    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    As far as the tires spinning on the rims and going flat. Those are tubed tires. If you are missing a valve stem and are leaking air, you have an issue with your tube inside the tire. You do not need to remove a glad hand to put an air chuck. You can buy an air hose with a glad hand end...

    Completed 2200 mile Deuce Recovery

    You can try to file a claim for the missing tarp with GL. Just be reasonable with the value and submit links to current prices. It might work, it might not. It worked for me in the past with a missing ladder.

    Bought an M931...now what?

    If this was at Dodge, and it was listed as driven in, you can almost count on it being a driver. They also provide a jump there if you need it. When you call to set up your appointment, they will usually tell you if its a good runner or not.

    Straight stacked my M923

    I really don't like the stack. Does not look right to me on that truck. Snorkel is just kinda dumb, since it is not really doing anything for you. Like your willingness to make the truck the way you like it and not care what anyone else thinks.

    LED tail light install

    Are the fronts LEDs? If not, you will be fine to just install them without issue.

    What would you do for a Deuce

    The fear will quickly go away after you leave the plane. The only problem you might have, is another addiction to go along with the MV one. You will want to jump again and again and again.

    I can not find the TM for the m35 in my collection, but I found the 5-ton instructions, which is probably close enough.

    Steering alignment

    I do my own alignments on my truck (F250), just set about 1/8" toe in. It drives straight, and my previous set of tires lasted over 90,000 miles and still had tread, but not enough for snow and mud. Current set has around 40,000 miles with new tie rods and ball joints installed about 30,000...

    Steering alignment

    How far out is your alignment? Did it actually need to be adjusted? I would measure it myself just to see. Once you replace the tire rods, you can easily adjust your tow-in yourself with a helper. There are several ways of marking and measuring, just pick a flavor and go.

    Iowa

    Waterloo Most bigger city yards I have ever been to are rude. I think the last time I was at Ks, they were fairly friendly. Just get out the phone book and look up automotive salvage. I did that a couple summers ago while looking for a trunk lid for an oldsmobible. While I was out...

    Iowa

    There are lots of salvage yards in Iowa. There were a lot of Chevy and GMC trucks built and salvaged. What kind of parts are you looking for? Cedar Rapids has a few and top of my head I can think of Sunline and Ks Acres. As far as finding a specific yard for MVs, none that I know of.
