    Alfa Heaven just put up a Sweet M1009

    Did Tom say if the updated contol module was a new GM part? When I fried mine I looked up the part# from the old board on GM parts direct. It came up valid so I went to my local chevy truck dealer & got it. It is simpler then the old one & is a REV2. Just wondering if it's the one he is...

    Alfa Heaven just put up a Sweet M1009

    Well I'll be able to give you a detailed write up on this truck. One of the members of my MV club just put a deposit on it. He is buying this one because he's so impressed with mine. The truck came back from Germany. I do remember one thing Tom the owner of Alfa told me. You can absolutely find...

    Photo opportunty for my baby.

    Re: RE: Photo opportunty for my baby. It's a shame, but there are a few left. Only good thing is that our property values keep going up. At least I'll have plenty of cash to buy a good quantity of acreage in the woods when I'm ready to sell.

    Photo opportunty for my baby.

    They just cleared a few acres of woods near my job for a new shopping center. They didn't post any No Trespassing signs (very rare on Long Island, NY) so got to play a little with my M1009. Sure wish it would snow this year.

    Say Hello & Show Off My M1009

    RE: Re: RE: Say Hello & Show Off My M1009 Yes I would buy again. I found Tom the owner to be honest. If he lists one of his trucks as rust free I'm sure it will be. When I was there he was half done with a M1008. The truck was just painted & completely striped of windows, bumpers, lights, ect...

    Say Hello & Show Off My M1009

    Re: RE: Say Hello & Show Off My M1009 The interior is very nice. Most of the metal was repainted with CARC. My dash was re-dyed & has 2 small very cracks in the speaker grill area. The gauge panel is brand new as are both door panels. All the seats have been re-dyed. The rear & passenger...

    Say Hello & Show Off My M1009

    OK, to answer the tire questions. The tall tires throw off the Speedo buy just about 10mph. Truck fuel mileage turned into real math to figure out. Funny how a 21hr trip by yourself with no radio gives you plenty of time to work out mileage buy using mile markers on the road. The passenger tire...

    Say Hello & Show Off My M1009

    I had several problems and will list each separately.When I picked up the truck the 24volt gauge was on the low side but still in the green. Made it home fine but 2 days later the batteries were dead. The ones in it were cheap Champion brand and about 4 years old. Got 2 new 1000cca high quality...

    Say Hello & Show Off My M1009

    I got it from Alfa Heaven. The tires are the Goodyear Bias Milirary OZ's. I like the looks of them but the truck still has the stock 3.08's & it's a total dog on take off. It does get near 25 miles to the Gal. & easly cruise at 80+ on the highway. In the next few months I'll be doing a gear...

    Say Hello & Show Off My M1009

    Hello, I bought my first MV in Oct. A 1985 M1009. Nice condition, runs mint. Had 56K when I picked it up from WI. Drove it home to Long Island, NY. I use it most of the week. I even did a 2 day trip to TN & back to pick up an M116 I bought. It now has 61K & know I could take it to CA & back with...
