Those tires are more aggressive than what's on my Kubota tractor. How are they for over the road at some speed?

Vicky is reaching out telling you to take it easy. Glad to see you're taking some recovery time.

Nice. What about the tow hitch?

Groupe 31 is the way to go. Any brand would be just fine. They are a used in many of the over the road trucks and are very dependable. I used "off the shelf" NAPA brand for my ride, and they have been in my M1009 since 2013 and still going strong. Expect to pay about $150 each and I strongly...

Also, you did such a great wash/wax job on your truck you can do mine too.

Rick, Now if I can talk you into a road trip you can come up and reorganize my basement workshop. I'm so ashamed, it hasn't been done in over ten years.

I still think that painting the original differential cover an orange/red would have given you better results:giggle:

Sorry for your pain. That nice, bright diff cover is not as shiny as when you first "eyed it" now is it.

It must be that ROYAL PURPLE you used is so slippery that the gears are flying out and rubbing the back of the cover.:oops: There goes your MPGs.:(

ROYAL PURPLE PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES Maximizes horsepower Extends gear and bearing life Reduces operating temperature Lower coefficient of friction Superior corrosion protection Separates rapidly from water For use with open, limited-slip and locking differential Contains limited-slip friction...

That should make your ride run better. If not, like you said, it will complement your bushings.;)

Great job. What's with the blue mounting hardware?

The injector lines have been known to crack at the pump connection from overtightening. They may also crack from vibration if the lines are not properly supported or seated in the clamps on the valve covers. I had fuel leaks dripping in the valley as you do. When I inspected closely, I found a...

This is a 12-year-old thread. citizensoldier hasn't been on the site since February.

Try taking the low coolant sensor out of the radiator and clean it. Also clean the wire connection. You will most likely have to remove the front battery to get to the sensor. It solved my idiot light flashing problem.

Welcome aboard. You will find tons of goodness and info on this site. Things to do while fixing your ride: Search. search, search, the post. Read, read, read, your TMs. Ask, ask, ask, questions. And when looking for or ordering parts, order for a 1984 not a 1986. The military specked them...

How was it in Tahiti? I hear the beaches are beautiful. I have to ask though; how did you get your "Gun Truck" down there?

If you have the space, I would keep it with the 1009 in case the next owner "if there is one" wants it to be original. If not, you can always "pay it forward" or sell it to the members here on this site.

You will pass by my place when you turn south onto co rt 31 towards the State Park. Another member "Zebedee" is a few miles north of US rt 20 on 31. He's into the British and European trucks. A nice rally/swap meet is the Military Transport Association of NJ (MTA). It's in Northwestern NJ in the...

Get that thing to pass inspection and you can take it for its maiden road trip to Cooperstown and see the hall of famed inductees this Sunday. Make sure you pack your mattress because all the motels and hotels are all booked up. I heard that security has been increased this year and they will...
