    Stopped by the NCSHP

    NC law pertaining to antique vehicles says nothing about GVWR or size. http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/enactedlegislation/statutes/pdf/bysection/chapter_105/gs_105-330.9.pdf BTW, look on the ticket and find the specific statue that he says you broke. Then look it up on the NC statutes website and...

    Stopped by the NCSHP

    The 4k GVWR is not even within the weight of most antique passenger cars. Is there any doubt that a 57 Cadillac would weight in close to 6k?

    Converting M1009 front differential to Pos--trac style

    I don't think I'll be doing many burnouts in a CUCV with a 6.2L diesel engine. :roll: Also, can I do it without removing the carrier? It looks like a booger getting the carrier shims back in.

    ****, out bid Again

    Surprisingly, if you have the direct link to a GL auction, it will be good for several days. You can't access it any other way though.

    Converting M1009 front differential to Pos--trac style

    Thanks for all the info. From what I have read in the TM, the only adjustments I have to worry about is the gear lash to get the carrier centered.

    Converting M1009 front differential to Pos--trac style

    So, I'm looking to replace the open differential in the front axle of my M1009 with a limited slip differential and have a few questions. Seems to be a fairly cheap mod with used diffs going for $100 or so. First, how many splines does the front axle shaft have? Second, can I reuse the stock...

    m1009 spare rim?

    They are worth what an informed person not under duress would pay for them. My son seems to have a hard time understanding this concept when he wants to sell a car.

    The old type with the handle parallel to the floor or the new type? I don't know if the cables are interchangeable.

    6.2 locked up

    I see two possibilities. 1) engine hydro locked. Solution, remove glow plugs and see if it cranks. If it does, it will probably force fuel/water/oil out of the offending cylinders. 2. Interference with flywheel. Remove inspection plate and look.

    no electrics

    No, check for tightness and corrosion. You can still measure voltage with a multimeter on a loose connection.

    no electrics

    Check grounds and power connections to the distribution block in the engine compartment.
