    m1009 govdeals recovery

    Last week I bid on and won a 1984 m1009 from govdeals. It belonged to a sheriff's office in North Carolina that had owned it since 1995. I drove the 175 mile trip there, and it fired right up with a jump start. I drove it all the way back with no issues. It will need all new rockers and floor...

    What are the chances it'll run?

    this is Based off my previous thread about the m1009 I just won out of Warner Robbins, GA, which is missing the air filter and cover, cdr valve and crankcase vent tube, and tailgate. What are the chances that the motor is shot? Both alternators and batteries are there. The injection pump...

    M1028 with 14k miles

    I'm getting ready to bid on a decent looking m1028 that has 14, 000 miles on it. Are low miles like this a bad thing? Sorry for the question, but my only experience has been with the M1009's that usually have quite a bit more mileage than the trucks.

    Anyone need a 6.2 engine or two?

    This maybe posted in the wrong spot, but last month I won (2) 6.2 engines in shipping containers from Redstone Armory in Alabama. My EUC has cleared and I can go pick them up at anytime, the problem is I don't have time to go get them. I paid $350 for the pair of them, so if anyone is...

    My M1009

    I figured I'd share my updated pics of my newly painted 1009. I painted it myself in a friends driveway, first time ever painted a vehicle. Turned out better than I thought it would. (the pics aren't the greatest, the green shows shadowed on the a couple pics, looks much better in person!)

    Rear axle getting ready to go...

    I've been experiencing a loud banging noise going to down road at certain speeds. I've also noticed that when I shift the blazer into neutral the noise gets worse. I changed the ujoints and that didn't help. We've traced the noise and it seems to be coming from the rear end. Its a very loud...

    When I go into to NAPA in the morning to buy new 2 new ujoints for the rear driveshaft, and a new rear pinion bearing, do I need to get 1/2 ton parts or 3/4 ton parts for the M1009?

    rear driveshaft/ ujoint question

    I'm trying to track down the loud noise coming from the rear of my truck. At certain speeds I can hear a continous loud metal on metal knocking noise.

    leaky filter base

    I'm thinking that my fuel filter base is leaking, so I'm going to order one from oem surplus. I think I read on here that I need to also buy a fuel pressure switch? Where would I get one of these at? anything else I need to pick up?

    One more hard starting question

    I swear one day I'll get this all sorted out. If my 1009 sits overnight it takes a little effort to start it first thing in the morning. It turns over and after about 3-4 tries it will fire up, and blow white/grey smoke out the tail pipes. Now, I'll drive to work, let it sit there for 12...
