Hey folks, made some kick ass progress on this thing yesterday. It's almost ready to get back off-road. For a truck that I purchased with so many question marks, I'm really pleased with how is coming together. Thank you everyone! New air filter Began the coolant flush and fixed the class 3 (is...

Ran today! Turns out the starter and glow plugs are all 12 volts, and the engine runs great. I had gotten confused by the grounding buss, leading me to believe this was 24 volts. Felt pretty silly after I realized. May have a leaking freezeplug, still needs brakes, oil change, etc. However...

I was more confused by the fact that the Emissions sticker mentioned spark gap, I would agree it is not the stock core support. Thank you for the heads up on the breather cap. Plans is a good question. I set out to purchase a K5 because I really like them, this one popped up on Facebook...

Oh boy, mine is different. The batteries are behind the headlights. Is that indicative of a 12 volt truck, or is that just wrong? The big tell will be if it has two alternators.

Just bought an M1009 (I think?) for $450. If it was an M1009 someone has taken the 8 lug axles for a different project, it now has 6 lug axles. I would like to verify that it is a 24v starter and alternator then see if it starts with new batteries this weekend. My only concern is making sure I...
