    Anyone else have water intrusion into to the passenger front left side insulation? It's like a water bladder at the bottom. I removed it, turned it upside down and found the only holes were at the top. Bizarro.

    M116a2 Trailer, new wiring harness from junction to vehicle

    It appears that my new harness from the junction (wiring already on the trailer) to the vehicle is not an exact fit. Some of the numbers on the little aluminum tags do match, but not all of them. Where can I find a proper wiring harness graphic so I can get to making this work? Thanks!

    A friend has asked me to check out his '85 M1009, 26,000 miles, all new filters and oil, transmission serviced and fluid / level good. During acceleration through 2nd gear, the engine output drops to about half as the limited acceleration continues. First gear, no problem - good power...
