i love my M1009 but living in Colorado presents some problems. At high altitude and pulling a trailer the HP goes way down and copious black smoke is produced. You would think the military has encountered this and dealt with it?? Is there a military turbo charger to solve this problem? I have checked Banks and they do not make or sell their aftermarket kit anymore. If anyone has pictures of a kit in place and helfpull information I would greatly appreciate it.

You can buy Banks turbo kits for the 6.2L from a dealer on eBay. Cost is around $2800
Remember that these trucks ate 25+ years old. Companies are cutting back on making parts for them and working on newer vehicles. Even everyday parts the parts stores will have to get them from the warehouse. Not enough room on the shelfs.
There is no "military" turbo for the CUCV that I know of.

The HMMWV engine is nearly identical and has the turbo. You have to move a few things around but lots of folks have done it.
GM did offer the Banks turbo as an dealer/factory installed option on the 6.2Ls before they came out with the 6.5L turbos.

Have you called banks direct? If I was to do it again I would look for a used 6.5 turbo. A hmmwv turbo is way to much work to get it to fit.

My 1028 has a 6.5 TD out of a HMMWV. Do a little minor cutting on the firewall to clear the rear/center mounted turbo and it fits fine.
