Go buy 17 more. Problem solved.

Did you notice any damaged teeth on the flexplate or starter? I'd look for cracks in the FP. I assume you checked all the other bolts. But once the flexplate starts to wobble it gets progressively louder. I ended up replacing my 6.2 due to the problems with the crank end. I also put on a...

If you got it out than you weren't really stuck.

What about an aftermarket soft top. Anybody put one on an m1009?

Anybody ever put an aftermarket soft top on a m1009?

Looks good as is but I would cover the cowling Turbo banks stuff and add a more mil looking stencil.

Wow. I am paying $300Cdn./mo and it is not as a daily driver either. I was just thinking about shopping around for cheaper insurance the other day too. Now I know I have too.

The power wire down to the starter is very tight. Be sure it is not grounding out down there. You may also have overtightened the starter lug and broke it??

Not much of a test but the Henry Ford Museum is awesome, as is anywhere around Mackinaw

The outer edge is rounded. I am thinking of building it up with some weld and then grinding it down. Don't really want to replace the engine because it runs and starts so good. Maybe dstang is right. The torque converter may be wobbling (it is a rebuild) and causing this stress on the...

Problem appears to be with the end of my crankshaft. It is warn and rounded over and does not give a good seat for the flexplate to sit against. I need to replace the crankshaft, or I am going to have to get another engine (350 gasser?) or another 6.2. Has anyone ever replaced a crank on these...

All bolts were tight (used loctite last time). Flexplate is breaking all the way around the bolts (like a big donut), almost like the starter is putting too much load on and causing shear. But there is no problem with the teeth on the starter or the flexplate. Torque converter seems good...

You can always hear the sound. You can even hear it when the starter is turning it over. When the flex plate first starts to break you will not hear it when you gun the engine. When it was under load you don't hear it but coasting down hills, what a racket. There not that expensive $90. I...

Thanks all. I will take a look this weekend. The brace is on the starter. I'll have to investigate the alignment issue further. The sound is like a scraping/rattling sound. When it first happened I thought a exhaust manifold had broke/cracked. That was not the issue and it just gets worse...

Will do dmc-4359. I'll take a better look at the engine and tranny mounts. I'm also going to add a block heater. I think that the way I start it in the winter (visor instructions) is rough on the starter and the flexplate.

My flexplate is going again. I can hear it. This is the second one this year. Has anyone ever put any sort of stiffner or reinforcing bracket on their flexplates? I read here where a guy suggested it but there was no followup on wether it solved the problem. Could a bad harmonic balancer...

I run 33"x10.5 with no lift and no fender trimming. We offroad here on the farm and I haven't noticed any rubbing.

I put 33"-10.5 with no lift.

Blackhuey, what does the stenciling say on your passenger door?

Direct link would be great. Canadian information is always great.
