[Jblankster]

yep he is leaning toward the m1008 and just not driving on the highway. he wants a big diesel rugged truck. he is still gonna drive a m1009, m1008, and that GMC truck and decide.

I've got the 1009 and I've been using it as a daily driver since Feb/Mar 09. I love it. I was looking for a 1008, but I'm happy with my 1009.

Granted every truck is slightly different, but I have no issues cruising at 60-65 on the highway. My M1008 is my daily ride and I have had no issues for the past 12 months.

I have been daily driving an m1008 with m1009 axles under it for the better part of 8 yrs. I park it in the winter... I converted it to 12 volts, and made the glow plugs manual, and other than tightening up bolts that come loose, and general maintenance, I have not had any problems.
