I’m looking too! Haha I know there was a guy in Europe that had an extended cab with less than 100k. Good condition. I believe he wanted 25k and that included shipping to the states

I’m putting this project to the side unfortunately. The rust is worse than I thought. I was looking in between the panels underneath. I would never be able to remove it all. And financially I don’t think it’ll be worth it anymore. THIS TRUCK WILL NOT GO TO THE SCRAP YARD THOUGH. Gonna save it...

I’ve thought about sealing off the door to the rear of my M1010 but it’s a feature that’s grown on me over the last year I’ve had it. It’s so convenient. I can easily hop in the back to grab something if need be. So personally, I would advise keeping the walk through. I can snap a ton of...

I plan on making a custom swing out tire carrier. If you plan on making one as well, then this kit off amazon is a staple for any fabrication you plan on doing. Has the most important part, the hinge. And the reviews are pretty positive. Actual has a bearing in it. DIY4x4 has a bumper with a...

I was having issues uploading them! But here they are. I might be able to use the steering column too! We will see. Plus it comes with a 4L80E. So far these are the parts I'm going to take of the 2500: 1. Exhaust manifolds 2. Intake manifold and plenum assembly 3. Turbo and air filter setup...

I appreciate it. I ended up ordering a new ignition actuator with key from LMC.

I'm such an impulse buyer. I was surfing govplanet and a 94 2500 6.5 turbo diesel went up for auction in PA. About 5 hrs away. It had the turbo and serpentine system intact and a like new exhaust on it. Listed as a non runner, so it's a gamble. And it just so happens, I'm a gambling man. I...

Been reading over the stickys and helpful threads. So much info. Also managed to print the entire maintenance Manual. So many pages but I prefer paper manuals over PDF files. So the headlight harness popping fuses issue will hopefully go away with the LMC heavy duty harness I just bought. We...

If you were closer to VA I would try to take the m1009 off your hands!

So today I took my 2/0 cables off my M1010 and installed them on the M1009. I cleaned the 24v bus, grounding bus, glowplug relay, and 12v bus. Wire brushed them back to clean metal and reassembled. Checked the fuse panel and found 4 burnt out fuses. And when I hooked everything up the lights on...

you and I think alike!!! I have those exact battery terminals on my M1010. Going to switch them over tomorrow. Just temporarily. See if I can get the M1009 started. And if it fires up, I’ll go ahead and make another set. Posted some pictures in the post above.

You are absolutely right. I usually don’t skimp out on battery cables, i shouldn’t have tried to cheap it out. I was just trying to fire up the truck without spending any money on new material. I learned my lesson! Here are a few pictures of my M1010 battery cables I made myself. I have a...

YIKES! Looks like we have the same issues. I gotta redo the wiring and put a more permanent solution together.

Perhaps. But the starter sounded strong and it was whipping that engine up. I need to buy another parts cucv and scavenge some parts together. Who has a cucv they wanna sell? Haha

I noticed when I turned the key forward the dash lights never came on. Couldn’t turn the headlights on. Voltage gauge never had a reading. But I could turn the heater fan on though. So there’s power. I kept moving the shifter on the column back and forth and playing with the glow plug toggle...
