    Hi/Lift Jack Placement?

    Thanks guys. I am a welding contractor, usually stick to pipe welding because the pay is higher. But I have done just about everything there is to do in the welding business.

    This looks bad

    So, I have had this truck for a few months, and only recently been able to put some time into driving and improving it. Today I decided to spool out the winch, clean and treat the cable. I could not get the winch to wind at all in any direction. I have spent time searching around to make sure...

    Hi/Lift Jack Placement?

    Here's a mount that I made. I still intend to make some kind of hammer style nuts to hold it down, but the double nuts are working fine for now. I opted to put the jacks inside to lower the chance of theft. The teflon is just a cutting board sliced with regular wood saws.

    HELP- Truck whines going down the road. Screeching noise coming from right wheel.

    Its my guess that your wheel bearings need to be repacked. But I am no mechanic, my tools are a torch and a big hammer.

    Adding bells and whistles

    The Golight came back from repair, so I put it back on. It was in use for about 15 minutes combined when it stopped working. The repairman said it had a bad motor. So, I'm hoping it has a good motor now. I was primarily influenced to buy it by the light's claimed ability to be synchronized onto...

    Here's a little more detail on the ladder, in case someone would like to make it. The top with the hooks is cut from 1\2" plates with a steel ladder rung sandwiched between. Sides are 1/4" strap.

    Adding bells and whistles

    Here is a shot of the switch panel I put in to control the 12v power from that converter. Also the go light controller that will hopefully simultaneously control 2 lights. Having a time with the lights, had to send one of them back. I hope that they will end up lasting a while despite their...

    I believe that is where the air line comes through the wheel to attach to the valve stem on the CTIS system.

    Adding bells and whistles

    Just wanted to share some things I've added and will be adding to my truck. This is my first attempt at uploading pictures so I might have to do some experimenting. This M35A3 was purchased from C&C Surplus, it is a 1995 with 13k miles on the odometer. My plan is to make it into a welding truck...

    Do I really want a M1009? (MPG)

    Maybe this will help you decide. If you buy it and find you don't like it, I would be willing to buy it from you for a tiny fraction of what you originally paid. On a more serious note: With proper maintenance and preparation for cold weather sounds like this truck will do well for you. I have...

    Do I really want a M1009? (MPG)

    I would suggest that, if it is possible, try to overcome the mpg hang up. I realize times are tough and some may be unable to afford extra expenses. However, its been my personal experience that the pleasure of owning, driving, and improving MVs is well worth every extra penny that I have...

    Well...I'm an idiot

    That's what I was thinking. I had to replace the whole thing. Not cheap. When it came in, the guys at the part store asked if the radiator was for a semi it was so big.

    plastic air line leak

    Good morning. Spent the last couple of days making repairs and adjustments to the new truck. Hope to get some advise on the latest problem. I found and air leak in the line going to the winch control. If this picture worked there is an arrow pointing at the top of a plastic tee. That is the...
