Well, I am sure I will here some junk about using fiberglass, bondo or other cracks about my restoration methods. I am going to start a post to keep up with the restoration of my M109. When I got her she has seen better days. This truck will never get sold. I will drive it and keep it in the...

Pump has been ordered and I have read the TM 9-2320-209-20-3-1 Chapter 6 and Table 6-1. I know it says to fill to one inch from top of filler cap but exactly how much coolant do I need to bring? I am guessing 5 gallons? I have not found the actual amount of coolant that this engine requires...

I will keep you posted Glen, it is starting to rain today so I may be a couple of days before I attempt to tackle this. I suspect I could get some size lefthanded threaded screw and give it a try. So many people know so much more about these vehicles than I, I just thought I would ask. I...

I have recovered an M105A2. I pulled it out today in the beautiful weather we had here in Alabama. I downloaded and read the TM for this trailer this week. I want to get it ready prior to getting it on the road. I started the inspection process and found that the bottom air bleed valve has...
