    it looks like the driver side axle mount is pushed back

    What I plan on doing is this: Get the bottle jack from the LMTV jack up the body high enough and secure with a large jack stand. Get two c clamps put them on the springs. Losen the U-clamp bolts. Take off the sway bar at the frame. Take off the drive side wheel. Use another jack to support...

    it looks like the driver side axle mount is pushed back

    What if i start by checking the spring locating pin first? If it is sheered the i know that i have an issue right there. Do i have to clamp the springs or can i take the u bolts off with weight on the axle and peak under the top bracket?

    How do you stop a m809 if the brakes fail?

    Oh yeah i remember seeing brakes like that on mud trucks. I think they do that as the wheel brakes usually are wet and full of dirt. That sounds like a great option. I gotta google that.

    Trying to chase the cause of offset steering wheel.

    I noticed that one side of the axle in my truck seens to be slid back slightly . Maybe a 18 inch and my steering wheel is not straight center, either. Could the axle shift be the reason? And how do i fix it?

    New to me 1009 will not start

    Probably in the same location this person has his installed . If it is installed before the fuel filter, it will prevent the filter to lose its prime.

    New to me 1009 will not start

    I would suspect the mechanical lift pump. There is a reservoir on top of the Injection Pump and maybe you burned off the fuel that was in there by idling the engine for 20 mins. There is a short fuel line that goes into the Injection Pump, I would replace that for a clear one. Then you can...

    How do you stop a m809 if the brakes fail?

    What do you mean when you say rebuilt? I have seem some trucks that had the year 1985... or even a 1988 m813a1. Did AM General really build these trucks for that long? I thought it was 1982 when production stopped. Are you saying that 1982 trucks were taken, rebuild and then used a a 1988? thx

    First Post, hoping for some starter help...

    First you clean all ground connections and put dielectric grease on all contact surfaces. Then you test and charge both batteries . Then you test the ignition solenoid or better replace it with a different model from napa. Then you test the ignition switch , replace if necessary. Disconnect the...
