:funny: and oh... so... true... myself included...

He is talking about turning the key off after the plugs cycle, then turning it on again to start another cycle, in cooler weather three or four cycles might help. What it does is allow the heat from the good plugs to warm the combustion chamber a little more for an easier start. I had one that I...

Generally after the white smoke starts rolling they will start, if your cranking speed is high enough. A set of glow plugs and probably a control card will probably do wonders for you. The 6.2 may not be a powerhouse, but if properly maintained, it is very reliable and quite economical. These...

At least you have a fine looking donor to start with!

They are using it for a shop truck now, it should not be too hard to catch again. I am thinking I should have my M1009 flamed when I get it home. It is Rod Harding, Classic Auto Body, here in Salina. He does most of the really nice ghost and flames around here. I will try to swing by there tomorrow.

A local body man bought this old Blazer to get a 4x4 chassis for his 1959 Chevy Pickup. The truck ran good and was not nearly as rough as he heard, so he painted it for a season or two of hunting. When I saw it go by at a quartering angle, I thought it was a M1009, it is not, just an old...

I would not run a 4:10 rear with a 4:56 front, that is a half a turn of the driveshaft per single revolution of the tires. 4:55 and 4:56 would be okay, 4:10 and 4:11 would be okay. We are talking about the rear tires pushing the front tires. I am betting it would be crazy in the slick. A...

I was in Riverside Park in Jefferson City Missouri today.....

It will tell him if his starter is functioning properly and he can look elsewhere. We all carry different mechanical histories and while some of us work off of meters, some of us never had that luxury and work off of the process of elimination. I can remember having a heated conversation with...

There was several of those in that auction as well. I should have hot footed it home to bid, there will probably be more...

Was anybody here lucky enough to get one? I was watching the one with 2383 miles showing on the clock and could not get my bid to go through on the cell phone. Somebody got lucky! They had 17 closing there today, wish I could have snagged one!

I can imagine that there was some nervous periods loading that M818 on that slick deck. Nice looking rigs, wish they were headed here!

I would look around your part of the country and find the best auto electronics repair guy in the country. Around here it is Randy at R&A Auto Electric. I would much rather take my starter or alternator to him and have it fixed than have new ones. I agree on the IP, some go 200K and some do...

I am in the same boat, only I use Power Service fuel treatment when it gets close to zero out. I never had one gel up on Power Service. I run Rotella in all my diesels, the Cummins I changed at 5000 miles. My 2003 held four gallons of oil and my 91 and 93 each had three gallon capacity. We...

It is a three year old thread, but hey! I could use a couple of M1009 wheels too! :-D

So, how did this trn out? Did your truck fire up for you or did you have it shipped home? I hope all went well for you!

I used a cell phone because that is all we have. It has been trouble free for us. I do not know how it is going to impede my EUC though as I am still waiting. Today is day 15, I understand I may have many more to wait. I just hope I bought a good one....

My wife could not care less. She has her little Honda Fit to buzz around the world in and she just tells me... "Whatever makes you happy." or "If you want one, buy one." She appreciates their ability in deep snow, but does not care to actually drive one. ;-) She had her right shoulder crushed...

I do not think they mark them paid until the EUC comes back or is approved from Battle Creek. I am waiting patiently, well.. semi-patiently..

When I pulled my M1008 apart to install a new lock cylinder, there was an arched spring with a little insulation left on it floating around in there. I put the column back together without that spring under the turn signal switch and everything seems to be fine. I am not sure what its intended...
