to a hydraulic hose place and seeing if we can get JIC fittings to...

Good to know. I think that's the route I'm gonna go Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Changing out the radiator today and both transmission and oil cooler lines were basically welded solid to the fitting. Tried brakleen to clean it up, pb blaster, knocker loose, tried grabbing the lines with channel locks while loosening the nut. Not a thing would work so I just twisted until the...

Haven't had time to dig too deep. But I did find the alternators were good. The back battery was bad. And the radiator is where the coolant is coming from. The guy I bought it from gave me. Battery today and ordered a radiator today. It's tough to find people like that still in this world...

Just bought my first m1009 and drove it an hour and half home in the dark. Got within a mile of the house coming through a town going slow. When I pulled onto the highway I heard a belt squeal. So I limped it home the last mile or so. Got in the driveway and popped the hood. Had coolant all on...

I appreciate it guys. One thing I have on my side is I've talked to him about the truck since he bought it earlier this year. Not as being interested it but just talking about it in general and I know what he has done to it and how much he's spent. And he's a guy with good morals and I see him...

also talking to my brother in law he's buying a 1 ton dually that has a low mileage 6.2l with banks sidewinder. He told me he'd sell me the motor tranny and turbo cheaper than I could find a used motor for in case I ever need anything. I'll be buying it from him regardless just to have the spare...

I am buying my first M1009 next week. I've grown up in and around trucks but never diesels. Also never military trucks. I've done some research but what are some things to look for? The M1009 I'm buying is from a guy I work with. he used to be a diesel mechanic and is very meticulous about his...
