I'm currently using AC-Delco 60G's with a manual control switch on my M-1009. No problems starting at all down to 0F. And i lean on that switch for two cycles of the WAIT TO START light. Out of curiosity i pulled the plugs after last winter. No sign of swelling or degradation. I also use the...

That ----2221 number is a good one, so is the price. My local Chevy store had one in stock (?) about a year and a half ago. The counterman never even batted an eye.

98,000 just today on an M-1009. About 18,000 of those are mine. Some attention to the starter, batteries, glow plugs, etc. has made it very reliable in the cold. Smokes some when starting cold but not otherwise. My 2002 gmc with a 6.5 has 257,000 miles. Ditto the cold start smoke. But, otherwise...

The wooden block and bottle jack on the oil pan does work. The transmission mount will act to stabilize the whole thing. When i get it high enough to do the work, some carefully placed wooden wedges act as "jackstands". I usually get them between the crossmember and the oil pan. If the bottle...

Those are very good points. It is sometimes too easy to forget that to some people a car is just a car is just another car. Crazy, i know, but there are a LOT of people like that it seems. My wife says there are hundreds of different kinds of roses. THEY all smell the same to me.

Recently i've had some encounters with former servicemen and women that have left me somewhat confused. Well, even more so than usual. Specifically, they did not seem to know what i was refering to when i mentioned, or they saw, my 1009. Most of these people were Army, and i do not have any idea...

Good Morning, You mentioned "fair" M-37's. Say, maybe fair enough to rehabilitate to be driveable? Not necessarily to restore as a show piece, but just make reasonably reliable. I'd be interested in looking at them, if so. Thanks, in advance, jj.

Three belts in the back seat. And Congratulations. Cubed.

Uh, per post #7, YOU can't, your daddy can. BIG difference.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. As usual, i just don't get it. I'm getting back in the boat now.

I give up. Why does a seventeen year old in high school need four trucks?

BUT, what happens when you DON'T swerve? Hit the kid on the skateboard, cripple him, maybe kill him? Watch how many "witnesses" come out of the woodwork to report that "the driver of that big green truck" never even tried to avoid hitting the kid! Watch and see what the back of the phone book...

There is a recent post on www.dieselplace.com about a 3-53 Detroit in an older jeep. Look under the 6.5 or the 6.2 forum for the thread entitled: DETROIT. I think the second page had the link to another site with the original story. Pretty interesting. It almost looked right at home, and the guy...

This cat could be like those earnest young citizens who have thrown off their parental bounds and sought enlightenment at university. Specifically, the one up the street from me. Some of THEM like to hurl themselves in front of my 1009 at traffic lights and in parking lots, admonishing me about...

Thanks to both of you! It looks like a mid nineties Cheby? Anything special? I mean like 6.5's or 4L80e's? Are they 24volt?

Uh, i'm a little slow. Well, OK, a LOT slow, what's a CUCV-II? If only i knew how to make the "This Thread Is Useless Without Pics" doohickey.

GM has been doing something SORT of like this for years, ever since they got murdered in that exploding pick-up truck fuel tank deal. You know, the 73 to 87's with the outside the frame rail fuel tanks. My local dealership parts guys said the corporate doublespeak for the project was "punitive...

When i've gone after master cylinder replacements before, when i didn't know the RPO codes or the correct part number in advance, the deciding factor has always been the size of the brakes. Specifically, "usually" the size of the rear drums. I've never owned a vehicle with rear discs. That being...

Man, i feel your pain. This situation would drive me to a dark shelter and the fetal position. Clearly SOMETHING WAS WRONG. But now it isn't. The suspense of waiting for it to rear it's ugly head again would be BAD. And as Mr. Murphy has pointed out, it will re-appear at the least opportune...

Thanks for the response Kenny. This has had me puzzled for some time. I had the TH400 in my 79 gasser rebuilt three years ago because i got tired of the oil slick underneath it. Yeah, i know, i could have bought a lot of DexronIII for $954, but anyway, the convertor that came out had three...
