the speedo cable is supposed to be lubed with thick axle grease. Unless your PO put something else in there?

replace the whole thing. Its not expensive

Is your high idle / cold advance kicking on when you start it? You'll need to depress the pedal slightly to get it to stay on. Mine always smokes on cold mornings, but idles smooth one the cold advance is on. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

Did you just let the plug dangle in the grill? Or set up a clean looking plug somewhere? Also, anyone have a particular brand or type of antifreeze they use? Walmart has a -50* rated one but it has bad reviews.

Walmart also has 800cca batteries ($120 each) with a 5 year warranty. Switched to these a few years ago, no issues I agree, check your glow plug system Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

I knew I built an AR in .458 for something! Put that built in rifle rack to work Thank you for the tips [emoji74] Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

From your description I don't see any issues. I've adjusted mine to also shift at 15 and 35. Are the shifts rough or causing concern somehow? Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

I moved all my gauges up here, it's just a 1/8" aluminum sheet. If/when I ever add A/C it's going to vent out through that bezel you're looking for. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

Thought up another question: Chains needed? Rear wheels or all 4? I have 37" Humvee tires. Will a limited slip or locker in the front diff help? I have no experience with chains Thank you for replies Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

I have seen posts of people mixing in 10-25% gasoline into their diesel to combat gelling and ease starting at the low Alaskan winter temps. Anyone with experience in this? Also... Diesel number 1. Is that a thing up north? I've never seen it anywhere I've lived. Sent from my LM-G710 using...

I'm not understanding the purpose of the 205* thermostat. I have a 190* in right now and it never even gets close to that on these chilly 40* days Are there any other ways of heating the engine (or ensuring it starts) aside from the swingfire when the car is parked away from a power source...

Thanks for showing your post: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/1986-cucv-m1009-decade-after-being-wrecked.173878/page-19#post-2220456 Would you be able to describe where you installed it? I'm not able to tell from your pictures Oh wait just kidding. that looks like the oil pan on the side :)

So I just found out I'm getting sent to Alaska, most likely towards the end of this year. I want to get ahead of the game and prep my m1009 for the cold. I found Jatonka's grille cover, going to get that. Plug in block heater, shouldn't be too hard to install. But is there a specific one I...

Don't think I posted this yet. But made a diy control/gauge cluster a few months ago. Mostly to have the tachometer in my line of sight while driving. It's a 1/8" aluminum sheetmounted with some fat washers through the dashboard. Its labeled so wifey can drive the truck properly when she needs...

@emeralcove It is lifted, 4" on the front and 5" on the back. Offroaddesign sells the kit configured for any amount of lift (or none). If you have specific questions to their kit you can call them, they'll talk you through it. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk

Installed off-road design's crossover steering (including new steering box) and kingpin spring eliminators. Steering previously was super loose and crooked. (Think 80s truck driver movies) These kits fixed it right up. It's a world of difference. Very little slop now on the steering, and it's...

Is this still a thing? I'm new to Benning. Sent from my LM-G710 using Tapatalk
