I'd like to find a launch or a SRB, not often seen for sale.

If you're working on the electrical system, disconnect the batteries (and the Solargizer, as I recently found out). It will save you countless headaches and probably some $$$ in the long run.

Something that may assist in your efforts would be to get the specifics covering RV's in your state. Rear engine diesel motorhomes will usually be of similar size and weight and also have air brakes. They are exempt from CDL requirements in all states as far as I know. It could be (HA!) as...

Here's some more pics at the factory in Oshkosh, WI at the EAA Airshow. More trucks than you could count in a day. They were parked everywhere.

Man, I haven't thought about those caps since "A" school and million years ago! First time was always special, you knew who to toss a second one to!

I don't think it was caps releasing their charge. Being a curious type, I had to touch it again just to be sure...:shock: Yep, it still had some zoot to it. I didn't try it again after that. Just kind of made me think about it, what if I was troubleshooting that circuit? It would have had...

I've had my M1009 about 2 weeks now and I'm still sorting it out. Did the Doghead starter mod and replaced the glow plugs, which I think came original from the General. The GP relay was really dirty and worked intermittently so out it comes for the Napa ST85. As I'm hooking it back up, I get a...

rickf is right, doesn't take much to keep an honest guy honest, but a true liar will always think he can outsmart you and get away with it. Too bad it's like that, but you can't do much about it. By the way, what year is your M1009? Mine is an '86 and has a six digit odometer, which would show...

From many years in the old car/truck world and other instances where similar issues have arisen, it appears that generally "as manufactured" is the rule. This goes for turn signals, center brake lights, reverse lights, ect. as well as belts. Install them is you wish, but they don't take the...

I just bought a M1009 from GL and paid the $60.00 for the SF97. When it came (about 5 weeks) I had an AZ title in my name instead of the SF97! Nice surprise, took it to the DMV and was done with no confusion. Maybe a very polite, help me please, type of call to GL would work. Can't hurt to try...

Converting the brakes sounds a lot harder than the girlfriend getting a CDL. The ABS units, in my humble opinion, are a must on the M939 series trucks. Without it, during a panic stop the converters tend to stay locked which will stall the engine equaling no steering. Lots of folks paid the...

A lot of times, it was a matter of scale. A few trucks to the Army are spares, to the Coast Guard, it's a motor pool. Sometimes there are only a few "issued" due to need. I was on an emergency communications team on my last assignment and I tried to order a horse ...didn't work out well...

Gulfway is great. Very reasonable prices and easy to deal with. I second/third/fourth the recommendation.:driver: You guys that have your trucks insured as daily drivers with only liability might want to see what full coverage cost USAA quoted me a difference of $4.00 per month. That's worth...

I clicked on the ad on SS and it took me right to the new site. On the left is the pic of what I clicked on and it also showed 3 others at the same place with up and down arrows to search for more. Maybe the auction you looked at didn't have any others at the same place.

I've used the beads in my truck/trailer tires for years with great results, including 22.5's on my motorhome. I'd like to end the bouncing in my 923 and I think the beads or liquid would work, but what about the CTIS? I doubt that would be a good marriage. Anybody tried it?

New set of matching locks thanks to "319" in the classifieds, new mirrors, repaired the fire extinguisher bracket and installed new extinguisher, replaced my light switch which gave up all of the "magic smoke" inside it on a recovery from Anniston last week. Started cleaning it up for the MVPA...

Got my last 2 EUC's in about 10 days, much faster than I thought. Usually if you talk to the GL folks and explain what you're doing they're pretty helpful, just remember it's their rodeo. I watched a guy with a serious attitude disorder get totally red-taped at Anniston the other day while I...

When they said it would be 4 to 6 weeks, I figured at least that and then some. Got two back within 2 weeks! Had to rearrange travel plans to do the pick-ups. Luck of the draw most likely

Congrats!! Welcome to the 5 Ton club! Nice looking truck, good luck with it in the future.rofl
