^^^ so it is a 1988 model year?

Ah.. Yes I have those three boxes noted to do what that one SS2000SM does. Guess I am too cheap to buy one as I already had the other equipment and works for me. PA300 (modified airhorn only). Whelen TACTRL1A. SW300.

I already know that answer, do you really need a Smart Siren? I just use a SW300.

You should be using 5/32, or at least that is what I read to use.

Yes

Fuel filter, it was about a year old as I always mark them with a date when I replace them. All is good now after a 10 mile test drive.

On my 84 M1009 I turned down the fuel as it is a 6.5L mechanical pump that came out of the 1 GEN 6.5L turbo and I never put the 6.2L Banks turbo on mine. So I was getting too much fuel and I needed to correct that as I know the guy had turned it up. Doing this also checked to see if the IP is...

Spent Sunday tracing all the wires on my M1031 from the panel in the contact box to the engine and cabin. All wires toned OK with my meter so they are not cut anyplace. I am still not able to get my generator to output power, so it has to be the electronics now. I may break down and go with the...

I got one of those from eBay about a year ago, have never tired to use it yet. There is a post here on how to make one and use it, but most people just trial and error the shifting. I have followed that process, but since I have the tool I need to learn how to use it. Below is the part...

Wow, did you win the lottery? I have a Plasma and Welder as well and they are nice tools to have and you will find they come in real handy for just about anything. Both mine are from Harbor Freight, got a really good deal on the Plasma that I could not pass up. What plasma & welder did you get?

My M1009 has been parked for about a month now and just moved around the driveway a few times as I have been driving my Suburban. I had it sitting in the same spot not moved for about 2 weeks and when I got in to move it the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Look and no fluid in the...

There are posts on how to prime the system with air compressor with 4psi or one of those small hand pumps from Harbor Freight on YouTube. I changed the fuel filter on a M1028 and did the air 4psi compressor prime on the return line and worked like a champ. Speaking of thinking you fuel tank...

Allot of money for fixing rust, but if you do not have the tools to do it yourself and want to keep the truck for a long time it is not that bad of a deal. Just make sure when it is all done it is rusted protected well. I have been had my last few CUCV lined with Bullet Liner that is just like...

Is that the thin mat that is taped on where your feet are from the seat to the curve of the firewall? I used a propane torch to just burn it off and that worked well. I had to get that stuff off in order to Line-X the floor.

Rebuilt my alternators on my M1009 as I was getting flashing Gen 2 light and pulsating headlights. I had a problem before with GEN 1 light staying on and replaced the heater switch and seemed to work for a short time. But driving at night my headlights would flicker/pulse and was really not...

Added an old Federal Signal Visibar on my M1031 over the cab. Light works great and have red/blue and amber domes for it. I could give it a MP look or standard amber for convoys and maintenance duty. I do need to do something about the chrome, but I do not want to paint it as it would hurt the...

Did you install the headlight relay harness? You will overload your fuse if you did not with that much amperage. The system is not well designed for the stock factory system, adding H4 headlights requires the harness to take the load off of the fuse panel. You said this is plastic, they make a...

Looks good, he told me about doing that with his plates on the M1009 he bought from me. That looks really good and will comply with Texas law. The magnet plate I made was so it can be taken off for shows and parades quickly. I used Harbor Freight 95lb magnets and that Bell plastic plate...

Looks good, did you water down the paint with about 10% at all? What method did you use to apply it, brush, high foam roller, foam brush? I started to paint some of my M416 with the green Behr paint and will be using the roller method on most of it. Anything that I cannot get with that will be...

Nice, so you did go with the Treadwight tires after all on the M1009. Mine shipped just as fast and usually do when they are in stock. Too bad they do not have the 33 anymore, but you still have the factory look with 31 tires. They are great tires and as you saw on my M1031 they look great on...
