Up untill the beginning of last year,1008s and 1009s and an occasional 1031 could be seen running up and down RT9 from Camp Smith in Peekskill NY. Mostly M1009s though.

So you made what 2K after the parts and your labor? No too many 1028s kicking around. :cookoo:

Nice paint job. May I suggest this for your console?

Nice score! Haul away!

If you are new to diesels, it is not uncommon to have to cycle the GPs a few times in cold weather or if the truck sits for extended periods of time. The knock you hear is more than likely just a cold 6.2. High compression indirect injected diesels are noisy when cold. As far as the black smoke...

I'll have to look into USAA, Are their rates cheaper?

I guess as long as the Vin appears on the insurance card, they dont care what it's called. LOL.

Pretty shoddy investigative work on progressives part. the 5th character in the VIV# denotes the truck as 4X4 military and may have thrown them off. The 7th as a Blazer/jimmy, The 8th being engine type. If you tried to get insurance based on the M1009 designation, they would have no idea what...

Ok, here is The VIN# as printed on the inspection receipt. 1GBHD34J4GF******. The 8th character of course being the engine type, J code diesel. The eleven characters should be identical to your M1031. Thanks for your input. I'll contact NYS DMV and find out why it comes back as a gas fueled...

I fully understand the D30 designation, Vic. When I said my friend was breaking my stones, If you have never heard that term, it means he was kidding around with me. He knows exactly what the truck is. The thread I posted was not about what NYS or any other DMV designates the vehicle as, it was...

Strange right? I figured it's no big deal, odd mine came back as a gasser though.

I had my truck inspected last saturday at the garage I hang out at. My friend Ronny jr, always the stone breaker asked me, "What is this thing" a K10? No JR, it's a K30 I insultedly replied. When he gave me the receipt, he said it came through as a gasser, I just chuckled and just stuffed the...

As 700R4 swaps for M1009s seem to be the trend lately, Has anyone considered a TH350 with a lockup converter? It may be a better fit for the 3.08 gearing in the 09. A TH350 in lockup will drop approx 500 RPM off the engine making it basicly a three and a half speed trans. The TH350 can be built...

Hea Dirty1, Is this in regards to your plow install?

Understood, but as eluded to by southdave, 3.73s would be a better fit RPM wise, and overdrive could actually be used with 3.73s. The 3.06 first gear is a tad low for a 4.56 axle ratio. My 1031 shifts out of "grandma" at 13 MPH, LOL. I could adjust that by fiddling with the TV cable, but as you...

Spline count aside, putting a 700R4 trans in an 09 with 3.08 gears is pointless and will burn up in short order.

I had a guy ask me why I had a Detroit Diesel emblem on my truck. My response was becuase it's a Detroit.aua

Not to get off topic, but where are Delco and Sears Diehard batteries manufactured? My friend owns an independent mom and pop auto and boat parts store, and the warehouse he deals with has nothing but imported, knock-off parts. He gets alot of returns on parts that were defective right out of...

:ditto: Yup, Have yours rebuilt by a reputable shop. You will pay a ton of money for a good new one. The cheaper ones are Chinese crap. Nothing is made here anymore, it's a sin.

I finished up installing a Monster trans super duty 700R4 in my 1031 this morning. They sent it with the stock lenght output shaft so I had a slight fitment issue with the rebuilt Northwest Fabworks NP205 I had also purchased. To save time and more aggravation, I had a TH350/NP208 adapter lying...
