Engine for 1984 m1008

[hwcurtice]

First, I need to verify what engine actually came with the truck.

Second, How difficult is it to find a running one? Engine, that it. Truck I'm looking at threw a rod. Seller claims 6.2L

Third, What does a running engine go for these days?

It is supposed to have a cummins 6bt. If it does not then someone ripped you off.

A running 6.2,Here In NC Goes for anywheres from $600 on up Running. The Civiy 6.2 is the Cheapest around Here.If you want a j code 6.2 Then probably $1000 and Up Complete with Brackets and everything to drop in.


As for The Briggs and Stratton Thats a a well sought after option, Man you have a gold mine :] The M1008 thats got that is one Awesome Ride.

Thanks for all your useful (CHOKE) advise. I asked this one the fly therefore, didn't use the search, nor did I even see the sticky.

I did think that these came stock with 16 inch tires, to match the m101a2 trailers, but I see I was incorrect.

So I learned something new today. Maybe a couple things....

Is that the standard Briggs and Stratton or the I/C model ?

 

[Warthog]

The pickups do use 16in tires. Same as the 101a2

 

[hwcurtice]

hmmmm that's odd, The sticky says 15" and the truck I'm looking at has 15".

And I don't see and engines in the classified section.

Off to CL, I guess or maybe eBay.

 

[porkysplace]

The M1009 takes 15 inch

 

[wayne pick]

Mine has a Saab two stroke, brrrring ding ding ding............ding ding. A hit and miss engine is an easy swap

I fixed the Wiki. The M1009 tire was listed but not the others. Thanks for pointing that out.


Are the axles on the truck you are looking at 8 bolt hubs or 6 bolt? I don't think I have ever seen a 15" 8 bolt rim

I've got a good 6.2 in the truck running now, but I don't think that will help you were to far apart. You can send me a message if your interested, I will give you a good price based on the shipping you would have to pay. Good luck, mate.

Aftermarket used to have 15" eight lug wheels available.
I bought a great parts vehicle that had a set on it with 33/12.50-15 BFG's mounted.

Thanks. I learn something new everyday.
