I had to smog mine here in denver. I passed. I think the opacity test for 85 was 40%, I had 35% or close to it. The guy told me next time just put extra diesel additive/injector cleaner in it. I brought it with my usual amount of diesel additive and a quart of 2 stroke oil in it.

Yep. I found a bio from last year of it. It's definitely turbo now. http://www.drivingline.com/2013/07/ultimate-adventure-2013-readers-chevy-pickup/

I've been watching adventure week on motor trend's Youtube channel and saw a sweet m1008 with a trailer bed on it. Just wondering if that person is on here as I'd like to read more about it. There's also an m37 and a flat fender jeep on the trip. Here's the first video...

I replaced mine with brand new hmmwv belts I got from ebay. I think they were $30-40 for the set. Give me a second and I'll find the thread.

Removed the antenna mounts to gain some trail clearance. I need all I can get between the trees. The smilie face it made after removing is how I feel on how it looks though

I forgot to follow up. This is the one I got. GM6 is the part number. It's been working great and stalls the same as the original. Make sure you grab enough trans fluid, I think I ended up using close to 14 quarts with a trans cooler...

I ordered a stock replacement torque converter from oreilly. It was around $90 and feels just like the original it replaced. Unfortunately their site is down so I can't get the part number.

Are you talking of the rubber lines or the metal lines?

That's exactly how it felt. I was going to drop the pan tomorrow and see what it looks like in there. I'm wondering if its a pressure issue or if something let go inside the converter. Depending on what I find in the pan/filter, is the converter something I can change without a full rebuild...

Fluid level is normal and the color is a nice red with no smell.

Well was on the way to the furniture store and while slowing down for a light, the truck started to chug like it was going to die and was making a grinding noise, I was able to quickly get off onto a side street and by the time I came to a stop it died. It felt the same as when you don't release...

Hey all, I just moved from Chicago to Denver and was wondering if there was anything in particular I should do for the elevation change? I plan on driving some trails a bit higher than denver (about 8k feet) or so. I've seen reference to a high altitude trans modulator valve. Anything IP...

I made it late last night with zero issues. Thanks for the suggestions!

I had to leave my m1009 at my folks house a few months ago when I moved from Chicago to Denver (turns out it was too wide for any available trailer I could rent). I was finally able to get back to Chicago to make the 1,000 mile trip back to denver in it. I'm both excited and nervous. I figure...

My stock belts had the same type of tab as the hmmwv ones so no small hole was needed on my 85.

http://wescoperformance.stores.yahoo.net/boltkit.html This is where I got them. The A904L bracket. I originally was going to use 2 (one on each side of the female end) but after looking at the stock mount I decided 1 was probably stronger than original anyways and it saved me from drilling...

I have a set in mine for the exact same reason. The retractor side needs to be opened up a tiny bit for the stock bolt. The female side I used a 90* bend bracket and a grade 8 bolt with washers. It's a very easy "upgrade". I got mine off a certain popular auction site for $18 a set. Make an...

I was able to use the brown wire attached to the drivers alternator to run a vdo diesel tach, it has a built in potentiometer to fine tune it.

Wow what a great find!
