Look at the oil cooler lines. Look at the fittings that going into the radiator and inspect the hoses.

Go to your break room and grab some black pepper. I have driven many a mile in a pinch with pepper in a radiator with small leak.

Wow! I just found this link. This a lot better price than I paid. Mine was like $35 plud shipping. I went with the 11612 Kat's 10612 & 11612 Frost Plug Engine Block Heater

X2. I got mine from Kat's, and it was a little over $40. WELL WORTH IT!

LOL!!! rofl

I don't know where you're getting it from, but at Warner Robins AFB where I got mine, they told me if I could not make within the 10 days, to let them know and they could give me a little more time. Our house burned after I won my M1009, so we were knee-deep in the rebuilding phase when my EUC...

Yep. Here's the link: Home Page

I looked it up, and that is slick! I might have to order one of those. That's solves the where am I am going to put it part. I have a empty jerry can in there now, but I have no intention of keeping fuel in it. That would allow me make that usuable space. Thanks!

Thanks! i didn't know what the abbreviations meant, but that makes sense now!

I noticed that the dinging buzzer that you hear when was hotwiring it wasn't from a 80's GM.

Good grief I bet that was a wild looking unit with the mast extended.

On the show Apocalypse Man, he jacks a 6.2 powered Burb to drive when SHTF. Its kinda cheesy, but pretty cool to see an old 6.2 powered truck on TV. I told my wife "See, when the zombies come, you're going to be happy to ride in my M1009." She just gave me that look and shook her head.:p Here's...

It should work out OK if it didn't hurt the block. I have a Navistar Block that spun a main bearing due to a broken oil cooler line. It came out of a '01 3500HD Power Co bucket truck. I am going to try to have it align honed, and buy a steel crank for to eventually repower my M1009. I have the...

Yes, David's work is always droolworthy! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/59207-fresh-resto-iii.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/53195-fresh-resto-ii-m1008.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/50614-new-resto-my-m1008.html BTW, Welcome to the board!!!

Oh man - That sucks!:cry: Any idea of why/what happened?

That's a pretty good set-up, but I would also install a mechanical temp gauge. I know there's already one in the truck but they are iffy at best, and temp and EGT is crucial, especially when towing. Being that you have the Turbo Master, it is really easy to melt one down if the EGT's and temp...

That is a great mod. The PMD's in the stock location nearly killed the reputation of the 6.5TD. I can't tell you how many people I've put DB2 pumps on the 6.5TD's for that very reason.

Got any pics of the border patrol M1009? I've always wondered how they marked and painted?

CARNAC gave me the following info, but I don't know what it means. 0349 RGT 1 BN - FT. GORDON, GA My bumper #'s are : 1AE/1571NF 1/349 18 I know my truck was a radio truck at some point. I am going to try to strip the paint and see if there are other numbers under the visible ones when I...

No, the VIN only designates whether it was a "C" or "J" code engine, and all CUCV's had J code 6.2's (non emissions) and of course the year the truk was built.
