I wanted to get some under chassis shot and talk to the driver. By the time I made it back he was gone. They were very clean on the bottom side, I was impressed. I am sure that bus was a heck of a chore!

I was out cruising today and saw a trailer with these two M1009s on it. They appear to be very straight and solid. The one has peeling paint. I was trying to grab photos when work called.... work.... why can't a guy play for a few minutes at optimal times? On an unrelated and possibly a...

My M1008 and M1009 both started right up at 14 below. I was kind of worried as we were 370 miles from home and I did not want two dead horses at my mother in law's. 8)

I too have plenty of storage space available, just a long commute. Glen

I have one close to you in Salt Lake City... actually West Jordan. I love my M1008, I had a M1008 first, then bought another, then the first M1009.... I am thinking I did it backwards. That M1009 is a nice machine to own. Congrats on your M1008, I hope yours treats you as well as my two treated...

My apologies, it is Howell Engine Development, it has been a few years. Howell Engine Developments Inc. - Home Glen

Howell Industries rebuilt a cross fire injection wiring harness for me. They made it a stand alone with the Corvette computer. I put it in a 1977 2wd Blazer and used it to pull my bass boat all over the central US, it was a wonderful thing. They were doing all sorts of wiring harness rebuilds...

I stay off of the Interstate, drive the regular blacktops and old highways. The speed limit for most of those is 55. Some are 60 or 65, if traffic starts gathering behind me, I will pull off or run 55. Since buying my M1009, the M1008 does not make many trips. You would be surprised at what you...

Good looking truck! I really like mine, should have bought the M1009 before I ever bought a pickup. Glen

I just checked the two in the driveway. My M1008 has both gen light, oil, water in fuel, wait and seatbelt. My M1009 does the same except no oil light, I am guessing that one must be out. Glen

Mine did that on the way home from the Lake of the Ozarks. I noticed it at the Lawrence toll booth and did not stop to check. Then at the Topeka toll booth, it was worse. I just headed on home. 120 miles later, I exited at MP 253 and it puked at the stop sign, gen light came on. The left...

I try to stay under 50 but I get impatient and run 55 occasionally. We ran it 65 for 450 miles. And when we got there it was dripping oil. We were between snow storms and had an appointment to pick up the M1009. I ran off without my paperwork and had to. Make a trip back home for it. That error...

I will share with you guys where I learned about the 6.2 diesel engines. I used to rebuild a lot of Toyota Land Cruisers. They would commonly have burned exhaust valves. I would buy the Cruiser, put stainless steel seats in the heads and then run a race quality Chevrolet exhaust valve. The guys...

The civilian 6.2 was governed at 3600. It was designed in the early 80's as a light duty diesel to replace the sorry Oldsmobile 350 gasoline engine that GM had previously converted to diesel. The engine was not designed to be a powerhouse, they were looking for a fuel mileage altenative to...

I just went dowtown and ordered mine from the auto parts store. When you get it, make sure it has that large counterweight spot welded in... The 6.2 is externally balanced and will self destruct without it. Glen

We found some more rough road, thankfully I had the hubs locked in. As we were rolling east, I noticed a row of grey columns appearing out of the haze. We had rolled into the Smoky Hills Wind Farm Project! I had never run onto them from the northwest before and definitely never in a foggy/hazy...

From Wilson we went north and then headed back east through the back roads. I found some killer roads! On one hill, the M1009 would not climb any farther, it was spinning away and eventually lost ground. I had to get out and lock in the hubs. The boys had to play... It was a neat hill, a pretty...

We motored west to Ellsworth, which I already posted, then on to the Wilson Kansas area. I had not been to Wilson for some time. I found a couple of telephone booths! Since the cell phone, finding an outside phone is rare, we have no phone booths in Salina.... at least not for public use. I...

Thanks Man!!! We visited Fort Harker, it is another hidden sweetheart. When you take the tour, they tell you Chief Santanta escaped out the back of the guardhouse. He dropped from the second story to the ground and fled during the night. Some of the officer's quarters also still exist. One...

Farris or Faris??? I always thought they were the Farris Caves, but I see them listed the other way as well. A hand dug cave, in the face of a rock wall, two rooms are connected and a third is off to the north. The hand pick marks are pretty obvious. In drought, the floors are pretty much dry...
