It is a 1/8 NPT thread. There is definitely fluid up that high up. I had to have some quick hands while laying on my back. I'm still not sure if its the best place to get a temp reading. But it sure is the easiest. Good luck!
oil pressure: I T'd off the idiot light sender by the firewall. Water Temp: I put the sender in the plug of the passenger side of the firewall. Tranny temp: Drivers side of tranny has a pressure port that the treads fit the sender. Let me know if anyone wants pics.
I had a similar problem with my M1009 when I first got it. If you don't have access to a multi-meter look at your fusible links. Check the orange wires on the passenger side firewall. I didn't have a multi-meter and was able to see they were bad by rolling the wire between my fingers. The...
Had a Navy buddy come up to NY for fleet week 2012 on the USS Wasp. I got a "real" tour of the ship, and it brought back a lot of memories. They had a great display on the flight deck. I tried to sit I the cockpit of a Cobra but I'm 6'5" and it wasn't happening. I always loved the Huey as a kid...
I sheared of a starter bolt today. It happened 30 miles from home at a gas station. I went to start the truck after fueling up and I heard a nasty grinding sound. While I was on my back trying to access the situation I discovered that my friendly (now previous) mechanic failed to re-secure the...
Once it get it on a trailer I will take some pics. dstang97, I didn't get on gl. Someone I work with also owns a scrap yard and another co-worker had told me he had one. I didn't question him too much about where he got it, but its in great shape and I got it for a steal. I'm just glad he didn't...
Thanks Barrman for your advice and experience. It looks like I'm not going to be able to take my new shelter camping anytime soon. I plan on adding an external oil and trans cooler, so hopefully I will be ok lugging the S-250 around town on short back road trips.
I recently purchased a S-250 that I plan to make into a camper/communication unit. I'm now looking for a trailer to mount my shelter on for transportation. From my research it looks like it should fit in a M101A3 trailer or something similar with modification. Now my concern is if my 86 M1009 is...
Thanks you CARNAC and Tennmogger for your wealth of knowledge. I am not opposed to using a non-US Green radio (as long is its from one of our allies). I have seen a couple PRC-320's online that have been converted with LSB. I will also check out the PRC-174 and RT-254. Since I already have a CB...
Please forgive my lack of knowledge on green radios, I was a Squid and most of my knowledge revolves around stuff thats blue and battleship grey. I am an the process of getting my HAM ticket and want to put a green radio in my '09. I would like something that covers multiple bands VHF, HF, has...
I agree Doghead, that there is most likely nothing that can be done by any SS member (senior or not). But Farscrape is a new member (like me) and doesnt know all the idiosyncrasies of this group of members. We all know that owning/repairing Militrary Vehicles is a small community of people. Im...
I feel bad for you Farscrape. The "SS Powers That Be/Brass" arent given you any help on this one. LOL. I am currently in the same boat. Ive been waiting for an order for a long time. Ive ordered from them in the past and never really had any issues. Did you pay with paypal? If so try to contact...
Update. So while looking at a friends M1009 today I noticed a piece on his lower heater duct assembly that I do not have on my vehicle. This could be the solution to my problem, and so the hunt begins. I pointed the piece out in the picture. Note....The picture is from google and just shows the...
