    Hearing Protection

    Using ear buds and an ipod/iphone or similar MP3 works best. The music cancels out the steady tone of the tires/engine. Ear plugs are fine for short distances, but for a long trip, ear buds are indispensable.

    Tons of Questions for the Experts

    1009's do NOT have 3/4 ton axles. They are 1/2 ton. If driven and maintained properly, they are quite adequate. If not, failure is eminent.

    Tons of Questions for the Experts

    You have tons of reading to do. The 6.2 diesel is designed to run only diesel. However, there are some people that run a mix in warmer climates.

    Pencil me in. I will be there unless I find something better to do on that day. But what could be better than a parade to honor our Veterans on my birthday???

    Coolant Flush

    Use either the additives with regular coolant, or fleet coolant which already has additives, but not both. Also be aware if you have a coolant filter, it may also contain time release additives. Too much or too little is a bad thing. Gimpy is right on with recommending the test strips.

    Coolant Flush

    These engines are made with cylinder sleeves and highly recommend fleet coolant with SCA's (Supplemental Coolant Additives). The regular green stuff will work fine as coolant, but could possibly lead to corrosion issues farther down the road. When I replaced my oil cooler, there was regular...

    M932 Pickup from Indianapolis. Could use advice!

    If the truck needs to be towed, either flat towed or by a wrecker, there is no need to pull any driveshafts. Make sure both the transmission and transfer case are in neutral. When operating the truck, BE SURE to pay attention to the start up/shut down sequence. If not, you stand a good chance of...

    M931A2 conversion to a dropside M923A2 type possible?

    I have no worries in general, and not because of the HMV plates. Research the laws in the states in which you will be driving. If in doubt, hire the CDL driver. I personally would never charge someone for driving their truck. Just cover the expenses. Then again, I am different.

    M931A2 conversion to a dropside M923A2 type possible?

    I have a shortened 5 ton dropside bed on my M932A1. Yes it does ride stiff, especially approaches to bridge decks and washboard roads. An air ride seat makes a huge difference. I am driving it from Ohio to the Georgioa Rally again this year. I think the best suspension mod would be ditching the...

    I hope you didn't leave the key in it and scanner boxes on the seat :whistle:. I like how the M1061A1 has those handy stabilizer legs for hauling trailers on trailers under Workhorses.

    3-900 series manuals Are these 3 different manuals? I want one/all. Would rather have the paper version than trying to find stuff on my laptop. I guess I need some organizational lessons from Sir Head of Dog.

    New M1008 - Indiana

    Check the fuel tanks for leaks. Last time I saw it, it was deep in the woods and leaking fuel. We plugged a hole with a cutting from a sapling. Vehicle was driven from Georgia back to Michigan with the temp fix.

    2013 Fall Haspin Rally Parts For Sale/Trade/Barter

    That is fine for small, light stuff that is easy to pack around. I want my heavy stuff to be spoken for before I load and haul it. Makes it easier to enjoy the crowd and the trails.
