Here I sit on Thurs night about 3 miles from the main gate at Ft Mead. My internet at home went KABLOOIE! on Sun night and I have been virtually without internet since then. I got confirmation from Sarah for a 10:30 AM pickup on Fri the 19th (tomorrow morning as I write this).I got the...

Yeah Sarah emailed me back and I'm a go for 10:30 AM Fri! I asked her about which entrance I should use and she asked me what I would be driving. I replied and am awaiting a reply from her. And, of course, my internet took a dump last night and I now have to grab the laptop and go mobile to read...

I'm leaning towards the Reece Street entrance, since that would put me on Ernie Pyle St. I live just miles away from Ernie Pyle's boyhood home. He and Walt Disney were my boyhood heros. In fact I take comfort in the fact that we all three of us live about the same distance south of US 36. They...

Yeah I'm planning on starting a club for us procrastinators. But I keep putting it off! :D Once I actually start something, I find it usually is easier than I have been dreading!

John, did you also enter thru the gate on Reece Rd? And when you said that my truck wouldn't turn over, was that because the batts were dead or do I have a bigger problem? Did you notice the condition of the tires? I am planning on flat towing it home. I wondered how many spares to bring. :)

Warwick essentially reposted my thread and even I'm posting in it! :lol: Oh well, at least this thread has some useful info about which gate to use!

Holy Cow! That left a mark! :D

Re: RE: Re: I will be at Ft Meade Sept 19 Hopefully I will be using the long awaited Paid-In-Full Invoice! :D If not, it's gonna be a long drive for nothing!

I HOPE that I don't need a preview. I also plan on being at Ft Mead on the 19th. I posted earlier. :D

Great. I wrote Sarah an email and hopefully I will be there Fri sometime. Hopefully in the AM as I'd like to make it either home or at least close the same day. Thanks for the info.

If I understand correctly, you entered on Reece Rd? Then proceeded to Ernie Pyle and then down to Rock Ave? And I am really glad to get Sarah's email. I will send a message tonight (even tho I know she won't get it till Monday morning!) :wink:

I hope she still has openings on Fri. I think she is the one who helped John (jcappeljr) preview my 1008 the other day.

I recieved the coveted Paid-In-Full Invoice Friday and immediately called GL at Ft Mead to try to arrange a pickup for Fri the 19th of Sept. Of course all I got was a recording and got to leave a message. Noone returned my call, so I have no idea if I can pickup next Fri. Since this is a 600...

Update: There I was all forlorn waiting impatiently by my 'puter when here comes an email from GL. "Below please find a link to your Paid-In-Full Invoice." ROADTRIP is ON! :D

Then this almost has to be a bad solenoid IMHO. The solenoid is supposed to pass on the electrical power and STOP that power.

If you do try to energize the glow plugs out of the engine, realize that they can be easily burnt out. One truck I bought had a new set of shiny glow plugs installed by the PO. I tested the circuit, knowing that the glowplugs had just been installed. After trying everything else, I came back to...

Isn't teledyne continental? Anyway, does the starter still run with the cable off? If so, then it almost has to be catching on the flywheel teeth. You could check by hooking jumper cables up as your power lead and quickly removing the power upon startup. If there is no electrical power then the...

So you can make your own CUCV dually out of a 1008? I'll hafta think about that! 8)

I guess I'd better be watching the weather reports! I am planning on flat towing my 1008 out of Ft Mead also. Of course it may be snowing before they get me the paperwork! :D Glad you made it home safely. Enjoy your 1009!

Did anybody follow up on this?
