I'm lost, my spelling and grammar......but I trying my best......
If you all write slowly, I can understand the most......LOL
Speaking for myself and probably a lot of others on this site, your spelling and grammar is better than mine. Lets try the reversal; exprexesedortch ?
Rick, did you re-purpose the leftover desert tan paint or was that color stock from Honda? Now you just need a CUCV brush guard and LED lights and you can make deliveries at night.
You all are just to funny. And if your going to blame it on Alaska Ill up the anti; We should blame it on Russia. Putin must be messing with our weather.
I agree with Gimpy. I had my truck plugged in to a outlet with switch and when I woke up in the morning I just flipped the switch on. By the time it took me to get ready leave, the truck motor was good and warm.
As seen in your photo it looks like you have a bad case of "the poor man's rust proofing" going on. A lot of oil says you have some seals leaking; thus the need to add tranny fluid.
I did weld all the antenna holes shut on both sides of the body and will close the holes on the fiberglass top when I get that far.
Rick,
When you plug those holes in the fiberglass top you can send me those antenna wire grommets. I can use two of the originals to complete my radio/antenna...
You'll do just fine with that size load behind your M1009. Make sure your load is balanced and you have some weight on the tongue, don't do anything stupid like take it on the interstate at 70 mph while speed plowing or tailgating. Watch your hills in Pa. and don't pull it around in real rough...
I agree with wheelspinner, Its worth what you want to pay. I bought my 1009 as a beater for $2,500 back in 2011 but started to fix it up because I love that truck so much. With all the military accessories I added, I now have about $5,000 in it and it sits in the front driveway just for show...
Sounds like your son is not telling you the whole story. How much mudding did he do? How deep in the mud did he get? Was he racing the engine while stuck? It could be a simple thing or multiple of things causing the issues.
As Tinstar noted about your brake fluid leak. If you go back to your photos you posted of your 1009 you can see the leak on your inner fender. This is most likely your source of the oily spots on your tailgate. You also may want to look on the back side of your front differential, the photo...
Not all true.
Mine apparently only leaked while running and under pressure. I never had hard starting issues, that's why when I saw the drips in the driveway I assumed it was oil.
