    m1009 dies if you let off the gas too quickly, thoughts?

    My truck no longer has that issue... I can't really pick a particular thing I did that made it better, but before the problem went away I bled/primed the fuel filter, put in fresh fuel, replaced both batteries, replaced the glow plugs, and just plain drove it. The problem seemed to get less...

    m1009 dies if you let off the gas too quickly, thoughts?

    Well, evidently these trucks are magic. Maybe just mine. I spent 3 or 4 hours trying to diagnose it. First off, the deal was, we started it and drove it about 50 feet to the guy's garage so I could check and fill the tires. Shook hands and went to leave, it wouldn't start for anything. He had...

    The truck is about $3000, and the list off things I need to replace other than the stalling issue is pretty short. I still think the good is outweighing the bad.

    m1009 dies if you let off the gas too quickly, thoughts?

    if it needs an IP replacement, thats a black mark against it.. From what I've seen I can expect to spend over $500 and as much as $1000, and a week of downtime... Although the FAQ says more like $300, but I haven't found the place that will rebuild one for $300.

    My new m1009 Hi guys, I'm looking at picking up a CUCV M1009, I spent about 2 hours with it yesterday and overall I really like it. It starts up as easy as any new car, the engine sounds very very smooth, and it feels nice and powerful to drive. The issue that I have with it is that the engine...
