    Front axles not working in 4 wheel drive

    Hi all, Hoping for some advise from some experts on here. I have not used the 4 wheel drive in over a year. Last time it worked fine but now when I locked the front hubs in they lock in OK but the front tires are definitely not working. I got into a wet area and the back tires were spinning but...

    M1009 roof rack

    Thanks. When you say solid at the rib points in the roof you mean this marked area right? I'm thinking about mounting my spare tire up there for now? Thanks and Merry Christmas to you also!!

    Run Block Heater 6.2L all the time?

    Hi this is my second winter with my M1009 in Indianapolis. Last winter I drove it everyday so I used the block heater daily. Now I might only be driving it once or twice a month. Just wondered what others thought about not running the block heater unless I know I'm going to drive it the next...

    Cucv fuel filter replacement or not?

    I've had my M1009 for a year now. No starting problems even in the dead of winter in Indiana. I'm sure Block heater helps that. Here's my question. I've read you should replace the fuel filter every 2 years. Not sure when it was replaced last but have been told the Doc that had it in Lafayette...

    Fuel Tank very slow leak and Fuel gauge not registering full

    The leak is at the back of the truck. With the metal plate on it's hard to tell exactly. My first thought is to get the metal plate off and see what I can see. Thanks for all the replies too.

    Fuel Tank very slow leak and Fuel gauge not registering full

    Hi All, I've read some of the forums about this but wanted to ask the community these questions. My 1986 M1009 didn't do this when I bought it a year ago but now after playing around 4 wheeling it has started. Wanted some opinions. 1. After my truck sits a day or 2 I get a very small wet spot...

    Clean engine compartment

    Howdy everyone. My son , Magicman, took me 4 wheeling at Badlands in Attica IN for Fathers Day. He has a M1009 also. We had a blast. Have some awesome video of water coming over the hood of my M1009 2 different time. She's like a Timex she took a licking and keeps on ticking. They had nothing we...

    Fuel Gauge Not Working

    Mine has worked since I got it last October. Then one day while driving down the road it started going crazy from full to empty. Now it's stuck right below half, driving or stopped. All other gauges work in dash. Guess it's time to get underneath and check out the ground then sending unit. Thanks

    The new EPA fuel cans suck!!!

    OK here's an update. The really strong glue I used to glue the red nozzle with the cap to the white tube failed. I'm now looking for a better plastic glue. Gonna try PVC glue. This part should never touch the Diesel fuel. Also gonna drill a small hone in the back top and use a gold tee so it...

    4 wheel drive low going forward or reverse which is better for pulling ?

    Thanks all. I like the idea of more things for a strap to go through and not hitting the radiator when puling from the rear. That's my plan from now on.

    The new EPA fuel cans suck!!!

    I did this also. Then I used a really strong glue to glue the white neck to the red neck. Diesel will never touch it so it should work fine. Then I sent the one back to Amazon that I was going to use.
