Can you guys quit whoring up my thread? Thanks.

Hate to start a new thread, so I'll bump this one :cookoo: Finally got a pic:

Once you fix the EGR stuff it's a good motor as long as you take care of it. The reason Ford got rid of the motor was because of tightening gov emmisions requirements, just like the 7.3.

It's not a problem anymore because I bought a 2004 F-250 w/ a Powerstroke. I only use the M1009 when I need to back the trailer into the backyard because of the shorter wheelbase.

An M1010 has 1.25 ton axles and 4.56 gearing, you should have no problem.

I don't know if you've looked or not, but it's not mounted to the bumper. It's mounted to the frame! And I've rented U-haul trailers before with a bumper mounted ball (rated Class 3) on my K3500. As long as it's rated Class 2 or higher for the dolly, or Class 3 or higher for the auto transport.

And a deuce is only rated for a 10,000lbs trailer :wink: I was using a pintle/2" ball combo rated for way more than the towed weight. The truck was within its limits, barely. Max payload is rated at 1500lbs and I was at 900lbs.

I towed a big boat with my m1009, what's the most you've towed? I took my M1009 CUCV to go pickup a boat I had purchased last week 250 miles away in Mobile, AL. Using the 2" ball/pintle hitch, I connected everything and headed back to Birmingham. The truck towed the ~5000+ lb load just fine...
