Hello everyone! I am new to the MV game and I have found myself a decent m1009 to start off with. I just have a few questions first...
At least for a little while, I want this truck to be my daily driver. It has 57k miles and the motor appears to be in great mechanical condition. I have done a lot of research in the past weeks, much of which on this site. Are these trucks reliable enough for me to be reasonable comfortable with it as my daily driver? The drawback of learning about a vehicle from forums is that most posts are about one problem or another. GENERALLY, should this vehicle be reliable? What common problems (if any) should I be prepared for by parts or tools I carry with me?
I am supposed to pick the truck up in two weeks. It is straight from the Army and has not been privately owned before. I know I have to install some kind of license plate holder with lights for it to pass inspection here in NC. Other than that I am hoping it is ready to go.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
