If you look for theoil requirements: On the dip stick is the quality requirement stamped in, if it is the original one. 15W40 HD SF/CD is good enough, SG/CE is also ok, changing intervall is under normal conditions 5000 miles. Purolator offers fitting filters, check the oil filter section in you...

I used Rancho HD shocks for about 14 years under my M1009 and never had any problems with them. However, they are a little more expensive than 8$ each. Wolf To my oppinion, an 8 $ shock can not be a good quality!

And more!

Some more!

Last weekend was a meeting in Stessel, Lux. Here some pics. Wolf

The forque definately has nothing to do with the clutch. So I can tell only this. My books do not get deeper in those subjects. Wolf

No objections you paint your truck in CARC. Remenber, it is epoxide, do not grind it down without heavy breathing proitection. Do not wacs the clothes used together with other clothes. Avoid breating of any kind of dust of that kind of colour while working with it. Sooner or later this CARC will...

Ican not join the meeting for atleast two reasons: Fist I have to work half of the days in question, and second it is too far away. Sorry! Wolf

I agree, do the job now, get the rotten radiator rebulit. You have two advantages: First an new radiator core, and second the cooling will improve for the up to date radiator core is of the state of t art and not of the 50's stile and efficiancy. And you will be trouble free for at least the...

All of you are correct from your point of view. However, the only problem technically is the somewhat to low flywheel inertia weight with regard to the truck weight. Else the engine is for it's time a very modern design! When I first restored my truck in 1980 until 1982 the original engine was...

According to the manual the M416A1 trailer is the correct one. However, traileres with brake may have a gross weigtht up to 2000 lbs without any technically troubble for the M1009. Everything larger is not intended for the gearing, even on short terms it is possible. But with the rear axle...

Once upon a time ther were three whellers and five wheelers made by a company called John Deere just made to military requests and tested in nFort Brag. Later these vehicles were considered to be unsafe(danger of tipping over in turns). So, the conclusion was to design a new model for that, the...

Brake cleaner also will be fine. Never use aceton or simmelar, it will eat the insulation of the wires! However, a solution made of water and dish washing soap or washing pouder also is a nice cleaner for these contain tensides with remove grease / fat and are not harmfull for any kind of paint...

For me the best is the ATF Dingo 2, not to heavy, a very good chassis with a mine prove body, as proved in Afganistan. Wolf

Carglas. They have stock, however, it takes 2 or three weeks. Wolf

MarcM35A2, tolle Bilder. Ich war 2009 auch dort, aber nicht im Gelände. Das Schlammbad war Gelände 2, richtig?! Aber viel Arbeit zu Hause, die Bremsen auskehren, gell? To the others: Do not try this with a Deuce, they will fail. Kat's are still the best Off Road trucks around this world, even...

There is a nice video on U-tube about the brake test of on of these vehicles, the force protectíon vehicle. Have a look on that. Wolf

The lightning system in Europe is somewhat different than in the US. So we useually can not shwich on the lights without the ingition in on position. Tag means that your brake light and the direction indicators should work. 1 means as said above that the front and rear position light works...

I right now have at least an overview of my modell collection. Here some pices. Wolf

What was painted on the engine hood? The late series of the M151 (especially those with the insert for the front direction indicators, used the serial number also as registration number. Normally there should be one on the plates, however most the time by this and that way made unreadably. On...
