So my brother is in Reno trying to recover an M1009 he got from GL. It's missing the starter bracket (gear reduction) and the starter itself has a crack in it but I think he can get a replacement pretty easily. I know these brackets are tough to come by and you usually have to go through a...

K9Vic, That's a really impressive build! I remember seeing the earliest posts when you brought it home and started working on it. I'm particularly interested in how you installed the rear tire rack. I have an M1009 and as I've read on this site, those outside corner mounts tend to tear up...

I've seen plenty of really nice bedlined projects on here and I'm itching to do the same. I'll have a project on my hands though because I already stuck a bunch of roofing underlayment down to the metal. That's going to be a real PITA to take up and then prep again. K9Vic dis you DIY yours? Any...

Since this forum is so thoroughly helpful in getting and keeping our trucks running with all the "How To" topics. I thought I'd share. "How To" of a slightly different nature. First a brief background. My brother is always working on something on his daily driver M1009, in Boulder CO. This...

I bought a full vinyl floor liner kit from Stock Interiors last year. It was and still is a terrible fit. I bought it with the jute backing and it came with two dinky pieces of jute padding, neither of which fit anywhere in the truck. I'm starting to think I ordered/they sent me the wrong one...

Twomorestrokes, Please disregard my questions above. I just read through your build thread and it's obviously all there. Should've read that first oh well, still a really sweet build that I hope to do myself one day.

Twomorestrokes, That's a really sharp setup and exactly what I would like to do to my M1009. Did the necessary gauges, Boost and EGT, come from the Burb too or did you have to go aftermarket for those? Also, where did you mount them in the cab? I was reading somewhere that the Isuzu TD...

Hello All, I'm hoping some of you with bodywork experience can offer some suggestions as to how to deal with a recent issue I've just discovered on my M1009. I have what appear to be some surface rust spots on top of the cab, one I particular just above the driver side has been in need of...

I'm in the process of figuring out the cheapest way to get this exhaust system from my brother in Boulder, to me in Cleveland. I have a loading dock at my end, my brother does not but this is an item that can be hand carried onto a truck/trailer all day long. If anyone has a route like that...

Doghead, Do you happen to know the part number for the front spring too?

Hello all, I've been considering a variety of auxilliary electrical gizmos (mostly amplifiers, but some lights eventually too) for my M1009. I've read numerous posts on here regarding which battery to use for a chassis ground system (front) and which for the isolated ground (rear). I...

Keith J, PM me your address if you like and I'll send you one of my spares. They're not perfect, but I have a few I've pulled off at the junkyard and I doubt I'll need them. I think I have chrome and black, the black is yours if you want it. Cheers, Hollowman

Thanks for the feedback Southdave. Now i'm wondering if it would be possible to swap out the stock intake manifold with one from the 6.5 in order to use the mounting bosses. I've been looking around for drawings of the two intakes to compare layouts but I'm coming up with little or no...

I wanted to do a spin on filter mod and I decided I'd get the Stanadyne FM100 fitted with the W.I.F sensor and the heater. I ordered it from The Diesel Store and when it arrived, I found the pictured unit in the box. Evidently this is the "Top Load" style unit and, while I like the way...

O.K. so I'm glad to read that MyAngry85 got to the bottom of the problem, kudos on your persistence! The question is still lingering in my mind however, as to how the top of the IP being removed related to the loose ground. The one condition which allowed the truck to start each time was that...

Twright, That's a really impressive result on your truck! I've been wishing I could redo mine but Im at a loss as.to where to take it. I'd do it myself but for all the limitations, no space, can't get the CARC, no experience, new baby at home. I'm looking for someone to do the work near me...

CPAPPY, Are you using the "new" two part waterbourne formula CARC? Do you have the item numbers for the two parts? I've been trying to get my local Cleveland chemical coatings store to get me some and they keep giving me the runaround and raising the price each time I ask. If you'll give me...

Wayne, Thanks for the advice. I hadn't considered the hydrolock situation with sense as its a very small amount that I add to the intake. I did figure that the starting fluid warning had a lot to do with the compression and possible detonation and things giving way as a result of the very...

What did you do with the water in fuel sensor/circuit?

Good point. As I said, mine does the same thing so I'll definitely be following this thread closely. I was going to have the IP changed out in hopes that it would fix it but since it seems it didn't help your situation, I'm going to skip it for now. I'm doing the filter mod because I'm...
