    Warming up w/ charcoal?

    Put in a plug style block heater and a magnetic heater on your oil pan. Buy a 5000 watt generator and plug them both in. Hopefully its not too cold for the generator to start. HAHA. :roll:

    Help!! gear whine???? see video

    Sounds to me like the shims in your pinion are not correct. Have you ever done and work to the differentials? Check the fluids in everything too. Tranny, t case and diffys. Could be an output bearing blah blah blah. Kinda hard to diagnose something without being there.

    Adventure

    For reference: I just bought an 87 1 ton 6.2 pickup M1008 with 13,000 documented miles for $4,000, 3 weeks ago. You will likely need to budget for things like interior, tires, maintenance etc... Look at around $5000-6500 by the time you finish the project. Or just buy it and drive the **** out...

    Hard Shifting still after repairs

    m1010 Body Modification

    I know the truck you are talking about. When I was looking to buy one I came across that vehicle. Talk to him about the starting issues he is having. I couldnt determine if it was majorr or minor. My opinion would be to buy a regular CUCV that already has a pickup bed. Seems like a lot of work...

    Midwest winter vs. M1009: the cold won

    It got me too! It started great in the morning. I drove about 40 miles to Fleet Farm, parked it, went into the store for about 1.5 hrs. Came out and all it did was crank, and crank, and crank. Gelled up on me. Dumped in a bottle of diesel 911 and had it towed back to the house. Plugged it into...
