    Turn Signal - One not blinking

    Turn Signal Problem that I haven't found on here yet that maybe someone here could help me with. I put in a new blinker in the fuse box today and got all my signals working just fine, with only one problem. All signals work great, all lights both outside and inside were replaced yesterday...

    Alternator Bracket

    Yeah, I think that they just swapped it, possibly with a brand new one. The guy asked me what vehicle it was for, and incredibly, he had 3 alternators in the back that he said were for a military vehicle. I am sure, looks good, just need the mount and hope like hell it starts when I get my new...

    Ebay starters...bad idea?

    Starter location I am, let us say, mechanically challenged, curiosly only when it comes to vehicles. I promised myself that I was going to finally learn automotive mechanics by tinkering with a M1009 that I intend to use as a daily driver. I have located almost all of the trouble spots on...

    m1009 parts truck

    I could use your two front seats, and your lift / tow shackles if they are available. I might also be interested in your complete tailgate if there also. Do you have any of the extras like the jack, tire wrench, road kit, etc? I am in KY so I could get the small stuff shipped up here, and I...

    M1009 Whip Antenna Question

    As long as I can pick up the local radio stations in my area say I will be happy. I live in a kind of radio black out zone anyway, no good radio stations. That is why I run an Ipod on a tape adapter. Sounds like I will be able to use the antenna to some degree stock without any modifications...

    M1009 Whip Antenna Question

    No transmitting, just picking up some NPR once and again. The AS-1729/VRC is exactly the type that I would like to use. Sounds like it might not work out like I want it to though.

    M1009 Whip Antenna Question

    Need some input on an idea I had. Would it be possible to run FM Antenna wire up the middle of the antenna or possibly even wrap it around the outside of a military antenna and use with a FM radio receiver. I would then tie it down along the passenger side of the truck from the rear...
