I think most all your advice is "spot on" and very useful. Speaking for my-self and probably many others, your experience and opinions are well appreciated. You should disregard those negative feedbacks and "keep posting". Don't stop just because someone is having a bad hair day.

Looks like you need to build another barn just to store the spare parts. That's all that's stopping me from adding to my collection.

Ditto: Mine was the same way when I got it. Plan on spending some time adjusting the latch rods or replacing parts. Caution with the adjustment bolt on the latch, it is a left hand thread. I learned that the hard way when I snapped it off.

Fuel injection lines are no longer made for the 6.2. The old ones are known to get brittle and start leaking with age or milage. I had three lines weeping at the injector pump and decided to replace all the rest while I had it apart. It took me 4 months to find all eight NOS lines.

I use the MX6707 base with my CB and agree with OPCOM. Do not try to modify the base. I ruined a good base trying it. I just used the stock MX6707 base with the matching antenna whip and manually tuned it to its lowest setting. Then I had to trim the matching antenna by 12"-14" to get a good...

Welcome to the site Steve. Just sit back, have a few beers and read your TMs. And most of all thank you for your service.

My M1009 gets 22 hwy, 17 city and 15 pulling a M101A2 trailer with cover. I run stock 31" tires and use 2 stroke oil additive.

Congratulations, What a great idea with the MVs. I whish them the best

Welcome from Cooperstown.

I would leave it as its designed. They are good trucks and use it as you see fit. Run it for a while till you get to know its good or bad points than think about doing some mods. Make sure you do your PMs with the fluids and such and enjoy.

Welcome from Cooperstown

John, Good luck with your trip. I wish had the time I would of loved to be the chase car. Is the wife second guessing the ride? Maybe you have to sweeten the pot a little. As the same as Howard offered, if you need a hand give me a shout. Doug

Don't worry about the mods till you get her home. See how drivable the truck is and fix as needed when needed. Some of these trucks are in excellent condition from the get go and you may find just minor repairs are needed. Just do your PMs as you don't always know when the fluids have been...

Up-date. The vender I mentioned has injection lines for cylinders #s 1,2,6,8. You may be able to Google the other part #s and see what you come up with. If you only have one or two leaking you may find some used ones that are good.

Check the vender below. I bought several from him, the rest of the lines I found at a Chevy dealership. Give them the part #s, When the dealer parts man tells you they are not available have him check their national inventory at other dealerships. By the way, The injector line part #s start at...

I have no clue, you will have to check the TMs on that
