Thanks Crash_AF, I sent you a PM. Let me know if you don't get it. Hopefully we can work something out.

Turns out i couldn't convince a shipping company to take the truck at a reasonable price so Im flying out to Reno this thursday evening to get to work on trying to start the truck and drive it back to boulder. If anyone is in the Reno area and wanting to lend a hand if I get stuck pm me and I...

Thank you goodguyzy. I currently have a flatbed coming to extract but if something falls through or I need eyes on the ground i'll contact you.

Thanks! Thats great info and I appreciate the help. I booked Nevada Towing Inc to extract it before I read this but ill keep them in mind if all else fails. THey are bringing it to Reno and it will get shipped from there. I think I have all my paperwork covered so fingers crossed.

Thanks for the info ill be sure to double check everything. Unfortunately thats not the news I was hoping for. I called and talked to the sight manager Josh and he told me to schedule a pick up time with him and they would let a driver in with a flatbed if he has a Twic, military ID or 48hrs...

Hey All, I'm looking for a little help or advice. I won the m1009 from the Sierra Army Depot in Herlong, CA which is apparently a challenging place to recover and ship from. Apparently the thing can only be removed on a flatbed and has to be loaded by the site. I've gotten some pretty...

Sorry if you already posted this but what paint brand and pain codes did you use? The sherwin williams ones? The truck looks fantastic BTW. Well done.

I was recent the highest bidder on the m1009 in Herlong, CA. It needs to be recovered with a flatbed from the base on a Tuesday - Thursday in the 2nd-4th week of March. I have not chosen a date yet as I am trying to find shipping options first. If anyone has a truck going through this route...

Installed electric tailgate. 86 m1009 I wired and installed an electric tailgate using a 3 position 25amp switch in the the switch space where the blackout light switch used to be so the power window can be operated from the back or in the cab. I run it from a relay system I installed using...

So I reluctantly bought and installed a Made in China starter which is working so far. Also made the doghead starter mod and checked the flywheel / flexplate. All that I have noticed is some wear on the flexplate in the teeth at about a 45 degree angle. No cracks that I can see. I went...

Thanks muddobber40, that would make sense and could likely contribute to both issues. I will check and post after.

I have not. Is there a visual in the TM. I am not familiar with the flex plates but will google.

I am somewhat new to the site and I must start off by thanking everyone for their help and input. Since getting my m1009 I have been able to do almost all of the maintenance and repairs with little prior mechanical knowledge and a great deal of help from my brother (hollowman) and the advice...
