I just replaced my rear axle, (ruined by 35" tires) with a brand new one from Coleman's less than 2 months ago, I asked the shop that was putting it in at least twice if I should get new u-bolts and a u-joint, since several people on this forum advised it. They assured me, "no, no, yours are...

I got into my m1009 this afternoon and noticed the top of the floor mat on the driver's side looked wet, it was, so is the firewall behind it, (it's soaked into the insulation) and some of the floor. Not sure what on earth it is, but it's black and smells terrible, (like chemicals) and I doubt...

Hi, stupid question I'm sure, but is there a fuel primer anywhere in the engine? I just did my first fuel filter change, went to start it up and of course it stalled after a few seconds and now won't start.

Any mechanics in northern RI/southern MA that don't rip people off? I haven't had my truck for over a month, and now the new axle install that was originally going to be $250-$300 is done and I'm being told it took 8 hours and the bill is $600+. I'm unemployed at the moment and only have the...

How much does an m1009 weigh? I'm getting slammed on my registration renewal because of weight...apparently anything over 4000lbs is an uh oh.

Everywhere I look it says the m1009 has a 27/gal tank...why does my '86 only take 20 gallons?

Apparently the tires were too big for the little rear. Spyder gears are trashed, and I wasn't even off-roading it, anyone know a good cheap parts place?

I want to add a 2nd original 20 gallon fuel tank to my '86 m1009, but can't figure out an ideal location where it might fit. I'd like to stash it underneath the truck with the first original tank if there's room since I want to keep alot of space in the back cargo area. Anyone done this before...

My M1009 came with a 4" lift and aluminum rims that are definitely not stock, I recently had a mechanic tell me that my tires are about to come off because the lug nuts aren't all the same (one already fell off) and the center hole in the rim is too big for the truck (there's about a 1/4" space...

Hi, I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst here...I have a 1986 m1009 and yesterday the "wait" light wouldn't go off...even after a few minutes. The gen 1 + 2 lights stayed on also. When I tried starting it, I was met with the temp light and it would crank and blow smoke, but not start...

I've had my 1986 m1009 for a few weeks and it used to start right up in no time.Lately the "wait" light has been on for alot longer before starting, and both battery lights stay on while I'm trying to start it, it takes awhile for the engine to catch and start up. I'm wondering if one or both...
