Just gave my 30 year old M1009 a birthday present. Just had her rust-proofed at a Krown dealer and gave her all new oil & filters.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Had you any trouble getting it through the smog test?Just came left the California DMV with my new plates and tags. I am now street legal!
Not faulting the Delphi injectors just yet, but does run and start better with the tested Bosch injectors. I'm not ruling out bad ip.or lift pump yet. I was experiencing sporadic dry knock and blowing black smoke but just occasionally, once I added fuel additive it would clear up.I just decided to go with the Bosch injectors to narrow down what could be wrong.What about the Delphi injectors?
How were they acting up?
Smog test not required due to the age of the vehicle.Had you any trouble getting it through the smog test?
It's exempt. 1986 Diesel.Had you any trouble getting it through the smog test?
Currently, smog inspections are required for all vehicles except diesel powered vehicles 1997 year model and older
I guess that's one way to clean the under side of your truck !View attachment 643191View attachment 643191I balanced my rear driveshaft and cleaned the pinion seal with a full length of barbed wire. Happens every time no matter how careful I am. Easy fix a trip to Autozone a new seal some new gear oil and back on the job. Total cost of repair 1 hour and less the $20. The hedge rows were really grown up this year and the poison was especially active on the arms and neck.

It was not all that bad. The worst part was the oil. But my Son and I removed it with a vise grips and a fencing tool. It came right off. We were laying in a Speedway gas station parking lot doing it and a Pennsylvania State Trooper came up and ask us if everything was OK. We told him what had happened and he said that sounds like fun. It was not all that bad. And the worst case was it chewed the lip off the seal and the inner flange was a wee bit of a struggle to get out. With a seal puller it came right out. So I filled the axle with oil and finished the chores for the day. And it did spray the entire tailgate, under carriage, trailer and even the inside a bit with an oily film. Great rust proofing and also a great dust attractant. We worked the fields yesterday without incident. It was a 30 year old pinion seal and it needed maintained anyway. That's how I look at it. For the record the Autozone seal was a National seal.I guess that's one way to clean the under side of your truck !
That has to be a pain in the A$$ to cut off though !
That wire looks nearly new. How did you get a new strand of wire caught on the drive shaft?
Good job fixing problem quickly! Many rear ends get burned plumb up when this happens.
Do you mean the undercarriage?Just gave my 30 year old M1009 a birthday present. Just had her rust-proofed at a Krown dealer and gave her all new oil & filters.
That sure is no fun. You all good now?Well, crap. Been out of commission for over 2 weeks now with a pinched sciatic nerve. Just before that I started the SECM looking truck up and the oil idiot light stayed on. Hoping for it to be a sensor, I bought a replacement. Going to get my son to swap it out today. Hope that's all it is, just bought 4 new Duratracs for the back of it. New shoes for the GA Rally is a good thing.
