Perhaps this thread will save some poor sap a lot of time, effort, sweat, and frustration in the future. No matter how hard I lift and pried on the black rear seat handle, no matter how much lubricant I spayed everywhere, it didn't budge. I could not find the reason for this in previous...

After installing new IP, I attached everything but the intake manifold in order to check for leaks before total reassembly. Attached the three wires near the fuel filter--the large ground wire coming from 24 V negative block, the gold braided wire, and the other one-- to the engine block...

If one has to loosen/tighten IP injection lines to the IP while it's mounted on the engine, it's a knuckle-busting, hand scraping proposition. I've found that a 5/8 inch box end wrench can be turned into a 10 point flare nut wrench that is infinitely more effective than a store-bought, normal 5...

I was paranoid about having the IP drive gear bolts drop into the engine/pan during removal/installation. I got a store-bought insert with small magnets for the 13mm socket. You can see they are really small; not much help in my opinion. I had a small round refrigerator magnet handy so I put...

Is there a way to test a newly installed IP for leaks before installing the intake manifold? Pretty sure the diesel leak on my 6.2l was from the IP which has been replaced. However, the thought of having to remove the intake manifold again if the diesel leak has not been fixed by the IP swap...

I started my new-to-me M1009 from GL; fired right up. Then found a pool of diesel on ground under bell housing. "Valley" under intake manifold wet with fuel but could not find source of dripping. After searching this great site, assumed it was bad throttle shaft and/or IP seals. In the...

My M1009 is missing the thing that holds the speedometer sleeve and seal in the hole at the top of the transfer case (see photo). From TM9-2320-289-20P, p. 539, it seems that there is supposed to be a "retainer" (Part No. 1254856) that's held on by a hex. screw (Part No. 8639743). If this is...

I got a M1009 from GL and can register it in CA or MT. Have already paid CA sales tax. Can some members in these states please tell me what they paid to both title and annually register their GL M1009. Thanks.

I did the Doghead relay fix a few months ago; worked great. Today, I got around to putting the relay mounting plate back under the lower dash. In the process, I inadvertently grounded the 24V terminal, the one with the large red wire attached, to the dash. There were some sparks as a result...

I took the fuse box apart on my M1008 to clean the connections. The photos show that both the passenger compartment section and engine compartment section have what appears to be some tar-type substance everywhere. Is this normal? I assume it should be removed; what is the best way?

Can somebody please identify this receptacle found hanging near the fuse box on an M1008. Thanks.
