My 85 1009 shows 99,000 miles but I would guess 199,000.My 86 1009 shows 43,000 miles and I think its fairly close to that.

The body on that luv looks pretty good!

I like your idea on the manual switch.Have you posted a how-to on this that I could read?

Search 1009 resistor bypass on youtube,I used a 140a circuit breaker.

Awesome truck.

Gonna be 18 here tonight,might do a cold start vid.in morning.

Gave my 70 yr old Dad a ride into town in my 86 1009, to pay some bills on the way home he says when does this thing hit 3rd gear? I told him we were in third gear in town.He was impressed on how it pulled from 30mph-60mph in third,and told me I should get an OD trans.Thanks Dad.This 1009 was...

I added a Jatonka winter grill cover,rotella T6 and napa 1794 filter,hot-start tps-151gt-000 block heater.When I ran 15w-40 oil it sounded like it wanted to blow up.Love the t6.My 4th yr with a 1009 as my only vehicle so hoping for the best.I would like to add some temro batt. heaters tho. When...

Starting one of these at 20 degrees-vs- -20 is like comparing strawberrys to pineapples.If you want it to start at -20 you will need to prepare.I think Im almost prepared,but we will see.

Its been getting pretty cold these past few years.I would advise on keeping it 24v,run your 12v supply from front batt.with a heavier gauge cable to a 140amp circuit breaker that way it still has a 12v shut off that wont effect rest of system.I think if you search cucv 140a circuit breaker you...

I couldn't own a shop and fix up these cucvs as nice as you do Cucvrus,I would want to keep them.

Congrats,and deff.check coolant it would be terrible if someone ran water only in it,especially if it had a bad headgasket and water is in oilpan.Im assuming you are the youngster in the cab.Great seeing such a interest in these old trucks from the newer generation crowd.A vast amount of...

Ill bet you never have to go thru that pain again!I check my GPs every oil change now.I learned because this is my second 1009.Its also a really good idea to do a compression check when changing the GPs,if you weren't 4 hrs away Id help you out.Maybe a local diesel mech.has a gauge to lend.

On my 86 1009,24v starter,GP resistor bypass,manual only 60g GPs.I glow 15-20 seconds when below 30 degrees,fires right up.If its parked for more than 2 hrs and below 75 out I glow it for 5-10 seconds and fires right up.If I don't glow when below 75 it cranks maybe 5-7 seconds.This 1009s...

Sorry the vid. does exist but for some reason not linking.If you want to see search rsh4364 on youtube.

Search cucv gp resistor bypass and weigh the options.This is how I wired mine.http://youtu.be/vCOWlJpnE8k

No offense to anyone,but this is a good example of why I did the GP resistor bypass,manual GP switch and run the 60g plugs.On my first 1009 the resistor ate 8 new GPs in a week.Now I know my GPs are getting 12v.

$1.99 for a 5' section,and only needed 3/4" per side,cost effective.Pexmod complete.

Virtually free fuel,road trip and grandkids,sounds like a great day.My son is in Navy and I hardly see my grandkids,always stationed to far away.You are a lucky man.
