I took one of my M1009s down into the Flint Hills yesterday on a Geocaching mission. If you have never visited the Flint Hills of south central Kansas, you are missing some wonderful eye candy. We hit 22 Geocaches yesterday, the highlight being Remote Chance, a Geocache placed by Invena of...

I just used an angle from an old aluminum diamond plate tool box, cut about a 3x3x6" section and drilled two holes in the cross brace tube, just ahead of the rear bumper. I used 1/4"x1.5" bolts and bolted the angle to the tube, then the plate to the angle with 1/4x1/2" bolts. The top of the...

It should be directly proportionate to your speed, say it reads 66 on the speedometer and it is actually running 60, at half that it should be 33 and 30. Ten percent in this example. There are some exceptions though, if the cable is binding and snapping forward, the needle will read much higher...

Isspro R8900 Tach Kit for 6.2L/6.5L GM Diesel

All three of mine will lock up. My M1008 almost has too much brake running empty. Especially the first few stops on a moist morning.

How bad you need one? I have two and all they do is hold my air gauges. Willing to pay postage? That is pretty high dollar stuff right there! :-P Glen

Both of mine are stranded in the middle of Kansas. Bet the fall colors are cranking it on up there!

Wow! Last years thread... it works though!

Make sure the belt is not shot and or slipping. If that is good, have an alternator shop check it. It is normal to come on during start up and stay on until the engine gains a little rpm. All of mine stay out once they go out. I have had to have two out of eight rebuilt. Glen

I did stumble into his site on the search, looks like he does a good job! Glen

Thanks guys, it is as I suspected. I should have told him I had 10 bullet holes in my body to see if he had 20..... Glen

I stopped by the local Auto Zone to buy a set of jumper cables, I had a nice set made out of welding leads, maybe 40ish years ago. Somebody decided they needed them worse than I did, so I bought a set of 2 gauge cables with some nice clamps on them. Anyway, I roll up in my M1009 and a guy...

Those are the good schtuff.... looks killer!

I know Rhino Lining is super tough stuff if applied correctly. In the setup stage, it cannot be exposed to any moisture or it chemically reacts and turns to Rhino foam. The crap is next to impossible to get off. We had to air chisel a bed once, before the liner had fully set up and several...

65 or 67 days on my first one. I actually got to the point I was hoping they would cancel the auction. Glen

I was watching, wanting and drooling, hoping one would make it to Kansas.... Nice looking truck! Glen

Do a search for Chevrolet or 6.2 on GL. In the past they have been dumping 6.2 engines as they replaced them with the 6.5 engines. Sometimes they will include two or three in one auction. Post up in the classifieds here, we have some members with spares.

I agree, be sure your connections are all good. My first M1008 would do this occasionally and if I could get somebody else to hold the key in the start position, the closest battery terminal to the radiator on mine would blow a whiff of smoke. Enough contact to run everything else, but not...

Air cleaner wing nuts tight? When I picked up my second M1009 it had an off and on sucking and rattling sound, the air cleaner was really loose.

Hello from Kansas! I have never been to the Houston or Austin areas of that huge chunk of land we call Texas. Been across the northern half a few times and messed around in the western part of the state on a couple of road trips. I always told myself I was going to go down there, maybe my 5 ton...
