So I decided to fix a few sections of my driveway that got washed out. Without thinking of weight, I went to a local construction Co and had them load me up with 4yrds of 1 1/2" crushed stone. The trucked handled the weight well. On my 3rd trip they loaded me with a different loader (3yrd...

I plan to get my fire wood with my truck aswell. I'll be hand loading mine until I get some steel. I intend to make some new sides with square tube steel and probably wood, before I'd be loading it with my excavator. I'm also going to cut the subframe behind the rear tire, plate both sides and...

I had seriously thought about buying one that someone had on ebay. But most didn't say anything about them going through them before listing them for sale. Most were between 15 - 20 grand. So in the end it came down to me taking a gamble (I mean how many issues could a truck have that sat most...

The truck had 9982 miles on it when I got it. After auction fees and shipping, I have a total of $9,000 in it.

Glad I got mine when I did. $5,500 + auction fee and shipping $9000. (9982 miles) Still running strong, only had minor issues. Passenger side door latch, a few screws missing from heater unit face plate, needed one nut on driverside mirror. My altinator belt just started squealing and needs to...

Talked with the guy that's in charge of the truck pull at the Farmington fair. He told me my trucks to big, they won't let me play..!! (Not even just for fun) Guess I could go up the mountain and pull some logs down for fire wood. (Roots and all)

Very nice.!! Glad to see the truck pulls so well. i have been planning to enter mine in the truck pulls this week in Farmongton, ME.

Does the paint stick well and how does it stand up to rolling the sides up?

Thanks for the replies everyone. Bikeman let me know if you find out anything. worst case scenario I could try Cool Seal. The white rubber paint they use on rubber RV roofs. thanks again.

I've seen the desert tan and green camo. Do they make any other color troop covers? I live in a winter wonderland and would like to find a white or snow camo troop cover. I Would like to paint my truck snow camo.

Yes (Govplanet) mine came from Fort Bragg. Which is 900+ miles from where I live in Maine. It would have been a long drive but I've already put 900 miles on my truck all easy. As far as the drivers licence is concerned, it's different in every state. (You can drive in other states under the...

This pdf covers the transmission in or M1078's. It lists all the different fluids that are used in these transmissions and the temperature rating of each fluid. It also states that Allison recommends the use of a ( C-4 ) Dexron3 fluid for our MD 3070pt transmission...

I won mine for $5,500 after auction fees and shipping. I have just over $9,200 in mine. I would have saved a lot of money if I had known the condition of my truck because I could have drove it home, even at 6 mpg. The only things wrong with mine was the passenger door won't open, there were some...

Thanks for all the help everyone. The wife will appreciate being able to use her own door and not crawling over the center hump. lol

I've had my 95 M1078 for a few months now. Only had a couple issues when I got it. Heater panel was missing some bolts, which was easily fixed. Besides the passenger side door not opening, the truck runs great and passed a full commercial inspection with the inspecting mechanic saying the truck...

Recently took my M1078 to (United Bikers of Maine) State Wide. The wife and I threw a spare double bed in the back and a crankin stereo sytem. (Also took a tarp so we could pull the bed out for rides) We had a blast...

My SF-97 took 58 days. I had taken out a personal loan to purchase my truck, that was to come due (in full) in 60 days. (I made sure I did it for 60 days, not trusting that the SF-97 would be here in the 30 days they claim) I was waiting on the SF-97 so I could roll the personal loan into a...

There are seals on those glad hands that can become dry rotten over time. The seals are replaceable and can be purchased at most truck stops or auto parts stores. They do have regular air valves inline with the CTIS fittings on each tire. I would also pick up a few T bolts (cage bolts). If you...

I bought a new fisher 9'6" Extreme V2 for my F350 last year. I still have my older fisher v plow. So I have an extra set of push plates I could use in the M1078 frame plate fabrication. I also have another wire harness. When I bought my M1078, I had originally thought about putting a plow on...
