I once drove a truck 450 miles to a buyer in the Dallas area. He rejected it based on an issue I had told him about, bed damage on a pickup, taken photos of and discounted the truck accordingly. I sent him video of the truck running and photos of about everything on the truck. It was exactly as...

One side is left handed thread. They are very similar to a 3/4 ton, only the parts are heavier. Should take a 3 inch 8 sided socket, but a buddy has one with 6 sided nuts. Not sure why his is different. When I bought my spindle socket set, I got both in the set. Glen

The glow and fuel systems are the biggest problems on the M1009. Some people seem to have charging issues. As a driver though, they are very hard to beat. Good on fuel, easy to maintain, reliable and fun to drive. As long as you are not wanting to run 36 inch tires or plan to go rock crawling, a...

Thanks! That hound of yours is stunning, those traditionally marked long haired dogs are really beautiful. We had one as a K-9 here, only it had no friendly bones. That was one hyper-protective animal that loved to bark. I saw two in one of our parks today, playing disc golf. I almost took some...

They sit a little closer together than normal, but we get along...

You could always extend the front end and run a hood scoop!

I finally got me deuce and my boys love it!

I did observe a few things though, the deuce cab is not as wide open as the M1008 and shifting with a dog that thinks he needs to look out of my side of the windshield is a little different. The seat bottom is not as deep and they kept sliding their front feet off of the front of it. Having 220...

I guess the fear of being left behind overcame the fear of the rattling truck. The boys crawled up in there today, now the own it! ;) I knew they would decide the cab was too good to resist. I left the door open and they were both standing on the back legs looking in. Pretty soon Buddy tried...

If you can get close enough to the M1009 with the deuce to recover the M1009. I find that my M1009s are pretty nimble and capable off road. I have not been in much mud with my deuce yet, but I can tell it pushes the front tires horribly and the NDTs do not climb out of ruts very well, leaving...

If you need a break on your way through, give me a call and I will meet you. Depending on the hour of course. Glen

If they will set it in my deuce, I would gladly haul it to Salina for you. I have a buddy in the crane business here, I am sure we could store it at his lot with a lot of like equipment until you get this way. Glen

I am not involved and I am way out of that circle, but I thank you for your willingness to assist others. Glen

My M1009 had the same symptoms and the same filter base problem, I picked up a couple on Ebay. Glen

Heck with the trailer...that is one sweet looking deuce! Fort Riley has a nice area to pull of into and secure loads, air tires, etc... They seem pretty casual about that corner lot across from the GL Office. I am sure if somebody caught you spilling fluids, they would speak up. Nice to hear of...

Grab a filter wrench for the primary filter. They are smaller than a standard Chevrolet V8 oil filter wrench. I had two in my tool box at home, but failed to bring one for my recovery and it cost me a 100 dollar service call. I would also recommend all three fuel filters with a second spare...

The Pups got their first ride today. I picked up Sir and put him in the bed, then tied him in. Buddy tried to jump in and went over backwards. He landed on his back in the street. He was walking around on his back legs trying to figure out how to get in. I need to figure out a way for the dogs...

If you need help in central Kansas, be sure to give me a shout. I have lots of friends in the area, you are welcome to bunk a night here if you need a place to layover. Not the fanciest place around, but the price is right. Glen

On the top left of the fuel filter block is a little thumb wheel. On the top of the actual pump is a heavy pink wire. Unplug the pink wire and have somebody crank the engine while you bleed of air at the thumb wheel. When you get the filter block purged, plug the pink wire in and try to start...

I put another 240 miles on the old girl today, I returned all of my borrowed merchandise and fixed the shut down cable, made a tag bracket, cleaned a bunch of junk out of the cab... The dogs would not climb in, I let them mill around for a while, I may need a ramp! Glen
