    Hi and welcome. The gray dash is a legitimate replacement. My M1009 came direct out of U. S. Army service, and it also had a gray replacement dash. I found some paint of the propper maroon color in spray cans at an automotive paint and body supply store. I painted mine and it's still...

    Just purchaced my first truck M944a1

    If you reall want to drive it, the idea of having it towed off post is the best option. Maybe a member in the Huntsville area can help. Back in January when I went to recover my wrecker, they wouldn't let me do anything where there would be a risk of spilling fluids. I found this out when I...

    Engine block cracked

    +1 on what wreckerman said. In welding or brazing cast iron, propper preheat and post weld treatment is critical. I've seen where people haveignored proper procedure, and cracks formed around the weld, resulting in a hole. The product described in the previous post appears to be an...

    Engine block cracked

    I've seen tractor engines repaired as WillWagner describes, only using a 5/16 bolt instead of the cast iron plugs. It's a method frequently mentioned on old tractor forums. For a short crack luike yours, it might the best remedy.

    Picked this up today

    I have a few of these, and the advise given is correct, they are 24v@ about 4200 watts. The only way to get wattage approaching the capacity of the unit at 110v ac would be a large dynamotor or solid state convertor. EMR, I have afew of these for sale, but your in NJ and I'm in Alabama.
