I have posted on Kenny's thread about this truck, but I'd like a little more attention for a broader opinion of what I should do and time is running out for this truck.... I found a 1953 gasser M35 W/W on Craigslist that the owner is parting out (I guess due to no title). It is a complete...

My 816 tossed the generator belts yesterday on the way back from the parade in Denver. According to the TM, you have to remove the fan to change the belts, and to remove the fan you have to remove the radiator. Has anyone removed just the fan or do you have to remove the radiator? Later, Joe

Sometime in its life before I got it, my 816's front winch got damaged. Probably by getting moved around the GL yard prior to sale by a forklift. Does anyone know where I can get these parts? I'm going to be in Barstow this weekend so I'm going to check around there (and if someone wants to go...

I unloaded the CUCV from the trailer today with the 816. After some repositioning to get the '09 closer so it wouldn't swing into the wrecker and the wrecker so the feet would sit flat, everything went pretty smoothly.

My 816 has a leak around the shaft of the hoist winch hydraulic motor. I looked in the TMs but can only find how to remove the motor, but nothing about how to disassemble it and replace the seal. Is there a separate TM for the crane? Thanks, Joe

I'm so happy I just have to post about it.... I got the first of the two residue trucks that I bought from GL started!!! :jumpin: :jumpin: It runs great with no strange noises and no smoke from the tailpipes. I'm still sorting out the wiring so I can make sure that the glow plug system and...

I've got all the TMs, but nothing replaces first hand experience... My new 816 has an EXTREMELY low pedal. It stops about an inch (or less) above the floor so I'm assuming it's either REALLY low on fluid or needs to be bled. Is bleeding the brakes on the 5 tons the same as anything else, or do...

I'm driving out to Barstow on the 15th and will be there all weekend. Is there any way I could get a group together to introduce me to the Fontana yard? If that's not possible, anyone in the Barstow area able to help me find a MV yard in the area? :) Later, Joe

I'm going to be picking up my third M1009 and will be going from Colorado Springs to Barstow with an empty truck and towbar-ing the '09 back in the middle of May. If anyone needs something hauled there or items that will fit in a truck bed or Blazer brought back, let me know and we can work...

I'm building a CUCV clone Suburban and was wondering if I could solicit some opinions about which interior color to go with. The truck was originally grey with grey interior. I am painting all metal components in the interior with 383 green, but I'm trying to decide what to do for the 'soft'...

Does anyone know where there is an M1010 Ambulance being parted out? I am specifically looking for the air conditioning and dual alternator brackets from the front of the engine. I am going to try to add AC to my 1009 and I think this would be the easiest way to go about it. I would prefer all...

I just received a letter in the mail from DLA Office of Investigations instructing me on the requirements for Demil items and to make sure I understand them because: "It is the exporter's responsibility to ensure the property is correctly classified and all appropriate licenses are obtained...

Does anyone know where I can get towbar adapters that will fit a CUCV? Thanks, Joe

I was looking at the project for sale in this section but decided to make a new topic rather than take his off topic. Does anyone know how you go about titling a 'homebuilt' HMMWV? What I mean is, a HMMVW that someone assembled from parts acquired from multiple sources. Colorado talks about...

I picked up an engine-less M1009 in CA because it's in really good condition to make one good truck out of the two I just won at GL and the price was right. The truck is in Laguna Hills CA (Near El Toro MCAS). I can get out there early next month to bring it back if someone can pick it up and...

I'm looking at a M1009 that someone bought from GL for the engine and they are selling the rest for a killer price, only problem is that they did not get an SF97 on it since they never intended to register it. Is there any way that I can apply for the SF97 or do they have to do it? The reason...

I'm getting two residue M1009s from GL and would like to know if there are any specifics that I should look for before starting them up for the first time? I know they are drained per GL (EPA) requirements so I'll have to refill them with fluids, but is there anything specific to check on before...

Well, with the price of shipping and all, I'm considering driving my new (to me.. LOL) 816 back to Colorado from NJ... (1780 miles) But I have a couple of questions... First off, who lives on the I-70 corridor and would be willing to help out if Murphy hitches a ride? Second, does anyone need...

My home phone is not in my name, it's in my girlfriends. Will that be an issue and cause problems with my EUC being approved?

So I just won two 1009s from GL and was wondering... What's the worst shape CUCV that anyone has brought back from the dead? I bought them with the intention to build a CUCV Suburban, but since I won them both, I'm thinking of assembling one out of the two and using the remains to build the...
