I managed to get my oil pan off without moving the transmission lines. That said, it probably would have been a lot easier had I taken them off.

Wow... I had no idea there were "hick trucks" in the Ukraine.

My M1009 came with two red-top optimas and I've never had any trouble. I've also never fully drained them, so that may have something to do with it.

zero - ouch!

I live in Minnesota. Your deputy registrar either had no idea what they were talking about or they screwed you. You can register the vehicle as 10k+ or as a regular passenger vehicle with regular plates. If you're going to pull a huge trailer then you need the 10k+ plates, otherwise regular are...

If you want to have someone "go though" your new-to-you truck, that's exactly what the PMCS section of the TM is for. I would advise downloading the TMs and conducting a full PMCS. You'll not only "go through" the truck yourself, you'll also learn a lot along the way.

Gotta love "business expenses" :D

I wouldn't worry about a wide spade on a different glowplug. When I switched from Wellmans to AC60G's the spade was wider, so I just gave the spade connectors a little trim with the bench grinder then they fit in the existing wire ends just fine. There are a few threads on here where people...

I love the affordability/availability of parts for these 6.2/6.5's. A set of new injectors for $225 is a good price.

They sell M1009 out of Ft. McCoy, WI...

I'd recommend going to the next city council meeting and voicing your opinions. Remember, THEY work for YOU... not the other way around.

Ditto.

I got all mine out without special tools and without beak-offs. Some came right out easily and others were a bit more tricky. In particular, #7 didn't want to come out so I just kept ratcheting it around and applying gentle pressure until it eventually came out.

Back to the electric fan... There was a pretty good article in Car Craft Magazine recently on junk yard electric radiator fan conversions. Electric Radiator Fans - Car Craft Magazine

(throws on lab coat) You're right, air is also a gas (under standard temperature and pressure). Wikipedia puts it well: "...a fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases...

That building looks familiar.

Oh, yeah... I'm an idiot. :cookoo: Quite embarassing considering I was deer hunting with my .50 black powder rifle out yesterday morning. I guess .50 makes me think .50BMG by default for some reason. HAH!

50 cal for deer? Are you nuts?

I used to sleep in the back of a 5-ton in my field artillery days. The condensation from four people sleeping back there is unreal. Let's see those deer!
