Depends what you can get an engine for? I get used running 250s for under a grand around here, maybe it's worth it to you but what's your end game? Toy or $$? If it's a toy then put something else in it like a 6CTA (I've always wanted to see what that would be like in an M809 truck) but if it's...
I've had 50+ trucks of all the variants and I agree "there's no replacement for displacement"..unless you're trying to make that 250 climb a hill, tow a load, at highway speed, at high altitude, etc.. pick two and it's a turd. Now the 400 is a monster but that's not a fair comparison. Yes, the...
That's a rare setup and neat that it all works but putting it into recovery service will be a stretch if it has any on-road driving to do. Yes the over width is an issue but as is the low top speed of 43 mph, couple this with low MPG (TM shows 300-350 miles per 2 tanks of 83 gallons each for a...
Sounds like a solenoid was stuck in the replacement box. 939 series boxes work with the M809 trucks but not vice versa but that doesn't seem to be the issue here. At the moment there is no permanent workaround besides replacing the relays, the box, or jumping the truck manually at this time...

Got this M813A1 running today with surprisingly little to no trouble. Bang out a few dents, temp sender replacement, and fuel shut off solenoid to be done but otherwise she is a happy truck..the engine has to be turned up as she is a speed demon! I forgot how much fun the M809 trucks are...
I'm parting this M813 if I can't get it running, if that's the case you are welcome to the filter housing for the price of shipping...also a bonus if you like the color yellow! :mrgreen:
Prices range from $4750-22500 pending condition and how the stars align. Running units in fair shape fetch around $9K before fees. Prepare to replace a lot of hoses and do some trouble shooting, don't expect any tools/accessories to be on board but you never know! You can easily slip $10k into a...
