Hello all Due to financials, I couldn't work on my truck shortly after purchase 2.5 years ago. Well things have changed, and I'd love more than anything to be driving the old girl around now, after a hibernation. Now it will now be my lack of knowledge and skill that holds me back...

I've seen someone in a sand colored m1009 driving literally a mile from my house, twice in as many weeks. Is it one of yous guyz?

I think. You guys are experts on these trucks, while I'm novice level, trying to learn. Well here is my issue... I let the truck sit a little too long (only a few weeks), and after that, well it didn't start right. I don't know if it's supposed to or not, but my glow plug controller used to...

I searched for the better part of an hour, and I couldn't find the answer, so please don't shoot me! lol I let my m1009 sit a little to long between cranks, and now she doesn't start, dead batteries. Would a 12 volt battery charger be able to get the job done? I know one of the batteries...

I've searched a little (not a lot, don't kill me), and from what I have read, the max boost on a 6.2, safely, is 10 psi. Then they talk about running into physical limitations, without further elaboration. I have read this in more than one spot. I'm kinda new to these trucks, but I have a...

I was driving my old girl around town today, and the shifting seemed a little funny to me. Granted this is only the 4th day I've had her out on the town, I had some small issues with her that I got sorted out, so I don't have a ton of experience with these things. While she was cold, or semi...

I searched, didn't find anything, but I'm sure its been asked before. How exactly do you get the top off? I know the bolts and such, I'm wondering on the logistics side... I heard (probably here) that it weighs 200 lbs, so while I could move it, I doubt I could move it delicately to avoid...

I saw an article in this month's Diesel World, which discussed turbocharging the old Ford NA diesels, and our beloved 6.2. On the 6.2, torque jumped from ~260 to 380 ft-lbs, and hp rose from ~140 to 200!! That sounds like a pretty big difference to me, and I was wondering if anyone here had...

The last drive I had with my m1009, was a troubled one, and without going into it too much (I may have solved a different fuel issue), I thought I felt too much heat coming from the transmission housing. It could be my paranoia, but it felt pretty warm after a short limp home. Warm to the...

I searched, and looked at the FAQ, and that is leading me to believe the m1009 only has one fuel filter, correct? And what's the advantages of converting to the spin on type?

I found a video on youtube, where these guys are trying to start their m1009, and you can hear these clicks as the glow plug relay cycles on. Mine worked perfectly fine for 3 days, I heard no sounds like this, now it has problems starting. I'm just wondering if mine is different, or...

So I've had my m1009 all of three days, and I am trying to figure out where it shifts (auto). The shifts were a little rough at first, but now they are silky smooth. So smooth, I might be in third and not know it. That's all these trucks have is 3 gears right? No overdrive? If I'm just...

... like it was a MP vehicle or something, but I was under the impression MP's used blue lights just like the civilian police force. Am I wrong? So what was this vehicle used for? I'm just curious because it has reeeeeaaly low miles.
