    Well, I done did it. Won a m1078. Need to get it home... In Wahington - any suggesti

    I was installing the drive shaft. I wasn't too sure how tight to make the bolts and I stripped one. I sure hope it was the bolt and not the yoke. Man I am not a happy camper. I know why they military went to the bolts with the head that breaks off. I wish I could find those.

    More CTIS questions...

    Guess you could look at the date code. I believe that the 5 digit code if first 2 digits are year and they last 3 are the days in the year.

    Going to call my truck the socket buster... and these fasteners are NOT rusted. I don't know if this is factory apes or military gorillas who tighten these fasteners... Fine thread to boot. I think its time to invest in a rattle gun... never needed one before... Just don't know if I want to go...

    Buzzer with volume control?

    I for got to say that the buzzers are 2 tone. One is a continuous beep and the other is intermittent . I swapped the wires to make it beep intermittently. So now the troop seat alert is the continues tone .

    WOOHOO got my truck plated!

    Well I did have a glitch... the lady used the certificate number as the vin... had to go back and work that out. It was just an error on their part and I didn't look at the paperwork until I got home. But still not as bad as I had read. No inspections or anything like that.

    WOOHOO got my truck plated!

    I registered it as a Pickup Truck... In Washington we only get one year. It was like $378.00 with title and transfer fees. The Weight fees killed me. They used the wieght on the sf-97 times it by 1.5 and then rounded up to 28,000 pounds. I can try and get a lighter scale weight later.
