    Want to install an APC dome light in the M1009. Dome light hole spacing is too wide for it to fit directly to the deep section of the ceiling between the sheet metal cab roof and the fiberglass rear roof. Looks like I will install it more in the center of the cab ceiling. Question: The...

    Decided to clean the CDR valve on my M1009. Removed the oil fill tube to CDR hose at the CDR end and some oil ran out of the hose. There was oil in the CDR valve itself. Probably a shot glass full total. How does oil get all the way up there? (I have a bad feeling about this). Other...

    The 6.2L water pump housing has what looks to be a pipe plug installed in it at about the 10:00 oclock position as viewed from the front of the vehicle. Anyone know the purpose of this port, and if so is it on the supply or the return side of the pump? Thanks Jim
