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...
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...
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.
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
