thank for this post, really did help me have a better look on the 6.2 from a big picture standpoint. I appreciate The info!

Thanks guys, really loving all the input

Did you already do said upgrade or are you preparing to do it? Regardless I'm interested in the results

now that's impressive

It's in the process. I'd have the money if **** would stop hitting the fan with my current truck. It's aggravating -_-

Nice. I'm just trying to find something that will make me unique that will last. Next year I'm going to school to b a GM mechanic and school is 33 miles away so something that gets decent hwy for a truck is a nice option too lol.

Something tells me you love your m1009. Can't quite put my finger in why though. Mmmm

Alright thanks for that! And what of the relay mod?

Are they really that bad of a motor or do the previous owners I've seen just not know how to properly maintain there...

And thanks, at least now I know what to expect!

thanks, luckily I have til next sept to work out any kinks and my money, although I don't make a whole lot, only goes towards fuel and smaller bills, so I will gladly be able to put some money worth it into this truck

Name's Brandon, hopefully soon to be proud owner of a m1009. I'm young, but not stupid so hopefully you guys will help me with my journey in the military vehicle world. Thanks!

Thanks guys I really appreciate it. I've always wanted a k5, and now a nice opportunity has arrived to get a military one and I like it. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a terrible idle first lol

I do, I am currently driving a ford ranger 97 with a 4.0 it will last me awhile but I prefer not to strain her to much cause she has a knock at the moment. Still runs strong and fine, well maintained and will be great as a back up option.

Now I was trying to get a 6.2 powered vehicle as a daily driver and I saw a m1009 for sale. it's an 86 with 44k. New thm400, new rear from military, new locking hubs, new harmonic balancer, aftermarket trans cooler and converted to new electric fuel pump. Does have a slight lift cause its...
