Yeah, I thought it would be a pretty standard tool too. The guys at the local O'Reilly's have given me two incorrect tools thus far. Maybe the third time is the charm? Or maybe I should try NAPA/Autozone and see what they can do.

Does anyone have advice on where to get the tools required to tear down the front hubs on my M1009? I've seen several threads of guys getting their M1009s with bearings in need of attention so I really want to take mine out, inspect them, and repack them. Per the manual, I need Nut wrench...

I like BFG AT T/A KO's. 33x12.5R15.

You, sir, are living the dream.

I think I'm better at Rubiks Cube than Rear Window Lock Cylinder. That said, I did manage to get mine changed out and inserted correctly such that it doesn't just fall out. The lock cylinder itself is held in (somehow) with the pawl and pawl spring. When you insert the lock cylinder and...

Looking good! You'll have to let us know how that Herculiner turns out. I'm courious to know if it has any noticable impact on sound in the cab.

Those are "bumper numbers" not the actual vehicle's VIN. All our trucks had the unit on the left side and a truck (or track) number on the right side. I served with Delta Battery, 216th Air Defense Artillery so on the left was stenciled "D 216 ADA". On the right, we our trucks were numbered...

I had the exact same thing on one of my M1009s. The modulator and everything was fine but the vacuum line was completely gone. Very nice improvement for a couple dollars worth of vacuum line!

Ouch!

Just out of curiosity... how much did the dealer want for the part?

Do not use starting fluid.

Be sure to post back if you find a good source on those regulators - I'd be interested in a spare :)

:ditto: -- except that I would like mine to run on a toggle switch.

... but I bet you can wait for your LMC parts shipping bill! Over 20% of my total order was shipping. Pretty sad when the parts weighed less than half a pound and sent via USPS. Short story: LMC charges through the nose for shipping.

:ditto:

Also O'Reilly Auto carries the door lock set (black) under LOC DL15250 for just under $17.

So I'm doing some maintenance on my M1009 rear window stuff. Maintenance includes a new regulator clutch, replacement lock cylinder, and rigging up some sort of felt lining for the glass channels. After about an hour I finally figured out how to get the lock cylinder out. I swore enough...

It is not a foregone conclusion that the price of oil will go nowhere but up. Making an investment founded on the principal that prices will never go down is a recipe for disaster. Think housing bubble.

Personally, I would not bother changing the glowplugs unless one (or more) of them tests bad. The testing procedures are in the TM, but the cliff notes are check the resistance on each with an ohmmeter. Better advice yet: download the TMs if you don't have them and go through a full PMCS.

Wow. Sounds like I should be asking more for my M1009 when I sell it :)
