I checked the fluid in the Transfer Case, it was good.
I took the adapter piece off and I didn’t see much of a gear. The end in the pic below.
On the other side of the adapter, I could could see what looks like the middle piece of a gear, it had some oil on it. I was able to spin the piece...
I will go a head and bend that sash back, without the rubber piece. I’ll do it without the glass in as well. The rollers are perfect, I replaced the regulator so that helps.
I’ll lube it all up again once I get it it all back together.
The seals I’m referring to are the square shaped ones...
I forgot to mention, the 41 Driven Speedometer Gear was replaced at the end of the last along with the speedometer.
When I turned the end of the Speedo cable the speedometer in the dash did react.
Two things I noticed while I was down there. It wasn’t super easy to get the end of the...
The Speedometer has now stopped working. I haven’t gotten around the lubing the bushing on the back of it yet. I disconnected and reconnected the cable from the transfer case side and it worked at first and now it doesn’t. I also noticed the part that the cable goes into (pics below) is a bit...
Hello CUCVRUS!
I ordered and installed side channels for the tailgate window and channel caps. It now rolls up and down very nicely.
The channel that the glass sits in is still bent on one side. It doesn’t seem to be affecting it. I do have a new channel and rubber strip for that window.
I...
I have reassembled things temporarily, I’m waiting on a few new parts from LMC. I rolled it up and locked it all for now. I’m also waiting for the can of oil you recommended to arrive. Thank you again for all of your help sir. I’ll report back once I have at it again.

p.s. I bought this to lube the back of my speedometer. I’m thinking I can use it on the tailgate parts too. Do you have any ideas for oil?

Yea, after I got to thinking I looked at my photos. I decided to just leave the piece off for now. I already ordered new side window channels. I’m waiting for them to arrive. The left one I have is really bent. Thank you again sir. You’ve been so very helpful. I’ll report back soon.

The window wasn’t rolling up properly after I put things back together. So I started checking the tracks, etc. In the process I saw this pice sitting at the bottom on the tailgate. I also noticed something else, the spring in hanging down in one end. Any idea where the piece goes and where to...
Scratch that! I figured it out. I had to put the metal pole end into the plastic hole first, then snap the plastic o to the pole. I was doing it backwards!! I should still replace or fix that rubber wheel right?
Thank you again CUCVRUS!!

I have to admit I’m lost and it’s not working. I’ve tried different things, but I just don’t get it. I placed the rod into the plastic, turning it different ways. Still it doesn’t stay in the plastic and the tailgate isn’t working (opening).
I’m not Mr. Mechanic, sorry for that. I literally...
I just received the box of assorted clips. I’m going to take a look in the tailgate, hopefully in the morning. I hope I can figure out how to hook the rod into the clip. I’ll send an update soon.

Hello Again CCCVRUS! Thank you for all of this information and the link. I’m going to order them now. If you are able to please take any photos I would greatly appreciate it. I’m still getting familiar with where everything goes.

This is all great information sir! I thank you I thank you! I will give you an update once I have one. By the way, I read your posting on all of the work you did on you M1009. Wow! That’s quite a journey! You certainly are mechanically inclined! I need a neighbor like you!
Take care and thank...
Update: I finally got to the tailgate today. I believe I figured out why the window was sagging on the passengers side. The Window Sash is bent downwards on that side. See pic below. Should I purchase a new one via LMC? I’ve read that’s it’s difficult to attach a new sash to the Glass Setting...
