Just got this trailer from GL. I'm still relatively new to the MV world, so who can tell me what kind of tires these are? My deuce has the standard (NDT?) tires on it. So these are different.

I got this truck running months ago. Replaced the batteries, bled the fuel lines to the cylinders, converted to 12 V (yeah, I know- NOW) etc, etc. She ran for awhile, but I still had so much other stuff to fix that I didn't drive it all that much. But when I did, she ran fine. Now, today...I...

Its a GL from Redstone, AL. Looks pretty shabby, but hopefully I can put some love into it. In the likely chance that its not running, what are some good options for towing it back to middle GA? Does anyone have experience with a commercial towing co.? Any better options? Also, if anyone...

Hey guys, After lots of searching, I think I'm at a loss about which class 3 hitch to put on my m1009. I ordered the civi blazer hitch from uhaul, but when they put it up there it wouldn't fit. It was like the distance between the frame and the bottom of the bumper was too far. Do you just...

Hey guys, I did a mock-up of the spare tire on the brush guard. I kinda like it, it might have to grow on me though. I definitely like the added space in the rear. Vote whether you approve or not. Thanks, J

Hey guys, I recently bought one of those chrome cranks off ebay for my rear window. The thing is, I can't figure out how its supposed to go on at all. In the picture, #1- these are actually screws with big rubber heads on them. But they're inserted into the holes on either side of the middle...

What can I say, I love big trucks. My question is, what are the PROS of having a deuce? I don't own one currently, but I've been eyeing them and they're really starting to grow on me. All I have right now is an M1009. Which I love, especially now that I got it running good. But those deuce +...

Hey guys, I know this has been "touched" on before, but I think it deserves a second look. An outside tire carrier would be really practical in these trucks, but the hard-to-find civvy racks can be a little tough on the body. Are there any good products out there that mount on the bumper? Or...

I've seen this question asked quite a few times, but I haven't found the answer yet. So all y'all with the manual gp switch. How long do you push that button? What about on a cold morning? summer morning? hot restart? etc. Also, if I just switch the ground wire on the gp relay and leave the...

First of all, I hear about this "member map" but I can't find it anywhere. Also, When I click on "quick links" and "pictures/albums" I'm taken to my albums, but nobody elses'. How did I find the page of everyone's albums? Thanks, J

Its on pg 856 of the -20 TM near the middle bottom. I've been tracing my ignition wiring and came across that, not knowing what it does. Do i need it? Also, A couple of the lines seem to just go to the fuse box and disappear. Am I right in assuming that they go to ground after the fuse box...

Hey Guys, A long time ago I installed a push-button start on my m1009. No problems with it, really. (I thought it was the problem at one point, but it turned out to be a dead battery). Anyway, I went out today to bleed my injector lines and the thing wouldn't even click the starter relay. I've...

Ok, so in my quest to start this beast in my garage, I've pulled the glow plugs to make sure they weren't broken and rattling around in the cylinders. I tried to check the resistance with an ohm-meter, but I never could get it lower than kilo-ohms. (shorting the probes gave 0 ohms, so the...

Besides lots of prayer, of course. This truck has been sitting for probably 18 months. What are the standard jobs to do? I'm expecting to hear alot about fuel filters and such. Thanks, J

Ok, I'm about to pull my hair out. I've been on Tirerack.com and other sites trying to find some good tires for my M1009. I'm pretty sure I want AT's and I'm pretty sure I want 33's. I anticipate revamping the suspension soon and I may put a couple inches lift on it, so I don't want anything...

check out the faq on this website. they claim you can run a diesel on ethanol... http://www.ethanolstill.com/faq.html J

would this just bolt on easy to my m1009? http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_20788_20788 J

...told him I was glad he was talking alot about hydrogen fuel cells but pressed him to talk about biodiesel in the same discussions. He seemed receptive and in agreement, but that could just be the politician speaking. Of course, I don't really know what he, or the fedgov, could do for...

Has anyone done this? Is it feasible? I sure would like the benefits of a straight drive in my m1009. J

Well I wired up the ignition switch the way I thought* it had been in the stock switch, using two toggle switches. One 3PST and one 4PDT. 8 wires in all. Just to double check before I reinstalled the batteries, I checked the resistance at the battery cables and got the following readings: rear...
