Where'd ya get your M1009? Private seller or dealer? I ask because mine came from a dealer in Cairo.

I've put 4k miles on mine in the couple months I've had it. I have had no problems aside from a few old bulbs blowing out. Check your fluids, carry extra hoses and belts (as you mentioned) and keep an emergency tool set in the back and you should be fine. I also keep a jug of water just in case.

Thanks guys, makes complete sense now!

Thanks, Ken. This makes sense. It's just that I'm used to the idea that (on gasoline) turbo charged engines, when you run lean you see higher EGTs. If you add fuel, it soaks up some of the heat during the exhaust stroke, leading to lower EGTs. You answered my question completely. I think the...

I follow you, but I guess I still don't follow how turning up the fuel on a non-turbo diesel will raise EGT temps. Is it due to the extra power being made? At what point does the engine see diminishing returns on adding fuel? The point where it falls apart? The point where volumetric efficiency...

Well...I am thoroughly confused. Perhaps gasoline engines aren't this way after all...? Or maybe this case is particular to diesel engines. I'm too tired to look it up at the moment, but I have some research to do! Thanks TyJustice for the info!

I'm the furthest thing from a diesel expert buuuut....won't more fuel = richer AFRs = lower EGTs? This is certainly the case in gasoline engines and unless I'm missing a huge link in the chain I imagine basic principals of thermodynamics carry over.

Forgot I could use my stoopid phone for taking pishurs too. :roll:

I spent a couple bucks on some rubber seals at Advance Auto. If my memory serves me, they were generic "Master Cylinder seals." I ran some weather stripping epoxy around the outside and stuck it in. Works like a charm! Doesn't match the other side but it keeps the water out. Just tell...

Gonna do my best to make it wreckerman! Looking forward to it! :jumpin:

Thanks for the warm welcome, all. I'll do my best to get to the rallies, sounds like a great time. And I'll definitely get in touch with all you local guys, maybe you can help me out with a few parts I need! In response to jrou111, I live right down the road in McCalla. We should go riding...

Hi all, just purchased an M1009 and was told that this was the place to be. Here are a few pictures of my new toy. :-D Can new members not make direct img src links or am I just doing it wrong? :roll:
