I have a 1984 M1009. A week ago I decided to switch out my brake pads. I noticed for the front brakes the caliper never fully released. I then proceeded to change the calipers. Once I did that there was no difference, the calipers were still sticking. Some employee at Autozone said that it could...

Haha far out man. I'm going take a closer look this weekend with a tester or maybe the dye and see what I can find.

Well I took a look and it is definitely not the water pump weep hole, the pump is pretty much the only dry component down there. I let it run for a half hour and no leakage came out of anywhere. Money is a little tight and pressure testers are quite expensive. Do they really work that good?

Also what do you guys prefer for the oil pan, cork gaskets or RTV? I'm leaning towards the cork gasket because RTV is always a pain (at least for me).

So I decided to fix my leaky oil pan on my 1984 M1009. I looked under the vehicle to make sure it was coming from the oil pan and I noticed fresh coolant dripping off the front lip of the pan. At first I thought the coolant could be coming from the water pump, but the drip is on the other side...

When you have the adapter and stock tire size the yellow 41 tooth gear is stock for the M1009's correct?

Ignore this

Hey guys I have a 1984 M1009. I've been doing a lot of deep water crossings and am getting a little concerned those stock diff breathers just aren't tall enough. They just look like some vacuum tubing to me with a small filter fitting on top. I was going to get some hose and extend them higher...

How cold of weather do you usually have to start your tuck in though?

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=445122&d=1367612151 Hey guys I have a 1984 M1009. I have the Delco 60gs and I wanted to make the manual conversion so that I could heat them up a little longer like they need. I'm no electrician and don't want to make a stupid mistake...

Just measure the distance between the starters teeth and the flywheel. I don't stock M1009 's need a shim.

That is my lowest range. I get .1 when I touch the leads together. Originally I was grounding one of the leads and touching the terminal with the other while they were still in the truck. I just tried touching one lead to the terminal and one to the hex portion while the plug was out of the...

It is on 200, I have AC Delco 60Gs, and yes.

So I tested my glow plugs and they all read .9 or .8 ohms. I figured that that was outside of the specs so I started replacing them. I got half of them in when I realized that they all read the exact same ohms as the other ones. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the truck?

Yeah I'll probably be rebuilding it sometime within the next month. I'll get the measurement.

Thanks that's actually really helpful. Does the actual kit have wrong parts or did ASP just make a mistake with what they sent you?

Hey guys I'm sorry for the stupid question, but I've been looking through the TM's and I cant find the section on testing glow plugs. Does anyone know which one it's in?

I have a 1984 m1009. I was wondering if anyone knows of or had good luck with any particular 24 volt starter rebuild kit. Please don't bother posting if you are just going to tell me to take it to the shop. Thanks.

Since the SM465 doesn't have the over drive would it still improve my mpg and top speed? Assuming I keep the 3.08 gearing. Also will it hook right up to the stock T-case?

So I have beenseriously considering swapping out my TH400 for NV4500 in my 1984 M1009. To bequite honest I'm a novice mechanic (luckily the M1009 is easy to work on andthe TM manuals are idiot proof) and I was wondering how difficult would it beto do? Is it a simple matter of bolting it on and...
