    Reduce wear during a recovery?

    The GL lot at Redstone does not have a loading dock or loading ramps. All trucks are unloaded with a large forklift. This is the reason that most of the truck which come thru Redston has a little damage to the right front fender closr to the exhaust pipe. So unless your semi driver has ramps...

    Newbie scared to pull the trigger

    Jake, Here is my 2 cents worth. I personally would not want to drive my M1009 on a 144 mile roundtrip commute every day. The reasons being: the M1009 will be loud so you will have to wear earplugs or you will be deaf. The M1009 does not have any real comforts for the daily grind. Also you...

    What did everyone get from Redstone today?

    There is more truth to your statement than you realize. I went to Redstone on Monday March 16th to look over the trucks and noticed a few things: #1 - About half of the trucks in auction 4107 were not even on the Redstone lot. The Redstone lot is a paved, not the grass or dirt lot that most...

    Paint/Body work

    Yes you can paint over the top of your old carc. I always scrape the loose paint and pressure wash to clean off the chalkie old paint.

    Paint/Body work

    Unless the paint on the existing M1008 is new or almost new you will never be able to match the existing paint. The paint used on M1008 & M1009s fade a great deal. Suggestions would be to make the repairs and get the truck in the running order that you want and do a total repaint when you are...

    Keys

    Guys, Since all the M1009s came with the same keys, i was concerned about someone (who knows M1009s) using their key to take my blazer. I decided I wanted to have a bit more security so I pulled my door lock thumblers and took them to the locksmith who rekeyed the door locks for $16. Now I...

    2 Star General, One of the best CUCV guys in your area is "Dan1" who post on here on a regular basis. Look him up on here and send him a PM. I have bought several M1009 parts from him over the last couple of years and have found him to be very honest in his descriptions of the parts and...

    Ramsey Winch

    RE: dmx200 The gentleman is correct, it is a Ramsey winch in the 2XX series. I have one of those winches in the barn. What you are really looking for is the Ramsey Model 50 or 50R Ramsey winch.

    m1008 fuel pump issue

    Re: M1008 fuel pump Ernie is absolutely correct about the pump push rod. When I changed my M1009 fuel pump I forgot about the push rod. I installed a new fuel pump and nothing. Pulled the fuel pump and bench tested it. It worked great. Hmmmmm. When I was standing there with a puzzeled look on...
