I do like the Vietnam colors! They are killer, imagine that thing cruising down the road and as it passes you notice the quad 50's in the back....that would have been a sight!
Michigan huh, looks like we have quite a few folks up here that share our same intrests. A quick search on Craigslist...
So true...I just came across a killer company in Monroe Michigan that sells a replacement kit that looks more like a standard alternator....vice the generator.
Look up Wolverine Technologies LLC, it seems like a sweet set up and to boot they are close to my house!
I dropped the generator off...
dude, make sure you get one of the guys to go look at it in person before you make a trip to see it with cash...unless you like surprises and going on a trip for other reasons...
already 2 days into my first purchase I wish I had looked the truck over a little more....no regrets but it is...
So, on the M54A2, will a suction hand pump at each bleeder valve get all the air out of my lines and harden up my brake pedal? (barring any other unforseen problems)
I have the DOT 5, Hand Pump and the 7/16'' wrench standing by....but I think I might have to have the air pressure up and do...
Well,
I am back under the hood on day 2 of ownership and it is nice to say that there was a wrench in my hand and it was really easy to remove the alternator.
The previous owner had disconnected the alternator and left the wire dangling. So I dug into it today. 5 minutes into it and the...

Well, Glad you guys like the pics. I do like taking them!
The truck was towed 30 miles to my house and the guy that I bought it from just had the truck in neutral.
I plan on keeping it stock for a while. I think I may get some add ons for it to make it more efficient like spin on filters...
Well,
The journey has begun. Today I got my new M54A2 W/W delivered to my house. I decided to get it towed because I have never driven a truck this big and it is not insured or registered. It runs great and fires right up. I have noticed a few things that I need to address very soon.
The...
Well, the truck seems to be a good deal. Thanks Steel Soldiers!
The list is growing all too fast now and I haven't even bought the truck.
Bigger tires
Modified seats for driver and passenger
"Nickname for the truck"
Ear plugs for wearing when driving....

Thanks for the reply
I need your help in getting some information on a truck that I looked at today. I am very new to the MV market and I don't want my first purchase to be a bad one because I didn't know what I was getting into.
So, here goes. I took a test ride in the truck today and I am definetely interested...
Well today I got a call back from the seller who turns out to be a seized property holding company that is completely clueless about the truck. The call went like this...
Me: So, this truck is stuck in low gear huh?
Broker: Well, we have a so called mechanic that does a once over and reports...
