I am glad I did it. So far I have drove it around the block twice. It was 3 qrts low on tranny fluid. It shifts good and drives straight. I have to work on the brake lights. They are stuck on when you turn the the switch to power the lights. Souldnt be to hard to fix. The other three...
I hate to bring up an old thread but I have to. Lol. I put to batterys in the 1010 and it fired right up. I blew a tire unloading it so I am off to get a quick fix for that. I will see if it moves tonight.:beer:
I won it at $1477.00 on the GSA aauction site. No hidden fees. I had the title mailed to me before I even left to get it. It was located in Lebanon,Mo. 522 miles each way. This is my 3rd road trip this year for MV. Yikes. As far as tires go, I dont know. I dont need them and I will take...
Thanks everyone. So far I like it more than the 1009. It has alot of possibilitys. Its showing 13000 on it so I think the moter is good. I know they have messed with the electrical system. How much, I dont know yet. They had alot of nice looking 1031 at the lot. I asked about them but...
I have made it home safe and sound. The 1010 pulled better than the minnow did but it is heavy. I averaged 16 mpg going down and way less coming back. Lol. Here is some pics. The extra tires that were in back need a new home. Any offers?
I head out at 0600 tommorow to get this. I will post pics when I return wensday. I wont have any way to post anything until I get back. Thanks everyone.
I will do that. I am glad its not a basket case. Cab corners shouldnt be to hard to do if I dont have to remove the box. I have made up my mind and will use the trailer. If you dont hear back from me wensday night I might be Gimped. HeHe.
I heard it had a few extras in the back of it. Have you seen the truck? I hope its not a Pile of dodo. I am stuck at work so I cant check any info until I get home.
I will look tonight on the amount of lugs. It is duel axle though. My ford can take the weight no problem just I would hate to burn up a trailer axle. I always carry a spare trailer tires. Thanks everyone.
I have trailer brakes. The thing about my trailer is I have no info....... I have looked around on it but I cant find a tag with any info. Its a 500 mile drive home. Do you think a tow dolly would be a better choice. I could just drop the drive shaft and pull it. I have to make this trip...
I have to pick up a m1010 this tuesday. Anyone know if it weighs to much for a common car trailer. I know I pushed my luck with the USS Minnow but I think the m1010 is heavier. Anyone have a thought on this?
White one in MO. Not a hatefull price. I will see it wensday and I will make my decision if I keep it or part it out. I am hoping for a decent vehicle. This would make a great camper and maybe it will tow the M1009 after some mods.
I just bought one off of GSA. I dont know if it runs or not. I was told it has some duece tires in the back compartment and it shows 13000 miles on it. I am excited to see it and convert it into a camper. I have the addiction bad......... I leave tuesday to go get it. What has other folks...
The wheel base is 13 foot 8 inches for the crew cab. I put mine on a 14.6 ft trailor. I added 4 10k tie down points on the trailer so my axle straps went from the center of the trailer plus a 5k winch pulling forward. It will push your truck around trust me. I quite looking in my mirrors...
I would use alot of caution. I did it with a 7300 pound truck and it still made me alittle nervous. I found if I didnt watch the trailer I was better off. Lol. I went to U Hual and got a brake controller for $54.00. They will install it for you to if you want. My truck was already wired...
I had a Detroite ez locker in my CJ. It made a huge difference offroad but it would disingage while driving down the highway. It made for some scary moments. Lol. I hope this is a better desighn. Nice truck.
