There is no need to replace anything until you take it apart and inspect all the pieces. A new bearing will fail just as fast as an old one if there isn't grease on it, tighten too much or too loose. Take it apart before you buy anything. Unless you just want to have a spare set sitting...

The early 101 trailers never got the same bolt patter as the M715. There was an adaptor made to mount the M715 6 lug on the M37 pattern trailer though. Only used 3 lugs on each side. Not really something you want to go far with. People have put different hubs on 416 trailers so they match...

I just re read this entire thread. Except in the original post. Oil and internal engine faults are not mentioned. Just goes to show how these "junk 6.2" engines are so bad that none of us even thought about internal issues. We have all been concentrating on other parts of the vehicle that...

Nice video Glen. Now I have to go drive the Whistler tonight. Just because.

Um, Tanner. You do know that Tom, Spicergear, was the information source for that JP article, right? His truck, Velvet that he took to TTC in 2005 had that set up in it. Tom in my opinion is THE SOURCE for all things fabbed and matched together. The first time I met him, he had just thrown...

I pull my 101 loaded down a lot with my 1009. The only thing that is hurt by the 3.08 gears seems to be top speed into a head wind with the trailer tarp on. No tarp, no problems. Top on and a head wind means some up hill pulls on pretty slight hills will be 52 mph with my foot all the way in...

Congrats on a good engine! How did you loop the oil cooler lines?

The pre-'94 IP is what you want for the 6.5. The 6.5 everybody wants is the 2000 and newer GEP made version. It has all the stuff right that GM got wrong. However, the little stuff matters if money is a concern. 1988 and older means V belt and normal water pump. Newer and it is a...

An injector with any slop inside will hammer like crazy above idle. Do you mean the stock trailer plug? I'll take it. PM me details to get shipping money to you.

You might live in an ok 'hood. But where you work is another story. When we got off I-35 3 years ago to pick up the M35's. Sermis looked around at that first traffic light and said. "I didn't bring enough guns. This here is a two gun street."

11.00-16 Michelin XL radial tires. Very heavy on the LAV 3 piece tubeless rims as pointed out above. Aired down to around 15 psi, they are great on any surface. Take them up to their rated 85 psi and you will get stuck on a blade of grass and feel every blade of grass you run over too. I...

For sure, pull the starter and pull/push on the Bendix gear to figure out where the slop is. If there is no slop in any of the connections, pull the solenoid and verify a spring is in there. Could just be a busted return spring. Or a missing spring.

Do the CUCV standard bolt check. Flywheel and torque converter bolts. I really couldn't tell much from the video either.

Allen, Boxcar told me on the phone the other day he is planning to return. I haven't had a chance to contact Kwai and Sermis yet.

Have the key in when you go to pull the cylinder out. It helps on some of them. What are you doing with your old CUCV keyed locks? Shoot me a pm is you want to get rid of them. Also, the steering shaft has a line on the end. The wheel will have a line on it. Line them back up when you...

With the key on. Can you hear the solenoid inside the IP click as you plug and un plug the pink wire?

Just topped off. Only got 18.6 mpg running 60-63 mph for 260 miles. I can smell a little diesel from the IP throttle shaft every know and then. Guess the IP is next. I was getting 20-22 a year ago.

Short trigger burst are best.

Nice looking truck. I had the 1009 in Bastrop today. As mentioned above. Come to a LSMVPA meeting at Mabry. Look into the Rally in Bryan for November as well. There have been at least 2 M715's at each Rally so far.

I really haven't done that much to the 1009 lately. Except drive it. 130 miles last weekend pulling a Scout trailer and hauling 4 Scouts to and from a camp out. 260 miles this week to and from a teacher conference for me. All with no trouble. 16.7 mpg with the pretty darn heavy 5x8 box...
