    M1009 turbo build

    It's best to find a donor vehicle to pull all the parts you need. Everything from the 6.5 should transfer over to a 6.2. Oil to turbo line and the drain, headers, crossover pipe, and intake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    Do you have any pics of your setup and any pics that would help with doing the install? About two weeks ago my box filter was leaking from the lowest hole and I had to run get a replacement filter before I loaded it up on a trailer to head to the river. A spin on filter would be great and I know...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    18° out. Let the glow plugs warm up a little longer and it fired up fast. My problem is fixed.

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    I drove it to work yesterday and the wait to start light has been working fine. I wait about 5-10 seconds before I hit the starter. It starts better than it EVER has! https://vimeo.com/119693184

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    changed the glow plugs today and it started right up really easy! Waited till the wait light went off. The glow plugs came out really easy. Just checked it after its sat for about five hours and the wait light didn't turn on and when it disengaged the glow plugs it clicked on and off like it...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    So I've noticed with my M1009 that it won't start unless I put a 12v 50amp battery charge on the front battery. The resister is bypassed. The glow plugs cycle a lot faster with the extra power on the front battery. It won't start without it unless it's already been running. When I tried it...

    Ammo can tool box's..(Pics)

    Haha. The seat works well enough and has great ventilation for super hot days. Kinda have to "know" how to sit in it but it'll make you a little stiff after a day of wheeling. I have a set of seats out of a dodge to put in there but I haven't had time to fab up the mounts or even think about...

    Very nice. I used some ammo cans to mount speakers in my M1009.

    33/10.50/15 tires on a M1009

    They don't rub all the time but flexed, it's really bad. I have tread missing from rubbing the fenders and the fenders are pretty messed up now too. It's worse on the drivers side than the passenger side.

    33/10.50/15 tires on a M1009

    4" lift. Off road they rub the fenders really bad in the front. No issues in the back. I removed the sway bar which made the tires rub more. 33" On road there are no issues so it depends on what you are going to do with your truck.

    Water Outlet, Engine question

    I've patched my floor! Works pretty well for what it is. EVENTUALLY I'll fix it right but time and $ are factors right now.

    M1008 overdrive ?

    But I'm looking at doing it. Unless I find a donor truck.

    M1008 overdrive ?

    I read that the 4L60 is just a renamed 700R4. Other than the controller, what's the difference?

    M1008 overdrive ?

    What automatic trans would you recommend for the 6.2 with a future cummins swap planned for later? I know a guy that wants my TH400 and he said he has a 700R4 or a 4L60(I think he said it's a 60 but could be a 4L80, I'll have to check). It'd be a straight swap and I'd have to find a controller...

    having a few problems with my m1009

    It takes about one and a half turns of a slipping tire for the gov lock to engage under power. It acts like a open diff till it locks. Update. I did have issues with my rear axle not locking up this past weekend off-road. I think I used the wrong gear oil which will cause it not to work...

    Yeah I was thinking about patching with spray adhesive and plastic till I can replace the floor!

    Water Outlet, Engine question

    My m1009 has the same issue. The bottom bolt broke the housing. I used an orileys seal and it still leaks. I am thinking about trying to use rtv silicone to make a better seal. In the meantime I've just kept water in it so I can keep it full on the trails or putting around town. The floors leak...
