Used my M1009 to establish our hunting camp up near the Montana border.
My co-worker has an elk tag, I have a general deer tag.
The M1009 ran so smooth today.
Having less power than my 400 ci small block was actually a benefit over Sheep mountains rocky forest road.
With the 400 the slightest bump sends your foot down on the throttle and the truck leaps forward.
The 6.2 diesel just idles along steady as a ship at sea.
Used almost no fuel.
The 6.2 is one extremely economical motor.
Now I am re-thinking messing with the gears and axles at all.
Those 3.08's are just fine and the 31" tires are fine.
I am not super stoked to have that gov-loc carrier in the rear axle but if I don't put huge tires on it.. maybe just leave it as it is.
This truck is too sweet to thrash in the rocks.
Maybe I'll keep the 76 k5 for that purpose and the 86 m1009 as my honey.
