    Is this a good buy?

    I bought an 86 1009 several yrs ago from a drug task force in texas with 3600 miles on it. it was as near new as ive seen down to the floor mat, the 10.00-15 rubber, and the new car smell. i paid 5500 for it . it had all documentation from red river arsenal . i think i sold it on ebay.

    charging problem?

    If you have 14.6 v at the gen 2 and you have just battery voltage (12.7) at the back battery then you have a bad cable connection at the battery post or the connection on the back of the alternator is loose.

    charging problem?

    You can also swap the batteries and see if the light problem follows after you get the rear charged. it might help eliminate number 2 alternator.

    M 1009 Fuel/Bleeder Delivery Issue.

    If the truck starts and runs, does it rev up? if it boogs when you give it fuel you either have a fuel supply problem or a restriction in the pump. third, check the obvious, air supply? you will find it. thanks. mark

    M1009 4wd question.

    That is really not true. running on dry pavement for an extended period of time will cause premature wear on the drive line. think about what happens when you drive in 4x4 on dry pavement and turn a corner, you can feel the torque lock.(everything binding up) try it going slow and see for your...
