Decided to spend the extra dollars for K&N# E-1690 Air Filter for my M1009. Cleaned and inspected housing before installing. All seemed to be as it should. Top cover does not seem to go all the way down and mate with bottom half of filter housing. Do not want to over tighten and squash out...

Recently rebuilt Washer Pump and still not getting what I would like for distance from nozzles. Do not know how well they worked when new? Maybe you all can help me with that part?

Fellow SS's, Is there a way to positively verify if my Brake Pads are originals from GM to US Military? My M1009 shows 22k on Odometer and have yet to find anything on vehicle to prove that Odometer has not been rolled over. Attached pictures of Pads from left front. Hope you all can help...

Have searched high and low for readily available part # with no luck. Need your help.

Gents, does anyone know the Working Load Limits for Shackles and the Frame Rails they reside upon? Do not see the WLL casting marks I normally see on Shackles?

Fellow SSer's,
Finally put some descent tires on my 09. Went with the 33 x 10.50 BF Goodrich t/a km2 design. Very happy with tire. No clearance problems that I foresee and they do not sing much more that Goodyears it came with. Now for bad news.
Front-end technician gave me a laundry list...
Dear SSer's,
Need to add a DC Slave for charging Phones and such on the fly. Think that mounting Slave in Lighter Blank in Ashtray would be most logical and clean place to do it.

Dear Fellow SSer's,
Want to build a backup Injection Pump for my 86 M1009.

My existing pump seems to be functioning well. When I blend fuel though. It leaks a...
