Ok you are right. Thats just such a common wird, i didnt really recognize it. Wont happen again. I hope the stuff is stock at all places i havent seen yet - few small things to eliminate electrically but nothing big (a lousy wired horn with seperate switch but that should be most of it). Im...

Thanks for your answer! Actually i just heard some guys saying that sometimes the card turns on the plugs while the engine runs and there is no need to glow, they overheat and swell (yes swelling was the word i was looking for) Im a friend of the original thing and im happy that it is not...

Hey folks, as im gonna get my 1008 this friday im already planning first mods beside the cosmetic stuff i want to do. What i heard most time talking to guys knowing these trucks was "convert it to manual glowing before it takes a shit and melts a plug in the head". I actually like the normal...

Well it finally happened :) I had to look at a few or have them looked at by friends to find many "In very very good shape, just minor rust and maybe a little wet transfercase" to be in a more like "see through the floor - dripping transmissionoil all over" condition. Found one matching my...

So for now i could not convince my girlfriend AND me to sell the RAM i put so much time and work in. I would really like to own a cucv too but i have only the place and money to own one of them so, sad but true i wont have one in few weeks. but the dream hasn't died yet! Gonna get one, already...

Youre right. But all my parts for the RAM had to come from the states. rockauto.com / lmctruck.com are youre friends and they ship fast :) im gonna PM you later!

What do you have in mind that could be so hard to find? Aren't most parts of an 84 k30 the direct bolt on? i also have some options. harley for the warmer days and a few other cars in thr family i could use. my ram also had a few weeks in the garage when bigger stuff was on to do such as...

Thx all! Do you daily drive it or do you own a all day driver next to it?

Yes they are. Few of them (commercial seller in Peterslahr, very well known in germany) are completely rebuilt from what they get from the us army. BUT the are all above 20k€. I dont mind where i go to pick it up in the future. my RAMs PO also lived near the border to NL so why not. Its...

Saw a few m1009 on a us-car meet in Frankfurt (Main) and my neighbor had a m1008 a few years ago. now hes doing a k20 conversion to a colt seavers showtruck :)

THX! Sounds good!

Thats good news. Leaking engines suck. I dont need a lifted one - they are just high enough stock. Only think i would like to add if i find a suitable offer: maybe new wheels with a/t tires on it and a cb radio...

Hey Guys! After introducing my german ass over in the members-board i want to collect a bit of knowledge while starting my search for a m1008. At the moment my daily driver is a RAM 2001 5.9 Magnum. I like it but i got it for almost 3 1/2 years now and now im craving for a new experience...

THX @ ALL Happy to see there are some guys from germany over here :) Im already in the process of watching the market. Gonna start another thread now to get some more knowledge.
