I've got an '86 M1009 that has AC. Came from GSA that way. Was up at Mt. Weather, VA Homeland Security and previously at Vint Hill, Va. Looks add on, but has a factory style control head in the dash.
Suppose I should take some pics and post them? Still haven't done that.
Of course it's cheaper to buy at GL than from a member who's outlayed $, taken the risk of the unknown truck, transported the truck, serviced the truck, etc, etc. My time is not free, nor do I think anyone else's here is. $3k or so for a nice deuce is a steal. M1008's sell for that and...

EUC is in process and I'd like to know if it'll run or not, and what the general condition is. It looks like I'm going to have it shipped (unless someone wants to make...
Agreed on the reputable shop thing.
As to the knocking stuff out of the filter, that would only happen if the shop were to REVERSE flush the fluid, and I don't know how that could be done?
Good transmission flush machines will empty all the fluid you put into them - meaning that if you must...
So, I own an auto repair shop and this question comes up often. How many miles are on the M1009 now? What is the fluid condition? Red & sweet smelling? Brown and burnt smelling? Black?
We flush hundreds of transmissions per year and I can't remember the last time one shifted worse after the...
