Added 3 gallons used motor oil to 20 gallons of diesel fuel and drove it 400 miles from Fallon Nevada to Lemoore California no problems at all. Averaged 21.7 MPG.

If it is not bad why are you changing it? I would not change it, if you insist hold onto it as a spare.

Took the 99 to the 80 out of Sacramento, over to Reno, then down. No photos. It did use a half qrt of oil, but some of the passes I had to drop it into 2nd and had it floored just to maintain 45MPH. So the 1/2 Qrt does not concern me to much.

Well arrived, took 9 hours due to traffic, no issues. It was a dog on the hills, but that was expected. Did use about 3/4 qrt of oil. not to bad all in all.

Heading out in a couple hours to drive from Lemoore CA to Fallon NV. The 1009 should do great. New spin on filter with spare, new belts with spares, spare injectors. Fresh wheel bearing and oil changes. Looking forward to some desert exploring in Fallon, any sugestions?

Took it Dove hunting, had the front end alingnged, changed oil, replaced the fuel pump. It is ready for the 350 mile trip to Fallon NV...

Thanks dog head. Didn't see the info on the nut. The airframe shop can make me a perfect copy with aircraft grade stock...

I had to replace the lift pump yesterday, and it was so corroded from years of service that the nut was seized, took 2 hours of break free, vice grips, and a hammer to get it off. I boogered up the nit pretty good, and while I was able to get it back on with no leaks, I would like to replace it...

Gottlos, I think you are a CALGUNNER to if I remember right. This will be my last event with the bullet button. Navy is parrolling me to TN!

Man I hope our detachment schedule lets me make it... this will be my last opportunity in CAR as I am transferring to Millington TN in Jan.

I would say you have a ground issue. That or the card. Ground is cheaper try that first.

Can you help with Navy gear?

That is a great story, congrats on the great find. Look forward to the pictures.

I did read the tm. I just misread it to say back of to align lock ring tabs, no more than 3/8 turn.

Well That was the problem. I have never used a torque wrench before always by feel, this time I decided to follow the book, but it seems the CA public school district did not teach me to read to good....

Sounds great, but I don't know of to many SS members in CA central Valley... Now in Jan when I move to Millington TN that will be a different story...

My head hurts. 2 Weeks ago I replaced the wheel bearings, but did not have a torque wrench. So the next weekend I acquired a wrench and re-torqued to spec(35 Ft Lbs.). The lock washer lined up on both sides at 35 pounds so all went back together. Wheels had a good amount of drag but that is...

Do you use a poll before you get dressed in the morning? Buy what you like, not what a random poll says.

This thread makes me wish I needed a glownplug card just so I had a reason to do business with antenna climber. Hats off to you antena climber. World would be a better place if everyone did businessnthis way.

Just about every day, it is only 15 miles round trip to work. I usually drive it in the morning, and home for luch, take the car back after lunch, it is over 100 degrees by then and the M1009 don't have A/C...
