    M809, what to bring when collecting one from GL

    I was serious about sending a wrecker after the truck. I have a trucking company picking up my new 813A1 tomorrow in NJ for the 200 mile or so tow back home. I did the math. Insurance, trip permit, fuel 2 ways, helper, (long) day off work, tolls (in my case), equals $400 minimum if Murphy does...

    Need Vinyl or Canvas Cargo COver, ASAP

    Well, when you've got to have it now, sometimes it gets painful :doh: I wouldn't put a 14' canvas on a 12' bed, but that's me. Good luck.

    oil pressure, water temp and volts.

    AGREED, unless the gauge isn't reading correctly? I've had that happen on new installs. Wrong sender matched to the guage? 2cents

    GL ambalance at Ft. Meade

    Last 2 times I tried to enter through the back gate I was either sent through the security check (exit the vehicle and had the dog sniff thing) or told I had to enter through the main gate off Rt 175. Have never been able to enter through the back gate w/o hassle. :?:

    Has anyone ever bobbed a 5-ton??

    I can attest to the loss of braking power with the drop of 1 axle - especially when you add the 16.00 XL's. Can create some pucker factor in short / panic stops. :shock:

    Converting M818 to M813

    BK- As usual, your intel is correct. I have two M813's (one hiding fairly close to Tidewater VA in New Kent) for sale. Also have five M35's and two M1009's that could probably use new homes. Don

    Deuce Belt Interchange

    they're all on the old site in the parts cross reference section. Probably somewhere on here also - but I haven't found them :?: Probably has something to do with a Wiki ;-)

    NJ to Virginia Beach and back

    Sorry to offend you - it certainly was not my intent. I suppose the joy of the season got into me and I attempted some humor. If a reply like mine cause you such concern, I might suggest you begin a new thread titled "Useless Posts" and let the SS members know your feelings on the subject. It...

    NJ to Virginia Beach and back

    So I suppose that means the M813A1 I need hauled from Bordentown, NJ to Fairfax, VA won't fit on the trailer? :grin:

    EUC Ready

    Charles is the site manager in Richmond. He's a super guy and will work with you to get you in and out. Make sure to call and CONFIRM the day you plan to go. The days for pickup there change sometimes. Tell him you're a SS member. He knows many of us well. I was there on Monday this week and...

    Diesel exhaust color meaning?

    OK, so I guess it's my turn to be the TM police. Fully described in the -34 TM if I remember correctly. :-D

    My new M1009

    Probably worth more than a 1009? Money wise I mean.

    What are those things

    If they are noise filters, they're not doing their job in any CUCV I've seen. They're one of the loudest vehicles I've ridden in.;-)

    $500 1986 m1009

    Recovery Successful! Went and picked up the M1009 today - rain, fog, traffic yuch! About 2 hours each way in stop and go on the DC Beltway. It rained the hardest today while I was doing the solo winch it up on the trailer thing :doh: It is exactly as described and I appreciate the deal that...
