That's my plan B if I cannot find a 24 Volt starter today.

Need CUCV starter in SF Bay area I am stranded in Oakland with a burned up M1009 starter. Please call 603 four three 8 30 two 0 if you have a starter for sale.

Thanks for the info. I will pick up my first M1009 in SFO on Saturday as well. Depending on how it runs we will do some light trails in Utah on the way back to Montana. Should be spectacular this time of the year. Have fun going in the opposite direction. If you start far enough South, take...

Welcome from Bozeman, MT. I am going to pick up my first own MV, a M1009, next week. Through helping a friend retrieving several 5 ton trucks and buying, fixing, and selling mil generators I have some knowledge in these areas. Where are you in MT?

Nice looking truck.Do you know where the PO got the soft top from?

MODS: Wouldn't it be useful to make a sticky of vendors offering these services in various locations.

My comment about flippers adding no value was not aimed at businesses like yours. You retrieve the trucks, perform maintenance, and do other things that add value and should be paid for. I was thinking about the folks who buy stuff on GL or GP and list the item in the same condition on fleabay...

What we should avoid is throwing money at middle-men, brokers, flippers, etc. who do not add value to the deal in any form. Those people just drive up the market for buyers. Even if you thinks that's great when you are a seller, remember that you were and most like will again be a buyer.

I hear you. However, I currently do not have the space for another vehicle. I am going to treat bare spots on the frame and underbody with a suitable epoxy primer and CARC (or substitute) as soon as I get the truck home. Before the snow falls, the entire underside and wheel wells will be sprayed...

Yes, it is also very close to the color of the dirt roads here so I do not have to wash it that often. Turbo is supposed to get better mileage - according to Banks. Thanks for the suggestions. I was going to import a Mercedes Wolf from Germany but my retired (!) brother there is just too...

Thanks. I did not know about them but they seem to have most parts I would need. Better than dealing with the local GM Stealership.

M1009 Driveline: The PO changed the rear axle to a 14 bolt 10.5" dia FF 8-lug axle with 4.10 ratio and a matching 10 bolt 8-lug front. The springs were changed to 4" lift springs (no blocks) and the truck rolls on 16x8 alloy rims. I am planning to mount 315/75R16 BFG KO2 tires and with those...

M1009 Engine: The PO included a turbo kit to fit the 6.2L. I am torn between mounting the turbo kit on the existing engine (and waiting till it blows) or building a new engine from a running takeout that was manufactured in the 90s. A lot of parts were improved over the years and I would also...

M1009 Interior and trim: Some of the weatherstripping is shot from the sun. Who carries replacements? The front seats are also cracked and peeled from the UV. How well are the OD canvas covers fitting? (Does anyone have photos of them installed?) An alternative would be to buy the more costly...

M1009 Body: The truck came from a depot in Arizona, then lived in SFO, and never saw salt. Therefore, the body is in great shape. No rust holes other than the infamous tailgate "vent" at the bottom. What is the best way to fix the tailgate? New gate (who has one for sale?), reskin the existing...

Last weekend, I acquired my first MV, a M1009 from a guy in Oakland, CA After helping a friend retrieve two M939 series trucks from GL and driving them home for a couple hundred miles I decided that I would need something more daily-commute friendly. I am going to break up the related...

Sounds interesting. What is the approximate date (month) for this? A focus on troubleshooting the electronics would be nice. That's one of the things that seems to make this MV different from what people already know.
