    Advantage of a CUCV over Civilian truck

    [but also as we say in the infantry try to have thick skins and not let little stuff get to you (us). ] By the way, although a couple of bullets have made their way through my skin the insults do not bother me. I am just thinking of the overall image that is projected of the site. It was on a...

    Advantage of a CUCV over Civilian truck

    That is all fine and good but this is an INFORMATION forum first and foremost and that was what the OP was looking for and got. I get a kick out of your type A description. Most of those descriptions would not fit well in a FREE information type of setting. I guess I am a B+ type, I want to get...

    Advantage of a CUCV over Civilian truck

    Was that really called for? He was asking a legit question and he got answers and made a decision based on those answers. Tacticaldoc, You can go to any Four wheel drive shop and get what you need to beef up the suspension on the truck you have. The only concern I would have is all of the...

    Last lot of MEP-Generators on GL

    Stan, I wish I were closer. Between your machining and my welding we could probably supply a lot of the needs of the SS community. Within reason I mean.[thumbzup] Rick

    Last lot of MEP-Generators on GL

    The Dix generators were 3100 and 2900. I live right there so naturally they will be out of sight. Part of the reason was that they both showed 2 hours on the meters. Another thing to consider is the dealers buying 10 and 20 at a time. They resell the runners, fix the easy fixes and sell them and...

    M416 cargo trailer for M1009

    Try pulling a 416 behind a dually with a 11.5 foot slide in camper. And yes I can back it up. No camera either. Back up slow and as soon as you see the trailer you now know where it is headed and correct accordingly. Rick

    Help me decide the next mod.

    A properly built 700 with the red clutches and upgraded drums and a Trans-Go shift kit is a VERY strong transmission. Especially with the 4:56's I don't think you will have any problems at all. Did you check to see if the front rear was a locker? Rick

    M1009 Forward Motor Mount P/N

    The basic trucks came off of the same assembly lines as the civilian trucks, Same body, same frame, same engine block. I know throughout the years I always had problems with GM mounts not fitting for the years they were supposed to. In cars as well as trucks. Rick

    Jiffy Lube As a Source....NOT!

    Don, I know that here in NJ the shop HAS to keep on file records of where every gallon of waste oil went. If you want to give them a receipt then it is legal for the shop to give it to you but it then becomes your responsibility to prove where the contaminated oil was disposed of. Burning it is...

    Jiffy Lube As a Source....NOT!

    You guiy's are overlooking the main reason for the big oil change places selling back used oil. The oil companies re-refine the oil and sell it as the el-cheapo brands. Many years ago you could buy "Re-refined" oil. I had a Ford Galaxie that had a bad rear main seal and it used as much oil as it...

    weird wheels anyone know?

    The trailers are gen-set dollys. I just saw them up for auction on G/L. Look like 6 lug GM, probably off of a M1009. Rick
