Skinny, I am up there all the time, visiting the boys and trips to PNSY. I'll PM you and maybe we can get together for coffee in the spring, when I'll be driving the 09 again.

For the starter, there are several different part numbers. Is this the correct unit part number for the 6.2? 21580DR Starter- Delco 28MT

Skinny, While I can agree with you, for those of us who don't have the skills or tool necessary to do that, this seems like a really decent alternitve. Plus, it's easy to install/remove, very well made and it looks good too. I have some custom ideas, but I don't know anyone around me that...

Just another "hey, I didn't know this was out there" part. I have been looking at some different options, for different areas of my M1009. 5 years after she rolled off the CUCVRUS assembly line I am looking at some improvements I don't want to permanently modify anything, so the list is short...

Didn't know where to post this, so if this violates any rules, please delete. I just picked up 3, almost brand new, Scepter Fuel cans (5G). The price was very good (ridiculous actually), as he didn't know what he was selling. Anyway, the guy had two cans left, in dirty, but in good condition...

LOL!! Purple K ! Use it once and then totally write off the equipment it was used on. That stuff makes a HUGE mess and is not friendly to anything, fire included.

Rick, why an electric heater? In your barn, I would figure a decent propane salamander heater for the application. 80,000 BTU should keep you toasty. Electric will run all day long without the tank refill and Home Depot does sell them, as do other hardware stores...

Just ordered a Delphi CHFP906. Does anyone know the correct part number for the Vacuum Pump, please?

Bummer, but I get it.

I think that was Shankemdeep. I purchase his "over the door" interior hand grabs. They were well built and I was pleased. Yup, the steps would be nice too. Wish there was someone near me that did that sort of thing. Shipping on some of these items is expensive, so the closer the better...

Hey Jason, any update to this thread?

Has anyone upgraded their stock heat exchanger/blower motor or maybe installed an aftermarket auxiliary heating system in their M1009's? It's gets cold in New England and I sometimes make trips up into Maine and NH when it is Zero or below out. Truck runs great, but as for heat, not so much...

That is one AESOME looking barn Rick. Sweet job !

Nice........and helpful. Thanks.

And that spare is still back there, properly aired up and ready to go if needed !

Lookin AWESOME !

Someone got really luckly. That is one heck of a truck Rick. Really nice job and I am jealous and sorry I couldn't take it off your hands !! To whomever bought it, congrats !!

Don't spray ether into the 6.2. Yes, on a rare occasion or as a last resort (or both) it shouldn't hurt anything (if you use very, very little). But repeated use will kill that engine quickly. Start with the glow plugs and work your way up from there. The TM's are a great resource, as are...

My M1009 cruises nicely at 65mph and will even do short distances above that (70-75) with no problems. However, the short wheelbase of this truck makes things slightly twitchy at higher speeds. I have trailered about 2000 lbs. up here in the hills of the Northeast with little issue. More than...

Yup, Rick did my current M1009 and, unlike my first M1009 purchase (not from Rick), I couldn't be happier with Rick's work. I picked my truck up right after I got back from the sandbox in 2016 and I have driving and towing with her ever since. She runs like a top, hasn't really skipped a beat...
