Thanks for the great electric fan info and pics. I was wondering what condenser you used? I ask since your using fans from a HMMWV red dot AC kit. I'm doing some more research before I start my "M1009 rebuild" adding a turbo, TinyTach, A/C with electric fans among other things I will be doing.

I looked around San Diego. I gave up after the 4th shop I called. I ended up taking my truck up to Bud's Diesel in Mission Viejo since my truck was in Oceanside at the time. Here's their site Bud's Diesel Shop They are also known as The Diesel Shop, and Orange County Diesel Shop. They haven't...

I love watching this build... I wish I could do the same thing to my M1009. Keep up the great work!

No... I was the one at fault for this crash, I came into that corner way too hot, and grabbed too much from brake (instead of counter steering) and went straight into the guardrail and down the ravine.... That was back in June. they only put in 18 stitches on a 10" gash... so, I hope to have my...

I don't have any of the parts, I sadly can't drive stick more than an hour due to leg pain. Ill throw up a pic up of it all. The plan off attack with the shop. Is to get it running and driving. Then put it up for sale, after that while I'm waiting for it to get sold I'll slowly fix things on it.

Sorry, Turbo has been taken by my buddy, but ill ask him tomorrow how much. I wish it was standard and it has a mechanical fuel pump lol... maybe I should throw in a SM456-NP205... hummmm... Oh, on another note, I found some pics from the motor swap I did... Please note the white bucket...

Update... The things I've done over the last year plus... 1. Towed it 4 different times 2. Removed Old motor 3. Installed "new motor" into the truck a. My buddy bought it from a guy who said it was a CUCV motor that he put into his suburban and it had a turbo mounted ( don't know if it's...

Well... I'm dumb I didn't even think of that... I only have a few bolts out. I will see if I can get a compression tester and test it out before I leave.

Quick update: I finally got my truck up a buddies house who has some tools I could use. My plan today was to just pull off the heads and see whats going on. I only got to the intake. When I pulled the 1st bolt on the intake passenger side i found white/green dried baked on powder, Also more...

If the starter is going bad and will not spin the motor fast enough it will not start.I think the starter is spinning fast enough. it sounds like its turning the motor fast enough. A fully functioning glow plug system would help the starting process.I'm pretty sure that mine is not fully...

Wont Start, but now is in the shop. So, I have a M1009. It died after sitting in southern California for two weeks. I drove it to my buddies parked and now it wont start. I've done several things to get it going. Ive cranked and cranked on it and all i get is white smoke out of it. I...

I want one!!! That thing is awesome. Thanks for sharing pics.

This makes me want to get my M1009 going again, so i can put one these in.

Agreed please keep the info coming... I'm thinking of doing a similar build for my 1st deuce.

Oil and filter change Transmission fluid change, had to change the transmission fluid because a few months back i was low (didnt look at the fuild level before I left) on a trip and the gas station only had ATF 4+ so... yeah put some of that in there and just now got around to swapping it out...
