    Correct Belts for M1008 and M1009

    In the past I bought a rebuilt alt and it came with a larger pully/fan, on that particular vehicle it didn't make a differance but could some one in the past have done that? It's not that big of a deal just take the belt back and ask for one 1" larger, 1" is a lot on belts!

    Parts Compatibility Question - Bench Seats

    Yes they do fit, I know this for a fact. On some of the early years the seat back is just a bit taller and it may hit the rifle mounts, the bigger problem is that on the 70s modles the seat belts came up thru the gap between the bottom and the back instead of having the plastic grommit thru the...

    Fill drilled holes in m1009 roof

    If you don't want to buy the gun talk to the guys at auto paint supply, they sell the stuff and the guns but also may still have one the salesmen use for promotion you might be able to use the for a deposit and the cost of the adhesive. If that fails they could probably steer you to a small shop...

    How to determine what this transfer case fits.

    Not as a direct drop in replacement, but with the right parts and knowledge it's possible. Seeing as you had to ask I'd recommend you pass.

    Valve Cover Sealant

    Did about the same thing to remove a round lead ball stuck in a .54cal muzzle loader that had already had a screw broken off in it from a ball puller.

    Valve Cover Sealant

    I like Permatex too, I usaully apply it and assamble the parts but leave the bolts loose for awhile (sometimes overnight) then tighten them up, that way I seem to get a good seal without squishing it all out and bottoming out bolts. I never heard about the valve cover bolts cracking heads!

    My 1031

    I think you could fit a few more lights on it if you try. You have been busy! You should post a decription of what the pic show, some of it I have no idea what it is.

    Alternator repalcement

    It's been a long time since I messed with anything that had an external voltage regulator but it sounds like porkysplace is right.

    Tail Pan Replacement

    Ahh don't do that, you'll regret it later. You have the bed off might as well do it all at once. To find the welds try using a wire wheel in a drill and strip down the flanges, the welds will jump out at you and be easily seen, using a stone grind off one layer of metal. When you've done that...

    M1009 fuel contamination

    If you changed the tank AND flushed the lines at the same time it has to be the fuel you are getting. Do you get it mostly at the same place? I never NEVER get fuel at small mom-pop type stations anymore, I had a bad tankfull from one once and that was enough. But the real question is why have...

    M1009 wont start/no crank

    Well if it just clicks some times and starts other times I'd be looking for a bad connection. Starting at the batteries I'd clean all the connections and terminals, then before hooking them back up I'd do the starter terminals and check to see if the solenoid is making a good connection. Chances...

    Tail Pan Replacement

    Only time I've ever changed any of the cross pieces the bed was off and I flipped it up side down and ground the welds off and rewelded it that way, overhead welding SUCKS!! Have you ever had a red hot spark bounce down inside your ear canal, if so you know why I flipped the bed.

    Proper Floor pans for the M1009

    More than likely you'll end up having to use the AM' fits none' and that's where a hammer/dolly and snips come in handy. An English wheel ? Really CUCVUS I doubt that that anymore than 1 in 20 body men have the faintest idea of whet that is and even fewer know how to use it! It truly is a lost...

    M1009 Exposed fiberglass hard-top

    Easier than bondo or mat and resin, go to an auto paint supplier and get some Gel coat. Gel coat is what is applied to the mold before the fiberglass, gel coat is sandable and paintable and is available in some colors or even tintable. Its high build and easy to use and requires little surface...

    Rear wheels stuck on

    A heavy dead blow hammer works good and rarely damages the wheel, could also try loosening the nuts and heat the wheel in the center.

    OD Green Paint

    A while back I saw some guy on fleabay selling OD green enamel, I don't remember much about it but it was decently priced and he said it's "the real deal" other than that I got nothing for you

    Steering wheel questions

    Never had that happen but to center the wheel is easy, just loosen the lock clamps on the drag link and with the engine running and the wheels straight turn the adjusting sleeve until the steering wheel is straight. Don't forget to lock down the clamps!
