    What a dead horse

    I sure do! I still hesitates but fires up. But sometimes after driving it for 30-45min it wont start at all. I give it a small shot of WD-40 on the air filter and it helps it come to life but I dont like doing that but it beats being stranded.

    m1008 Doors Hard To Close

    So which part am I after? I sprayed some "white Lithium Grease" in my striker the other day and it didnt do a think. It worked on my screen door hinges on my house pretty good though...LOL Check links above for pictures.

    Steering alignment

    Thanks for the quick reply bud! Any idea what kind of price range I'd be looking at for them replacing the tie rods? I dont know what he was talking about a "tow bar" either...unless he was talking to another customer when he said that..lol

    Steering alignment

    Ok my M1009 buddies! I got one to throw out at y'all here and the search function did not answer my question. As you can see by my avatar I keep my 1009 in tip top condition and is pristine other than a few minor problems which is expected with an 84 vehicle. I put new tires on it after...

    M1009 upgrades

    Dash light replacement Guys, just a heads up. When I took everything apart I cleaned everything with Windex too. I'm not really into making vids but I will take pictures if I can. Half the fun of owning a CUCV is learning to work on it. They ate pretty simple trucks (or can be at times). A...

    M1009 upgrades

    Just to add to the discussion of putting a light in the transfer case, me personally would stay away from LEDs as they"ll be too bright. That's just my opinion because my 1009 is fully stock and at the time I think the military would have wanted to stay away from LEDs just because the lighting...

    M1009 upgrades

    @ Psyops; I haven't gotten to the transfer case lighting YET but it's second on the list. I'm having issues with hard starts so I need to slip a new few pump in before I get to the lighting on the transfer case. The numbers you need for the gauge lights are Sylvania 168 silverstar high...

    M1009 upgrades

    Well, after my last discussion on here about the 4x4 transfer case not being lit up for lighting I decided to do some more lighting upgrades. I replaced all my dash lights (fuel gauge,speedometer, and volt gauge...ect) with sylvania high intensity bulbs. WHAT a differene it made. They are'nt as...

    Light on 4x4 selector

    @ Psywarrior, you hit the nail in the head for the question I was asking! Indeed I was talking about the transfer case selector of the floor. Thanks for clarifying that for me. I may have not been too clear in my original posting but I like you have a tendency to agree that even though the dash...

    Light on 4x4 selector

    Hey everyone, I've searched the forums and cant find the answer to my question so here it goes. Is the 4x4 selector on the floor supposed to have a light in it so that you can see at night if you're in 2wd,4wh,N....ect... like most civi models? Mine has 2 wires running from the selector on the...
