I think I’m going to turn the fuel up just a hair but overall this turbo spools so much faster than my old gm4.

So my m1009 runs well around town (5,000-6,000ft) and runs well up the highway (9,000ft or so) but I start getting black smoke at anything higher. At 10,000ft+ it smokes at idle. My egt’s never get much over 900*f.
Should the injector pump compensate for elevation change?
As far as I know my...
These little buggers just will not leave my cucv alone. I keep finding small nests around it (underneath, door jams, under hood) and no matter how quickly I remove and spray with wasp killer they seem to just try somewhere else. Short of covering the entire vehicle in poison does anybody have...
So my 14 bolt hub seal which I had recently replaced a few months ago was leaking again. After some research and logic I looked at parts for newer trucks after seeing mention of newer ford Dana 60's using a seal that rode on itself instead of the spindle. A 2001 Chevy 3500 uses the same style...
Found a probably basket case m1008 on the Denver craigslist. Has a gasser 350 in it for $1800obo. The one picture makes it look decently clean. If I had room I'd probably own it and save it.
I've tried searching but it would seem either its not a typical topic or the search isn't functioning as it should.
I'm in need of a new oil pan. I have an arctic kit pan currently thats seem better days. It's leaking from the reinforcement plate where the dip stick feeds into it as well as...
Hey guys,
ive installed a 6.5 turbo setup in my m1009 and I'm having trouble adjusting the throttle vacuum valve to get my shift points back to where they were because of the intake manifold coming into contact with the upper vacuum fitting. Does anybody have a trick to getting it to clear...
I've been watching adventure week on motor trend's Youtube channel and saw a sweet m1008 with a trailer bed on it. Just wondering if that person is on here as I'd like to read more about it.
There's also an m37 and a flat fender jeep on the trip.
Here's the first video...
Well was on the way to the furniture store and while slowing down for a light, the truck started to chug like it was going to die and was making a grinding noise, I was able to quickly get off onto a side street and by the time I came to a stop it died. It felt the same as when you don't release...
Hey all,
I just moved from Chicago to Denver and was wondering if there was anything in particular I should do for the elevation change? I plan on driving some trails a bit higher than denver (about 8k feet) or so.
I've seen reference to a high altitude trans modulator valve. Anything IP...
I had to leave my m1009 at my folks house a few months ago when I moved from Chicago to Denver (turns out it was too wide for any available trailer I could rent).
I was finally able to get back to Chicago to make the 1,000 mile trip back to denver in it. I'm both excited and nervous. I figure...
Hey All,
Ive been slowly chasing a fix for my m1009's jarring feeling over bumps and had a quick question about my front springs and if they're too arched or not. I've searched but haven't come to any definitive answers as too how much (or how little arc) they should have. I know they're reverse...
I purchased an m1009 a few months ago that originally had an arctic kit at one point (the under hood heaters were long gone) and I ended up removing the rotten wood from the rear cargo area. The rear seat had spacers under the mounting pads and for the rear locking mechanism.
My question is...
