I totally get that haha, not trying to make it something it's not. Just wanted to make sure mine is running correctly so nothing gets worn out or god forbid burnt out before it's time. My concern is exhaust gas temps.
Hard to say. It was bought from the govt in 2010 with 36k miles, was barely driven, then ended up (unfortunately) having a plow attached to the front 3 years ago to plow a used car lot. Other than the last guy replacing worn out rubber items and alternators I don't think it got molested at all...

Thanks for the answers all! This has been helpful.
Yeah I looked around a lot on the 2 cycle topic before actually doing it, most everyone had only positive things to say about using it with the 6.2.
My M1009 still only has the stock dummy lights, a proper temp gauge is high on my list of things to do though. So I'm not sure what the temps are...
Hey there! Just took the plunge into the military vehicle world last week, and so far it's been interesting. My 86 has documented 38k miles, and no apparent issues other than some surface rust on the frame and minor non-drivetrain annoyances. Motor seems smooth, and looks great all around...
