https://youtu.be/mk5RAC8qpyo Same thing as the Chevrolet trucks have had for years.

I tightened the Power Steering belt on my Mule M1009. I used it for spring gobbler season and I bagged my limit. It was an easy fix to a misdiagnosed issue I was having. But it does sound like a turkey call when the PS belt is slightly loose. The only time it gobbled was on cold start up. I...

Weirdly enough I had a guy try and tell me that they were called Gov Locks because only the Government could buy them and he said if I still had it in my M1009 it was illegal for state inspection. WOW. I had people tell me the same thing about police cars I bought over the years. They said the...

Not unless they just changed the rules since last week. Seatbelts are a no brainer and you must have a roof on the vehicle. If no roof a rollbar is required. So to my knowledge NO to the roll bar. Yes to the seat belts. 453 Molleystown Rd. Pine Grove, PA (570) 695-3900 info@rc4x4.org...

IMHO the M1009 rear axle will hold up pretty decent. That is in stock form and driving it smarter not harder. If you put bigger tires on it and spin them every time you can you will have trouble. I have used the same rear in several on my M1009's as plow tucks and had few failures. I have the...

You can go to an Auto parts store and buy fusible link in bulk by the roll or just get the Help card with a short piece. In a bind you can put an in-line maxi fuse if you like. It does about the same thing. But DO NOT hard wire a piece of wire in there. You need something to break the current...

Easy to say what? Big truck is easier to wheel. I wheel with 5 tons every time we go. That makes by confidence higher. I have been extracted from deep water by a 5 ton. But I seen 5 tons getting extracted from deep water also. How little is big? And how big is little? It is fun anyway you shake...

I still have an M1009 and that makes 3 more seats. Terminus M1009 is ready to go. I drive that is for sure. You ride. I have 1 rule and I don't listen to country music. The rule is no twittering. Helmets are optional. Seatbelts are required. Have a great day.

I have been there and done that. I now have solid cast pulleys on all my CUCV alternators. That thin stamped stock pulley rusts and gets like a 24 grit grinding disk. It will eat belts for breakfast. Ask the rebuilder to replace the pulleys with solid cast/machined pulleys and scarp the stamp...

Anyone that wants to go to Rausch Creek let me know. I am ready. I know a couple guys in the group that went off with our group are ready also. So lets get rolling on this ASAP. Most of you guys that went wheeling in the same group I was in don't have show trucks anyway. So if you want to go...

Hello! Do we have a date yet? Some guy just told me he don't have time to go 4 wheeling. He works 40 hours a week. I said yea I know how that is. I used to have a part time job myself.

That's fine. I agree to disagree. Oil pressure that is measured at the end of the cam shaft bearings gives a more accurate engine oil pressure measurement then the 1/2"-5/8" oil cooler lines would give. That is my opinion. Barring any scientific studies. That is why they check the oil pressure...

Retracted offer.

Yes you can tap into that area for oil pressure. But you are NOT getting a true accurate reading. You want to measure oil pressure at the farthest point in the system. The best place is at the rear of the engine where the oil pressure sending unit is mounted. You can T it off and use the stock...

That actually looks very good. I seen much worse on good running/operating transmissions. I would you Dexron 3-6 in that transmission. I buy/use 5 gallon pails of transmission fluid. It is universal fluid. But what you are showing looks great. Put the pan back on with a new filter and gasket and...

I was going to take pictures and post that. I plan on doing that soon. I have a metal pen clip in place now to hold the fuse tight. Improvise adapt and overcome. All that was left of the fuse was the metal. The plastic be gone.

I had a little incident while driving Big Red M1008 last week. I smelled antifreeze but had no leaks. I was driving on I 81 at ludicrous speed and I heard a terrible clanking in the fan. Barely heard it but when I got off the exit it was apparent something had gone awry. I thought maybe the fan...

I have run the Trucklite LED's thru 2 winters and a major 40" snow storm and had no icing over issues to date. I doubt that icing over would be an issue in 99.9% of all the weather I have dealt with. I had Halogens encased in ice and operating very few times. And as far a being worth the money...

There you have it. What do I know I was looking a Fastenal bolt torque poster I have in my shop. I would not torque a 5/16" to 35 lbs. But if you read it on the internet and in a book it must be true. I will get back to my Marlboro's. And if you knew the answer why did you wait for me to get...

17 ft lbs on 5/16" M1009 23 ft lbs on 3/8" M1008/M1028/M1031/M1010 5/4 ton trucks Or do like I do tighten them up and move on. I never torqued a differential cover.
