I have been reading several topics on here associated with white smoke and hard starting. It appears I may have an issue with my fuel pressure switch. I'm going to start by replacing it and see what happens. Last night I killed a new battery trying to start the truck in 55 degree weather.
Alot of you guys say that your truck does it a "little". I would describe mine as alot. It will blow the smoke around a min or so and then it goes away eventually. I'm fairly new to this engine so I'm starting to read up on it and learn more about it.
Hey guys, just bought a 1009 and when it's cold the 6.2 will blow alot of white smoke when first cranked but after it warms up it goes away. Is this a sign of injector failure? Thanks for any feedback!
I'm looking to upgrade axles on my M1009 to dana 60's out of a M1008. Just wondering how driving around town and on the interstate is with the 4:56 gears. I want the beefier axles but I still want to be able to run it 60-70mph if I want. Would like to hear from you guys that either have done...

I have been keeping an eye on a M1008 that is in non running shape and is missing a door that would basically be a parts truck. The 6.2 in it has 26,000 miles but the truck is in bad shape. I'm hoping to score it for under $400 and then a decent M1009 for under $1500. A buddy of mine bought a...
Hey Guys, I'm a newb to posting but have been doing alot of reading the past few days. I am looking for a project to spend a little time on and what I'm currently thinking is to pick up either a M1028 or a M1008 and a M1009 at govliq. My plans are to swap the axles in the M1009 from the 6 lug...
