    M1009 Runs Cold

    Temp probe is working properly. Gauge shows 140* at most and the hose feels like hot water from the faucet. I can keep my hands on it.

    M1009 Runs Cold

    Recently put in a temp gauge and sensor, replacing the idiot light sensor. Found that my truck runs cold. Temp never goes above 140*F. Even after extended periods of driving around the city. Ambient temp is 60-70s so it's not like it's too cold outside. My brother's 1008 runs around 180F. Is...

    14b on a M1009 Issue

My original driveshaft + u-joint fits perfect into the yoke on...

    14b on a M1009 Issue

    Putting a 4.5" rear lift on my 1009 with a 14b axle. The bolts that hold the u joint strap are contacting the end of the driveshaft and preventing it from turning. We are thinking we need to use shims to make the yoke point up a little to solve this issue. I am wondering if anyone has any...
