Right? It never ceases to amaze me the weird things people do to vehicles. I almost think the sight of a padlock would just tick off the would be thief enough to do something else to the truck. If they really want in; they find a way. Whatever.

It is odd they put it over to one side. At least if it were centered I could use it to aim for the Priuses.

I am not sure what this thing is on the hood of my M1009. It looks like a place to put a padlock. Is this original? Kinda looks booger welded so I am guessing the previous owner or maybe the Sheriff's Dept that owned it before that could have added it. At least they did a nice job poking the...

New shocks all around and I finally had a day off! Went to the dentist. Came back and installed my Napa Response shock absorbers. Then I tore the NP208 transfer case out of the truck and will do a complete overhaul tonight. New chain, , bearings, seals , shift fork guides. Lucky for me I have...

In Tennessee?

Took my M1009 out for a spin to sight in my .30 06 deer rifle. This old cabin was probably a line shack back in the days when they drove the cattle on horseback. Or it could have been a gold prospectors shack. Turned out to be a nice day.

I live in far northern Wyoming. If you have a set to sell, let me know. Boyce wants 2k per axle and I would have to drive 16 hours round trip to pickem up. There aren't a whole lot of wrecking yards in Wyoming.. we only have 580,000 people in the whole state. Checked craigslist and found...

Sorry. Just to confrim, checked my vacuum on my M1009 just now; 20 " at idle fairly steady 25 degrees outside cold start.

Summit has a vacuum pump direct replacement for the 6.2 with federal emissions, in stock for $109. Ditto, Advance Auto Parts has them too.

If all the engine mounted vacuum pump is doing is supplying a constant vacuum that is modulated by the regulator on the injection pump, I wonder if it could be replaced with one of these...

I used a crowbar to get the cases out of the front and rear 10 bolts of my 1984 K5. Then putting them back in (after the setup shims were finalized) I made sure it was a tight enough fit to need a dead blow hammer. For the pinion I used feel. Both those diffs out lasted the truck. But I hear...

I pulled the trigger on a new 3.08 ring and pinion to replace the damaged set in the 8.5 GM 10 bolt axle in the 1986 M1009. The old R&P had rust damage, pitting on the drive face, and a gov lock carrier showing signs of damage to the locking mechanism. I thought it might be interesting for...

I guess the previous owner added an adjustable vacuum modulator to mine. In fact, every Turbo 400 I have every run across had an adjustable modulator. Maybe it's one of those things everyone just does to their rig when the stock mod. goes out. Seems unnecessary since vacuum is already modulated...

When you get your vacuum pump sorted out, adjust the transmission vacuum modulator. Pull the vacuum line off the modulator on the trans and using a tiny flat head screw driver, turn the screw inside the open vacuum fitting counter clockwise to lower/soften shift points and clockwise to firm up...

Let's look at the totality of the circumstances presented by Dao; Was told by seller to drive 4 hours to see truck. Drives 4 hours to find a locked gate at the arranged meeting time. Sees the seller trying, unsuccessfully, repeatedly, to start the truck behind the locked gate. Is told;" Call you...

Thank you! I am still new here and learning. Cheers.

I am trying to reach Tow4 to purchase some of these; Delco Alternator Rebuild kits for alternator p/n 1105500 But when i pm him I get "member has exceeded inbox capacity" and I can't post to his classified ad. The ad he placed is recent. Anyway to help? Thank you.

The previous owner of my m1009 took out the rear cats eyes in the bumper but left the fronts. Seemed useless since I dont intend to ride in a military convoy so I removed them all. Using the wires to power a trucklite led worklamp in the left rear bumper and used the front wires to power an...

Wow. Sorry to hear that. You know, could be bad glow plugs. The idea it wouldnt start due to "wrong" fuel.. I dunno. If she put gasoline in it you would have heard a loud rukus and not just seen smoke. What could she have put in there? Sounds like dude doesn't understand the truck and possibly...

What will you accept as "proof". A temperature difference before and after the kit? A performance difference; 1/4 mile time? Does anyone have a performance meter they want to lend me?
