Finally decided to troubleshoot my glow system. I had replaced the controller, relay, and plugs with known good ones out of the other truck. I still had an intermittent problem. While I was checking power/continuity/ground on the glow control connector I noticed the female terminals where the...
Wheel spacer input
I'd like to insert myself into this topic. I put some ProComp Series 98 Rock Crawler, 16x8 rims (Part # PCW98-6883F) on my M1009 and the backspacing is 4". That's just too close, and I had to remove the lead balance weights to keep them from rubbing on the rod ends.
