StationJJ, Thank you. I thought I made a good point too. But for this company that makes these grommets to say the are hard to find, and they only had 20 of them? I think that is hard to believe, the probably crank out parts like this by the thousands of course. So they probably have 20...

StationJJ, I am not surprised, it is an aircraft parts supplier, that usually deals with big contracts from big customers. So they probably get away with charging that kind of price per item. I am sure we can find it cheaper from a surplus dealer, like Saturn, or ebay. Just my $0.02 cents...

Hello SouthernSteel, Thank you for the post, information and all that. I dug into my instrument cluster and replaced the fuel gauge. Was not really that hard. Just time consuming, because I ran into a few minor problems. But the new fuel gauge does not work to solve my problem, the new...

Ryan, I know that. No worries, it does not bother me. It is a 25+ year old truck, it is going to have issues, I understand that. Besides, just about any vehicle on the road now a days has an issue from time to time. I enjoy working on it anyway, I have the green disease... If I did not...

Warthog, Thank you for the bulb info.. No problem, I remember. So I downloaded and read the TM's, copied, pasted and saved all the advice from all of you in this thread, and saved the photos SouthernSteel just posted to my HD. I think I got this covered... And I am confident I can handle...

Hello SouthernSteel, Thank you for posting those photos. Those will be a great help in me doing this. I can now see what I am getting myself into. Does not look too hard at all. But I do not plan on removing the entire cluster from the vehicle. I should be able to get the fuel gauge out...

Hi guys, I am sorry I could not be there. I had to work several hours today... Did not get home until the afternoon. God bless all of you...

Stationjj, I sent them an email inquiry too. I am awaiting their response. I will keep you guys posted. Good night...

StationJJ, I just got the gauge in the mail today... I will try and put it in tomorrow. Just got to be careful, so I do not get caught doing it here. Will let you know if it solves my problem, after I get it installed. I had a new sender put in just a few months ago, and the rest of the...

Fridge, Thank you for the post, that is exactly what I needed to know... What does the back of the stock gauge look like? 3 screws sticking out the back (I hope).. How many holes in the socket the gauge plugs into? Good night...

Hi guys... I just got my the fuel gauge I have been expecting from LMC truck for my M1009. Now I have read the TM, and now know exactly how to remove it. But... After I disconnect the batteries FIRST... If all goes well, how long should it take? Also, do you simply pull it out of a...

TeamAL, Would your dad work on my M1009 if I bought him some beer too? LOL 2cents

Fridge, Start off with the blue wire with red stripe, follow it and see where it leads to, if you can. Then maybe that will help you figure it out. I will check my truck, and see if I can find that wire, and see where it goes. 2cents Good luck...

Hello TeamAl... Looks good, congratulations... Let me know if you ever have any questions. I would be glad to do what I can to help. Especially if you ever pass thru Atlanta, Ga with it. I use my 1985 M1009 as a daily driver too. And she is quite reliable... Good luck, and Good day, 2cents

ThunderCracker, I am in the same boat as you... But I need the 3 seat belts sets for the rear seat, the fronts are okay for now. But the rear seatbelts are toast. Just my 2cents

Here is my 2cents I keep mine between 55-65 on the freeway, because I do not want to push it either. I know too it can go faster, but I do not want to mistreat the engine by going faster. With mine, I had to start with eletrical because the eletrical was in worse shape than the rubber, but...

If you felt that way about it, then... Why did you let it go? 2cents

Cpf, Thanks for the information. I do not have my heater core out yet, but I plan on trying soon, when I get another one. As for the capacitor, I would like to still use one, so I do not get any interference coming out of my CB radio. I read the TM's about removing and installing the...

Hi guys, Since we are on the heater subject. Have any of you ever replaced the heater core in your M1009? Also, if I needed to replace my heater blower motor capacitor, could I get that at the local auto part store too? I cannot locate it on the oreilly's or napa site... 2cents When...

Hndrsonj, Thanks for the information. No worries, I do not need much, so perhaps they will have some or what I need left. I just wonder how reasonable is reasonable though. I would like to make a road trip out there, it is not too terribly far away from me. Only about 58 miles...
