    Oh I think his steering is in the right direction. Counter clock wise is left and clock wise is right. He is having issues with a 30 year old truck not sitting level. I think he is going to get his concrete slab leveled and he will report back. First things first. No need to rush it has been...

    best way to level 1986 m1009

    Waste of a lot of good parts. But it is definite option for leveling. I used to like it when people scrapped their cars/trucks and drove them into the yard and they were basically scrap. I could run them thru the crusher while the engine was still hot. 10 minutes from the road to the scrap...

    Recovry4x4 the Goodyear Duratrak tires make your truck look BA. I have Goodyear's on all my CUCV's. I like The 31 x 10.5 x 15 Goodyear MTR Kevlar the best on the M1009's and the LT23585R16 Duratraks on everything else. i have a set of 225/75R16 Duratraks on the rear of a dual rear wheeled...

    All in Fun My friend. I drove my little Mule M1009 to an auction today. They had lots of Chevrolet truck parts and a few old oddities. I bought a right door from an old truck for hanging on my barn.I did the research I know what it is for. I think it is cool and wanted it. Anyone want to guess...

    I have my Crown of Thorns M1009 updated with stabilitrack , clean idle, anti lock brakes, DEF fluid tank and particulate burner and all I wanted to do was change the fan belts. Go figure I had to lazer the concrete slab I was working on, read my horoscope, change the motor mounts, torque the...

    I know exactly what you mean. If I would have measure correctly I could have used all front doors instead of the crew cab and Suburban doors. 2 more knuckles and a fist and I could have put a sliding van door on the other side. It will look much better in the 3 color woodland camo. trust me...

    This is what the untrained eye sees when they don't know what to look for. This is what a trained eye sees in the stars and constellations. Some time spending a bit of money for a professional diagnosis is less expensive then just throwing money at an unknown problem. And I think the owner is...

    I have a local shop that is called Garden Spot frame and alignment shop. That is what they do. They are a full service truck garage. I doubt that anyone will diagnose for free. But that would be the easiest way to get the diagnosis if it bothers you that much. Mine was a gate closing issue and...

    Take it to a frame and alignment shop and have it properly diagnosed. You could be wasting money on everything and it has a simple fix I think we all got that covered here. Pictures of a leaning truck? Well I guess so. But not sure what that would tell us. Lets try and see what the pictures can...

    It will just be the height of the suspension lift and still have the same lean only a little higher. Take it to a frame and alignment shop and have it properly diagnosed. You could be wasting money on everything and it has a simple fix. Frame alignment can do wonders. That thing could have been...

    When you start get a complete body and spring bushing kit from Energy Suspension. You should have a torch to do this job. And wear old clothes. You will get filthy. The body mounts are going to be the worst. Soak everything you can with PB blaster or something good that breaks rust. Good Luck...

    Are you referring to these? I have been preaching that for years. If you have any of the OEM bushings anywhere they are shot. I don't care how many miles are on it. Rubber or urethane the choice is yours. But replace them and see a world of difference. Even Terminus M1009 has new bushings and it...

    True Story. I have had several of the M1009's that had this issue. IMHO I had this happen to me at Rausch Creek a few years back. Because the spare tire is mounted on that right rear corner and the other things that get jammed in behind the spare tire the jack and tools and in my case a few...
