    M920 made it home!

    Ditto on what Karl said I have a thread here about putting 16.00's on my m916. Little machine work on frt drums & your good to go. The 16.00's look like they belong on it. I was was hoping for a 920 but ended up with the 916 Now just need to find a really large knuckleboom to throw on it :)...

    CUCV Long Term storage container

    I have a couple that I use for vehicle storage. They work great but are a little tight getting in & out of. I also have a 53ft one that's 6in wider. No pics right now Like I said earlier they are rodent proof, keeps the field mice from tearing up the wiring.

    CUCV Long Term storage container

    I like the Camo paint job. Ive used containers for years, they make great storage. A little tight on parking in them but they are rodent proof.

    Mysterious Transmission Leak?

    You can remove the trans cooler lines & inspect them. I've spliced one before (it had rubbed a hole in it) When they are out you can measure them, buy the closest length of steel tubing & use the old ones as guides to bending new ones. The steel vacuum lines runs from the modulater up the top...

    Mysterious Transmission Leak?

    A clogged breather tube will cause fluid to be pushed out of the dipstick tube. My dad had a new 84-85 3/4 ton catch fire & burn because of that. Trans over pressured & puked trans fluid all over the cat, it caught fire & burned the truck. Gm then went to the flip over handle that helps seal...

    question on 1031 pricing ..

    I echo what most above have said. I have TWO & have considered selling one BUT look at what it would cost to replace (not another m1031) but a similar truck with all its capabilities = $$$ EVERYTHING I have is for sale, it's just most won't pay what I'm willing to sell it for :) Figure a...

    m1009 occasional scary steering

    I'll disagree When steering whether in 2wd or 4wd that ujoint has to move (pivot). It doesn't matter if it's rotating or not.

    Generator Sizing for 550sqft Cabin?

    I would do more research on the "easement". An easement is just that than easement ! The owner might not have any say in what or how something is run thru it.

    SF-97, *exactly* what is it?

    You can still TITLE it in your name, = proof of ownership !!! The "off road use only" is a restriction to prevent you from registering it.

    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    Day late & a dollar short !! Bet it will be like the 1101 & 1102's a few years back. Except with these they will just refund your money (no interest on the money they have had for the last 6 months)

    m1009 occasional scary steering

    Check ball joints, axle ujoints, tie rods, drag link ends, rag joint on steering shaft. Give it a good once over. Is the steering tight & responsive or does it seem loose all the time ? It could also be something as simple as an alignment.
