Now, I'm off to go look for a cheap minivan or something. oh God.....

I think the new owner is going to drop another motor in it. At least, that's what I'm going to pretend he is doing, wether is does or not. I made him promise not to tell me if he finds something simple that was broken.

Well, it's off to it's new home. I'll find another one some day.

Thanks man. The body is in really good shape, no rust at all, and there's an ungodly number of new parts. Had a guy come out and look at it today, and he made me an offer. Just a little less than I am willing to take right now. My diesel benz is spewing tranny fluid like BP, and the wifes...

1985 M1009, yeah that one. - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

listed it for sale in the classified

Thanks.

Oh, and as for how many miles. the odometer says 70k something, IIRC. the motor looks to have been redone at some point, and there is a date stenciled on the oil pan (which looks like it's been repainted) that If remember correctly was some time in the last 10 years. None of that, of course...

Thanks, I don't take anything as patronizing. I wouldn't post here if I didn't want people's opinions. With a diesel it's fuel, compression, and air. I've got the fuel and air (same problem with no air cleaner at all). White smoke generally means unburned fuel, and that means air in the...

no coolant loss.

It would have to be on both heads...woth pipes smoke the same.

all fuel lines replaced now, no change. while I would like to keep this thing, it looks like it is beyond what I can afford to do. About the only thing left is low compression, and that's not something I can afford to fix, nor am I in good enough health to do it. I've got probably 2 grand...

Yeah, pretty much tried all of that...Today we got new lines on the fuel tank...those were the last one left to replace.. Thanks man, I will definately take you up on that. And let me know if there is anything I can do to help on the m1010.

No internal pump in the fuel tank. just a pickup screen and a float for the fuel guage.

Well, fuel tank is pulled and on the driveway. nothing obviously wrong, but the fuel lines weren't in the greatest shape so maybe replacing them will do the trick.
