Maybe it's an '83 - but it's definitely 1009. @Fitz - thanks for the note I will check out what he's done. Definitely some holes - the front floors were bad before I parked it, but they definitely got worse.

Hello, it's been a while since I've posted. I hope this isn't a stupid post...but I have an issue and I'd just like some other opinions on the matter if possible I don't know that many people would understand this issue so if this isn't the right place I don't know where is... I have a 1982...

So...nothing for an M1009 to do in the SE Michigan on Memorial Day? !(

I'm not seeing any other threads on the Grayling event - am I missing something or this it? Thank you!

Dear maritimer, perhaps my M1009 is as tired as I feel at 8am...but it seems it is all she can do to go uphill in the snow/ice as-is...don't get me wrong, I love her to death, she's pushing 89...k-miles that is!) Since she doesn't seem to want to move much in 5" of lower MI muck...I'm concerned...

Well - Recovry4x4 you are just the person I seem to be looking for!) that's my quandry? would the weight of a deuce mean it can go over the snow and move 3-4' of it without hesitation? Or would the weight simply mean I can have fun for a few minutes and then come back and retrieve it in the...

Hi guys, Been awhile, I hope you've all been doing great and had a wonderful Christmas!) I've been trying to find a day off work and time to restore my latest 1009. Here's my latest problem...I've got a place up north waaaay off the main road, like 3' of fresh snow on the ground (until the rain...

RE: I Do you guys mean maybe I destroyed the injection pump? I still haven't quite figured out why this guy chose to remove the mechanical pump and install an electric pump... I've noticed that flood of supposed low-mile engines on ebay - I was thinking of taking a ride over to WI and picking...

RE: I I think it was a Mike or a Rick - it came from Ypsilanti, MI. Figures - super straight body like my other one didn't have - and significant rust that my other one didn't have...6 in one...

So, I really loved my other cucv and I have NO clue what got into me that made me sell it. I know it all happened really fast - and that I've regretted selling it since that fateful day back in April or so. That was a good truck - I put almost 40k miles on it in 5 months - no troubles...which...

I'm so glad you guys posted these pictures! It allowed me to pick out the one I want - the M108 - nice...what a face!) Were there ever any multifuel wreckers made? Are these things just beastly to maintain and get parts for? Obviously...I'm in the 'want one' group...

Thanks for breaking ground!) Where are you planning on putting the speakers?

RE: Re: RE: FUEL GELLING IN THE COLD?? Been meaning to thank you all for the advice on testing the glowplugs - I have always hated electricity - bodywork is my forte. I reluctantly put on ten layers and and braved the blizzard to change the fuel filter, got out the meter and managed to figure...

You know - I am mostly still suspicious of the fuel...see I left Saturday morning, and the weather was cold - and she started w/no problems...then I drove it til she was low on gas and filled up at the Meijers station in Plainwell (W-MI) and it hasn't been right since. I've heard that other...

RE: FUEL GELLING IN THE COLD?? Okay...well she hasn't started since I made it home!( I'm going to check the glowplugs tonight, maybe get new batteries since whatever pathetic life they had left I'm sure I've burned up over the past few days... Has anyone got the magnetic block heater (300W...

Thanks for all the good advice! I think that I'm going to be ordering not just the freeze plug heater...but a dipstick heater, a magnetic fuel tank heater...and I'm thinking of permanently affixing a battery charger in that spacious engine compartment! ha ha. Of course, by the time it all gets...

Hi Chuck, looks like I'll be back out here in a few weeks or less to pick up the trailer - if you need anything else brought back from these parts let me know!) You know, I've never had a bit of trouble starting her before and I do go throttle down in the cold - much to the chagrin of my...

You know, I've been looking for the past few weeks for a good block heater. I'd like to find the kind that circulates the coolant - but most of them just seem to sit there in the freeze plug... It was probably about zero or less last night, it's about 4F now... Any suggestions on where to find...

Okay - I'm back, thankfully with good news!!! It is really really cold out there...and snowing again - oh wait that's the bad news!) The good news is that the 110k BTU kerosene heater in the engine compartment + the tarp + a car hooked to one battery + a battery charger hooked to the other +...

Okay...serious mess here...T-minus fifteen hours to be at work...came out here to Fennville yesterday from Ann Arbor - truck ran fine, filled up at Meijers didn't use an additive. Woke up today to leave and no deal. The truck will crank but no start. About six hours ago when the fun started I...
