    Front axles not working in 4 wheel drive

    Actually I have not changed it but now am planning to as soon as spring hits. When I bought it they replaced the gasket so it was replaced then. I'll keep it in 2 wheel drive unless we get 3 or more inches of snow. If I go in 4 wheel I'll be going under 30 MPH. The new BF Goodrich All Terran...

    Front axles not working in 4 wheel drive

    Hi again. Wanted to give an update then ask another question. Because of the weather in the Indy area I hired someone to replace the right hub. He did and it works well now. But here's my problem now. Right after he replaced it I drove in some snow in 4 WD High and didn't go more than about 45...

    Front axles not working in 4 wheel drive

    cucvrus Thanks for the link. Since the passenger side axle was turning when I had the hub locked in when I turned the front drive shaft is there a chance its not bad or does it just need replaced? And if if I replace one side should I replace both at the same time?

    My NAPA says that part number is a radiator hone or a oil seal?

    Front axles not working in 4 wheel drive

    I haven't taken it apart yet but was planning on having the parts in hand in case it needs replaced. Is there a difference between the K5 Blazer part and a normal blazer? I assume there is? I tried NAPA and LMC Truck Parts and they don't have the front hub. Any idea where I might find the parts...

    Front axles not working in 4 wheel drive

    Hi All, OK with the transmission in 2 H I locked both front hubs in. I then turned the front driveshaft. The passenger side hub by the wheel turned a lot when I turned the driveshaft. The drivers side started to turn but barley moved. So I assume that's telling me there is a problem with the...

    Front axles not working in 4 wheel drive

    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...

    M1009 roof rack

    Thanks. When you say solid at the rib points in the roof you mean this marked area right? I'm thinking about mounting my spare tire up there for now? Thanks and Merry Christmas to you also!!

    Run Block Heater 6.2L all the time?

    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...

    Cucv fuel filter replacement or not?

    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...

    Fuel Tank very slow leak and Fuel gauge not registering full

    The leak is at the back of the truck. With the metal plate on it's hard to tell exactly. My first thought is to get the metal plate off and see what I can see. Thanks for all the replies too.

    Fuel Tank very slow leak and Fuel gauge not registering full

    Hi All, I've read some of the forums about this but wanted to ask the community these questions. My 1986 M1009 didn't do this when I bought it a year ago but now after playing around 4 wheeling it has started. Wanted some opinions. 1. After my truck sits a day or 2 I get a very small wet spot...
