    Advice needed on a M109A4

    You have a M35A3 chassis with the van body on it . Has air assist steering , CTIS , and a cat engine with a Alison Trans . DO NOT believe the odometer on any military vehicle they get changed all the time . I would recommend you have someone knowledgeable on MV's go with you to check it out ...

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    I would run it . The chip in the gear doesn't bother me , I have seen worse , That being said I would be more concerned with the condition of bearings . Check for any roughness and/or rust in the bearings and if all is good replace the seals ,lube it up and go for it .

    I have had very few problems registering my MV's at the DMV's in WNY . Results my vary as they say . Just titled my latest ride, M1031 , no problems , but it has a standard VIN . Just make sure you have good ownership documents with whatever you buy. Something else to consider is how you...

    Not hard at all to register MV's in upstate NY , down state with the Diesel emissions I am not sure . If you pick up a Deuce , it will more than likely be older than 1972 so no title , just a Transferable Registration , If you get a vehicle with a title from another state DMV will change it to...

    Metal Shavings

    Could be anything , lots of things could cause metal shavings in the oil . If you have oil problems it could be scuffed/cylinder liners or crankshaft bearings . How is your oil pressure ? have you cut open your oil filter ? it could give you a hint , bottom line is you will have some disassembly...

    Calling on all Michigan Historic Military Vehicle Owners

    Please let us know how this works out . I have been thinking about something similar for my state . They have every other plate so a plate for MV's would be great .

    1986 CUCV M1009 Decade after being wrecked.

    Sounds a lot like REVENUE ENHANCEMENT to me , a lot like the old joke about the PD walking up to your vehicle and saying you were going $100.00 over the speed limit .

    Need 1031 moved from UP Michigan to Buffalo NY

    Thanks Doghead , all of that sounds like a plan , we are early in the process , but because the truck is so far up , I am just trying to get my Duck's in a row as they say. I hate to wait for the last minute . Because of the location , it would be more direct to go thru Canada direct on the 401...
