    M1009 has no power now that it's warmer in AZ?

    Thaaat's a bit Ummm... thaaaat's a wee bit too high. I live in rural west Ga... the pricing out here is lower than compared to a shop in Atlanta. Try finding a shop in a rural area to rebuild it.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    The wiper motor on my 86 M1008 is like that. I guess it just needs to wake up and get coffee before usage...

    Super Lug 9x16 tires

    If you want a taller skinny tire other than a 255 85 16, the only options are bias ply tires... and the tread life may vary.

    Super Lug 9x16 tires

    Toyo MT 255 85 16's.... they measure true to the advertised size; 33.5x10.2x16. Great tires. I run them on my 79 K20.

    Loud Bang Coming From the Rear (of my M1009)

    Your M1009 should have the infamous G80 "gov bomb" locker in the rear. It should NOT make any noise. The G80 does not operate like a full time Detroit locker. It only locks both axles when more throttle is applied. Otherwise it operates like an open diff.

    A local shop that rebuilds injection pumps for tractors rebuilt mine. It works just fine... If I remember correctly it cost me $580 for the rebuild.

    Which part number was the lift pump? When the engine is warm, can you turn on the heat and feel hot air coming out of the vents?

    M1009 has no power now that it's warmer in AZ?

    Water pump issue was internal Emissions?? Next time you fire up the engine and gets warm, pull the oil dipstick. If there's noticeable smoke blowing out of the dipstick tube, you have a blow by issue. Did you ever change lift pump?

    M1009 has no power now that it's warmer in AZ?

    If the engine is not rattling like a metal trash can with rocks in it on a cold start, it's either a worn out engine, fuel issues or both. It should be a noisy lol.

    M1009 has no power now that it's warmer in AZ?

    These n/a 6.2 diesels don't exactly run hot to begin with... Had these symptoms on my 86 M1008; excessive blow by, 190 coolant temps, down on power, no heat coming out of the vents. Turns out the water pump was the culprit. Changed it out and now the engine never gets warmer than 150 degrees...

    Gen 1 Light

    85 M1008 factory 24V system. When I start the truck, the light does not come on and the needle on the gage is in the green, but close to the beige . When I bring up the rpm's to around 1500 the light comes on and the needle goes halfway into the beige. I don't have a voltmeter and all...

    6.2 started ticking on me

    Yes, a 6.2 diesel will eventually shake any type of fasteners loose. I've learned this the hard way lol
