    Why was my M1009 TP/45?

    depends on the load range of the tire. the newer 31-10.50 x 15 tires are load c, max pressure at 50 psi.

    Fair Price ???

    i had a 6.2 with 15k out of a 1009 that had a top end knock. i sold it for 300 to a friend and told him that i was sure there was a piece of a glow plug in the top of one piston. he yanked the head, and sure enough that's what he found. he's happy, driving the truck daily.

    just brought home a 82 cucv from jersy

    that vin is not correct, 3 rd character is wrong, but if the rest is right it should be an 82 4x2 6.2 diesel , regular cab. 1 ton single wheel. the 3rd character should be a c, b, or t. 5th charater should be a d if a military truck. if the plant code, -v- is correct might be a gmc originally

    1008 vin question

    the tag on the dash should have a one as the first charactor, and should be 17 digits long, sometimes they are hard to read, clean it or remove the dash where you can get to it better. if its an 85 there will be two f's in a row(10th and 11th digit). , then 6 numbers thanks. mark

    1008 vin question

    they moved the build sheet to the glove box door in 85. of course they are removed /gone in a lot of cases. the vin on the dash should match the door post but i have had exceptions to this because the post plate can be easily removed. the vin is also stamped on the frame somewhere. i have never...

    engine starts and runs but no power

    when you gutted the check valve that was a temporary fix at best, if you plan on keeping the truck rebuild the pump. gm had a problem in 84-85 with all 6.2 diesel pumps.

    Fuel Injector Cleaner

    vehicles are titled by vin . 10th digit of the vin is the year model. e is 84, f is 85. g is 86. there were no 83 military 1009's. since you live in texas you can make a correction of the form 97 you got from the government on the 130u, app for certificate of title. ive done it many times...

    Very Dim Gen2 light on idle

    where is your volt meter when running? should be solidly in the green when both alternators are energized. if you loose one alternator the needle will drop to the yellow-green line. thanks. mark
