Nice! I am thinking about it. It seems that it would cost me more to buy the parts I need in order to see it run diesel. I am thinking of rebuilding it out of the truck just to get familiar with it. I am planning to get another truck in the future. M1008 or M1009...My son wants one now so I am...

Thanks

Where about are you turnkey?

That makes sense, I have been looking and everyone in the city is looking to get a fortune for the diesel trucks. I found a nice diesel suburban but the guy isn't coming down from the 1.1k mark. I'd trade my running gasser K5 with all its spare parts for a complete diesel K series truck

@Florida I know I need time, tools, cash, and muscle. The missus doesn't care about what i am back in the yard doing as long as there is air conditioning in there once i am done. @Scar, my plans are to rip out that boat anchor and try to trade my running gasser for a diesel K series truck.

This is for certain seeing as how I know absolutely nothing about diesels. I have to figure out how to get that dead block out of the truck which shouldn't be to hard, I'm becoming a YouTube certified mechanic. Afterwards I'm going to clean everything up, por 15 everything I can. Do something...

You guys are freaking awesome!

Thanks

Scar, thanks for the great advice. I am going to pursue the new engine. Between the 6.2 burb engine and the 6.2 military are there differences or is it just pull off the front clips yank the engine, torgue converter, and tranny then install? I haven't ever done an engine swap before, but I am...

If you're talking about the one that eats your wallet slowly and consumes you with the overwhelming urge to buy parts, parts trucks, and tools then I am stage 3 already. And Central Illinois eh? I may call on you soon for help. Willing to work for beer and food?

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, here's my freshly towed in rig. I now have to rebuild it into a daily driver.... The missus has already deduced that there is no ac so I can't keep both K5's

Thanks

Thanks for the welcome, i have my camera so I'll be shooting pics of everything that happens

Good morning everyone, I am a new member stopping by to say hello. I am picking up my very first M1009 in a few hours actually, I'll have it towed home and placed in my backyard. Previous owner robbed the diesel engine of parts(list will be included at the bottom) and I have absolutely no...
