    Terminus M1009

    Terminus M1009 done well today at Rausch Creek. I can't say the same for the tires. I had 3 of the 4 tires flat. Oh well. I still had a great time. I had 2 spares and had to use the spare out of Crown of Thorns M1009 to get home. it all worked out. Another day of fun in the warm October sun...

    4 Hour Oil Change

    Suppose I was really concerned about having clean oil. Hypothetically I could mount 3 oil filters on each side of the inner fender. I would have really clean oil. Like an LP gas engine. I would never have to change it. I would have about 12 qts in the system. Reminds me of back in the early...

    Blower Motor acting weird and now truck will not crank. M1008A1

    I have nothing to say about the starter relay. Yes a bad switch/plug for the fan can make the Gen 1 light. I would not worry about it as long as it is charging. Go do your work for the day and fix it on Monday. Also check the very top fuse in the fuse box. I had a good fuse ut it was a bit...

    Fall 2017 Rausch Creek Off Road Park

    Hey park over by my Terminus m1009. I will be back up in the morning. A couple other guys are there and a few went to hotels after parking their rigs. It is nice out tonight. Not cold and not windy. Calm and reasonable seasonal weather. Have a nice evening. I will be back in the AM. Nap time.

    Recommendations for exhaust replacement

    I have new dual exhaust front to back put on an M1009. It costs about $450-$500. That is drop it off and pick it up. Two years ago I dropped off Terminus and had 2 1/2" run the full length. M1028 run about the same. They hold up well. One and only 1 time. I had Stainless put on my M1009. $650...

    Blower Motor acting weird and now truck will not crank. M1008A1

    Checking the fan switch. That is the only thing you are missing. What starter relay went out? Fan switches are known for trouble. They get a bit loose and heat up at the connection.

    Oil cooler lines - Napa, build your own with AN fittings, or hack/rig the stockers?

    Do or do not. There is no try. Always done right the first time. Even when it's not done your way. It is a low pressure oil line. Hydraulic oil line and hose clamps will do the job for less then $20. I mean it works and your way would be great also. But most guys need inexpensive reliable...

    4 Hour Oil Change

    I use A C Delco 99% of the time. Last time I changed Terminus oil it was 2 gallons of Rotella T and a free Rotella oil filter. Good deal. I had some cores to return and ended up leaving with the oil , filter , and $40. more then I came with. It all worked out. Got the discount also.

    Fall 2017 Rausch Creek Off Road Park

    Sounds great. I will be up tonight. I have to get some lumber together. Looking forward to seeing you. 71m109a3 if the piggy back takes place I will be sure to share pictures. I think it would be fun. I am game as long as I don't scratch my differential cover bolts. One time my Son was in a demo...

    Fall 2017 Rausch Creek Off Road Park

    I may give this a try. I did ride in the back of a 5 ton. Remember? We were reported to the SS. This time I think we take the M1009 and strap it in the back of the 5 ton and go at it thru the trails. I have a set of ramps I can bring. Or just go to a hill and drive it on back. Sounds like fun. I...

    Oil cooler lines - Napa, build your own with AN fittings, or hack/rig the stockers?

    No getting to your house will be the easy part. Getting them on the engine in the clamp and bracket and clearing everything under the hood from the cab to steering and shift linkage will be the Touche. I am serious. Last set I put on the engine was out and they were bought at the GM dealer as A...

    Fall 2017 Rausch Creek Off Road Park

    http://rc4x4.org/ This should give the details and location. that is a long drive from Michigan. We did have a couple of guys drive in from Chicago a few years back. Great time if you want to come we are all the way east on 80 to I81 south. I am sure there is a quicker way but that gives you an...
