    M1009 Engine RPM

    I have a 1985 M1009, approximately 50,000 miles on it. It starts easy, and runs great. Problem is, when started cold, it fires right up and the cold advance/fast idle seem to work great, abut 2 minutes into the warm up, the RPM start to climb slowly, until it is racing pretty good. Once it...

    Stumbling and stalling out CUCV

    Another not starting post.

    You can do that in the truck, easier if the motor is already out, but it can be done. My dad owned a machine shop when I was a kid. I rebuilt my first 350 at 12 years old. It is not hard, but the machinery and tooling is big, and expensive. You can tear it all apart your self, farm it out...

    M1009 Quad shock front end
