    Hard to start

    I agree. And add that there does seem to be a high idle startup like the old carbed auto"s. Step on throttle to set high idle. Then crank it up, after awhile it settles down to normal idle.

    Charging system help????

You should show after startup around 14 volts at gen1 D side And 24 to 28 at gen2 P side. I am not sure the Alts are interchangable. I think there is...

    I don't think my M1009 likes hills

    Well; if you have the time and money throw a turbo charger on it. Or transplant a 6.5 turbo diesel into it. either way your problem will be gone. I remember way back when i lived in Denver. I wanted to go to the mountians. I had a 60's model Dodge van with a slant six in it. Made it to the foot...

    Compression coming back thru intake

    A compression test will do what you have done, locate a bad cylinder or cylinders. But does not do a very good job a diagnosing the problem. A leak down test on the bad cylinder will show you the problem. My 2 Cents = Do a leak down test on the problem cylinder...

    Used a tow dolly. Towed one with one from TX to Eastern TN. No trouble with the weight as long as there are no steep grades. (Had one hard pull over by chattanooga overheated going up and ran out of brakes going down the otherside). Stability can be a problem with the short wheelbase. If you...

    M-1009 transmission woe's

    Yes i know i need to change the vacume lines. But that should cause different problems. But the truck drives and shiftes fine while it is working. I remember sometimes if a modulator valve goes bad it can send trans fluid to the motor via the vacume line. Interesting about the transfercase...
