So I just found out yesterday that my grandpa has a great piece of green metal, a M1009. It's a parts truck for my grandpa's 83 Silverado but we need to see if the engine is any good. I have been trying for a couple hours at this point to get the engine to crank (with a 24v source of course) but...

Sorry that I haven't been on for quite a while (schoolwork...) but since some of you guys were wondering, I did not get the Deuce. Annoyingly, I got out bid surprisingly quick and obviously left empty handed. I am of course looking for the next opportunity though and I thank you all for all the...

I already know that my family's company has never touched military stuff so they are not an option. But, Hagerty quotes me for $261 a year with enough miles to be a daily driver. Thanks for the information on that part of it!

Do you mind elaborating on the other "basic info"? I'm guessing manufacturer, year, and other things but a problem is that the truck I'm going for is listed as "MFG or YR Unknown" and though a VIN is given, the data plate (which it is on of course) seems to be a reissue as no Mfr. is listed. Any...

Could you better explain that especially how in the world I would get insurance without the title yet and not even having easy access to the truck yet?

Your welcome john! You might also want to look at what welldigger is saying. I don't know which is actually right. Also, nice job getting your first Deuce! I'm trying to get my first right now.

I know that there are several threads out there about this and I have read them but I need some clarification. My understanding is that in the state of Washington, you can buy a Deuce from GL, apply for and get a SF97, and you can go to the the DMV where they will give you a title in return for...

johndeerman, please reread this thread, more specifically the posts about adjusting the brakes so that they will work properly. Those should tell you what needs to be done (besides reading the TM's). Hope you can figure your problem out :) !

Thank you Warthog for clarifying on my posting troubles! Thank you as well Jeepsinker for the handy list. I failed to mention that the trucks only runs with a jump but that is solved of course by the aforementioned bringing of 2 good batteries. I have already started looking at insurance and...

It is stated underneath the text box in the profile editor that city and state are wanted. Now back to my questions! (no harm done :) )

What I have been trying to post: @Jeepsinker: I am decently skilled in the realm of mechanics and eager to learn. I also have a grandpa who is highly knowledgeable in mechanics and has worked on just about anything you can think off. I have no access to any form of flatbed or vehicle capable of...

Sorry about the location part, it should be fixed now but I live in Vancouver, Washington. Time to try a full post again :neutral:...

As Jeepsinker has said, very nice Whistler Dipstick! I have read the forum rules and am in the first place quite respectful as well as the fact that I myself do not prefer at all to cuss. None of my attempts to post a full response have gotten through for about 18 hours now...

Problem, it seems anything more then a sentence or two is directed to a moderator for approval and nothing has gotten through for hours except for my delay post.

I am young in mechanics but could a lack of proper oil pressure have caused your engine to destroy its bearings?

Here it is I think: @Jeepsinker: I am decently skilled in the realm of mechanics and eager to learn. I also have a grandpa who is highly knowledgeable in mechanics and has worked on just about anything you can think off. I have no access to any form of flatbed or vehicle capable of towing...

Thank you for the tips and information! Here it is I think: @Jeepsinker: I am decently skilled in the realm of mechanics and eager to learn. I also have a grandpa who is highly knowledgeable in mechanics and has worked on just about anything you can think off. I have no access to any form of...

Sorry for any delay in response but the forum somehow seemed to lose my original response right after it told me that it just had to be approved before it would show. I will be getting my original response replicated as soon as I can.

Thank you to both of you for the information and tips! @Jeepsinker: I have decent mechanical knowledge though I am always eager to learn. I also have a grandpa who has worked very knowledgeably on basically everything from kitchens and cars to large trucks and giant cat dozers. I do not have...

First of all, I am a new member to this forum and also very young so please don't get mad at me and just help if I have done something wrong or happened to neglect something. To the point, I have been watching GL for a M35A2 close enough to me and I have found one that is in running and driving...
