Hi all I'm in the Indy area and at 1 AM this morning a drunk driver hit both my car and my CUCV, Not worried about my car but I need to see if there is anyone in the area that I could hire to try and help me get my truck back together. It does still run but the fan blade in in the plastic shroud...

Hi All you Mechanic Guru's. I have a starting problem on my 1986 6.2L. If it were a gas engine I'd think it was a carburetor choke high idle problem. But have no clue on my diesel. It used to start almost immediately even at 0 degrees. Both batteries are fairly new. I turn the key half way...

Hi All, My fan motor switch has stopped working. It started out slowly not working and if I'd move it up and down it would start working. Now it has completely stopped. I have the dash pulled apart and cleaned all the connections but that didn't help. Then I thought duh maybe the fuse is blown...

Hi All my rear window was cranking down a little hard sometime for awhile and I just wiggled the glass and it cranked down ok. Not it just stops half way. Any thoughts on how to fix? Can I open the tailgate with window half way down to look inside?

OK wanted to know how many have driven a stock M1009 through water. How deep were you in and did you do anything afterwards? I've gone through about 24 inches of water and no issues.

Hi All, I'm hearing some kind of transmission noise when I start to take off but stops after I get moving. No shakes or anything though. I believe it's from the torque converter? Have a few questions. 1. If it is the torque converter I'm really not going to hurt anything else right if I keep...

Hi All, I'm going to be pulling a 14,000 capacity 2 axle trailer with gravel in it about 10 miles. Wanted to see how much weight others have pulled a short distance like this. We're in Central Indiana so won't be going over any hills at all. Don't plan on having it full by any means just looking...

Hi all, Hoping for some advise from some experts on here. I have not used the 4 wheel drive in over a year. Last time it worked fine but now when I locked the front hubs in they lock in OK but the front tires are definitely not working. I got into a wet area and the back tires were spinning but...

Hi this is my second winter with my M1009 in Indianapolis. Last winter I drove it everyday so I used the block heater daily. Now I might only be driving it once or twice a month. Just wondered what others thought about not running the block heater unless I know I'm going to drive it the next...

I've had my M1009 for a year now. No starting problems even in the dead of winter in Indiana. I'm sure Block heater helps that. Here's my question. I've read you should replace the fuel filter every 2 years. Not sure when it was replaced last but have been told the Doc that had it in Lafayette...

Howdy everyone. My son , Magicman, took me 4 wheeling at Badlands in Attica IN for Fathers Day. He has a M1009 also. We had a blast.

Hi Everyone, I'm looking to add a HAM radio to my truck. Mine doesn't have the antenna bracket on either side. Does anyone know where I can buy one? thanks W9CRD

Hi All, I searched the forum and didn't find anything about this. My question is if you have to pull someone out from being stuck is there any difference if you pull them where you are going forward or pull them where you are going in reverse? I have a stock 1986 M1009. Just wondered which way...

Hi All, I'm thinking about adding a cargo rack to my M1009. I'm looking on Amazon at a CURT 18115 Roof Mounted Cargo Rack. Then probably adding the CURT 18117 Roof Mounted Cargo Rack Extension on it. I plan on adding some reinforcement to the back mount since it's going into fiberglass. Just...

I just spent 15 minutes trying to get the diesel out of a yellow plastic can. Those stupid nozzles are about useless. What have others used to replace that stupid nozzle? I need to buy one that actually works. Thanks
