Anyone know of a cheap source for these? I want to hard wire my dash this type socket.

I have a bid in on an used speed-o-meter, but am curious. Anyone know of a source for replacement needles for when ham handed backyard mechanics (like me), break one off?

Now that I've got gauges, I see my oil pressure at 50 when it's cold, thirty five warm and going down the road, and 15-20 at idle. My cold weather water temp is 140, Gen one voltage is always about 2 volts higher than gen 2. Being sixteen to 14 generally. Do these seem normal?

Broke down and broke down the CV joint today. Looks like there should be a grease seal over the little ball and cup thats in the center of the whole thing, is that right? Mine is missing, but may have burnt off when I heated it to loosen the ujoint caps. Also, mine being a M1009, it looks...

Where can I find really long fm antenna's? Looking for something like the cb radio guys used to run.

Here's pics of my wiring and gauges thus far.

Spent the whole day trying to figure out why my light wiring isn't right, Turns out now the running and headlights quite also, and melted a fuse. The light switch went bad. Gonna be driving the Escort wagon to work. On the plus side, the gauges work.

What type add on filters do you all like, for the transmission, fuel and power steering? My power steering may end up having to power my winch. I did get four fuel filter off the evil-bay. Bought a couple oil filters. Looking into these other filters, as I want everything to last awhile. Do...

Anyone have or know of a diagram of the dash board printed circuit, and a list of what wire does what in the plug that plugs into it? The plug is numbered 1 through 18, so it seems there would be a listing of the function of each. I've printed all the wiring diagrams, but don't see any of this.

Got a water temp gauge in, placed an oil pressure gauge and two voltage gauges in the dash also, all where the dummy lights were. Put an oil temp gauge in place of the old voltage gauge. Had another temp gauge to place beside it, for the transmission, but it didn't work. Figured out how to...

It passed. Whew. While up on the lift several mechanics commented on how new everything looked. No weak spots anywhere. Exhaust like new, u-joints and steering linkages like new. Brakes like new. New shocks. No leaks, and a spotless engine. Fuel tank not rusty, All in all, very pleased...

Got that "water in fuel" warning light on. Whats the going price on filters? Is it cost effective to install a spin on filter instead? If so, what about the sensor(s)? Lastly, I'd like to install pressure gauges, electric, one pre, and one post filter, to monitor filter condition. Any idea's?

I bypassed the blackout light switch. Now, and possibly before doing so, it sometimes fails to illuminate any headlights when I try to go from one beam, hi or low, to the other. Once in a while I'll only get one headlight to work instead of both. I'm thinking the dimmer switch might be going...

I tried to find the wiring diagram. but the old site bounces me back here. Trying to find the hi and lo beam wires coming out of the column.

If I want to be able to bypass the glowplugs, like to have the key on, truck not running, without the glowplugs cycling, would I extend the blue wire and put a switch in it?

Will that amp draw run a battery down. I'm thinking not, that's likely just my radio's memory function, but seems worth asking. I bypassed the blackout light switches. Actually just the one with six prongs. I had to run two jumpers, one for all the regular lights, and one for the brake lights...

I see some old timers used kerosene heaters under their hoods on really cold nights. I'm thinking the same might a feasible answer to my problem, and one I can afford. If I insulate the engine compartment with that fiber, aluminum faced insulation, make a tarp type front bra, and keep the...

Should I be worrying about the 10 bolt axles in my 1009? Is it worthwhile to add a gov-lok to the front one? How good is the 208 transfer case? I do a few car hauler type tows a year, about three hours at a time.

Looking for a good either injector, like they use on farm tractors, for cold starting. I will rig a manual glowplug warmer, and install this. The 1009 was balky today at 0 degrees, we see -40 at times. Also, the manual glow plug install sticky should be brought forward from the old site. Also...

Mine is broken and hanging. What is it, where does it go? Had the beast out today and ran it about 50 miles, used 3/8ths of a tank, is that normal?
