    6.2 dies when you let off throttle

    Before you worry about a new pump try turning the idle screw up just a bit mine did the same thing when I got it. At first I figured bad fuel delivery so I went ahead and put an electric fuel pump on it ( I was going to do that anyways) then added a spin on base and fuel filter and it did the...

    Moss covered M1009 followed me home.

    I was going to bid on that truck but the inside looked like a good candidate for a hazmat crew.

    can any one tell me if i can get 5ton cab with title

    I have a data plate and title from a M52 here because I scrapped the truck so I figured I may need it some day and I wasnt going to throw out a title I paid a hundred dollars for. I know of many trucks fresh from GL where the VIN on the frame and data plates do not match.

    M1009 Gauges question.

    I think there is 24 volt that goes to the voltage gauge you will ruin a 12 volt gauge if you use one in its place.

    best way to fit doors to cab?

    The only way to get them to fit right is to bend them I used a crescent wrench and bent the sleeves the pin goes through so I didnt have to take the hinges off the cab but there is a lot of trial and error but it can be done.

    m1009 dies if you let off the gas too quickly, thoughts?

    I have the same problem with the shutting down after revving it but it starts better than most I have owned I believe it is a fuel supply problem to the IP. My truck will run without any problem with the accelerator depressed as long as I want it to so its not a clogged check valve on the return...

    Allison Transmission issue

    When mine is cold it shifts too soon for my liking so I manually shift it until it warms up and it does not like to downshift going up hills so I manually shift it there too.
