    AN/VDR-2 Radiac Set

    Okay, I know this isn't something that common but I was hoping someone here would have used one before. I'm looking for information to set up for show displays and I'm not sure what type of battery this uses. From the manual it LOOKS like 3 9v batteries but I can't find anything that specifies...

    M1028a1 done

    Very nice. Glad to see you kept the box intact. I see too many M1010s (and other military modified cab/chasis type vehicles) that people take the box off of and put a standard pickup box on. It's certainly their's to do with as they want but I think it would be cheaper and easier to either...

    What should a MEP-002a / MEP-003a be worth?

    Audio Suppression Kit - or something close to that. Makes the genset sound like a 707 taking off instead of a flight of B52s

    What should a MEP-002a / MEP-003a be worth?

    And the ones you're looking at Isaac are all rebuilds (the reason they have 1-10hrs on them) so resellers are going to be pretty confident that these units will be in "as new" condition. For folks that aren't resellers then it just looks like an almost new genset. These are going for over...

    100th annv Boy Scout Parade Austin Texas

    This was one amazing parade. It started at 0900 but we didn't start moving until 1030! The 1010 was a hit, as Pawnshop said, thanks to the heater in the back. Only problem is the DUVAC has not been tamed yet and my front battery was fried during the day. Still lots to figure out before the...

    What should a MEP-002a / MEP-003a be worth?

    The prices I'm seeing right now are about the same for a MEP003A without a trailer as they were last year for one WITH a trailer. The big difference now seems to be they're releasing ones that have been rebuilt (very low hours, like 0-5hrs). I wouldn't mind getting a low mileage one to replace...

    When starting, yell "FIRE IN THE HOLE"

    To keep stupid people like me from getting rain water in the exhaust (also getting the aformentioned splatter from Keith_J).

    Mutilation?

    There was a stack of HEMTT cabs a while back that had to be mutilated. Pretty stupid but then it's the govt

    Looks really nice. Streetbikedepot said he had a new attendent seat if you need one.

    Just won a M1010

    I was actually planning to go back to the 3 color camo but decided I like the tan. I will repaint it but stick with the Desert Storm configuration. What are you guys getting fuel wise? My first half tank was a little over 11mpg and my 1st full tank (which was more hiway miles) was right at 12mpg.

    Like I tell everyone "I'm not just a user but a dealer as well." Glad I can flame the addiction.

    Genorator light issues

    Lot of confusion for people on "right/left" side. In the repair industry (both mechanical and body) the side of the vehicle is in relation to the driver sitting in the vehicle, i.e. left would be driver's side and right would be passenger side. If you ask for a left fender you'll get the...

    Vets Fighting MS West Coast VA Road Trip

    We're going to start at the Audie Murphy VA Hospital in San Antonio and the plans are for just 1 hospital per state (due to time limitations). Since I live just north of San Antonio a side trip either before or after the road trip is always a possibility. CUCVfreek - Palo Alto actually sounds...

    Vets Fighting MS West Coast VA Road Trip

    It's been a while since I updated and a lot has been going on behind the scenes. The M1010 arrived less the fuel cap so a bunch of work for that. You can get all the details on http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/43310-just-won-m1010.html Keith_J has accepted my offer to ride shotgun for the...

    Just won a M1010

    Ian, part number is 276-1144 for Radio Shack. They were under $2 for a package of 2 so I bought 2 packs in case we need spares for the trip. They're listed on the package as "Epoxy Rectifier Diodes - 3 amps 400 PIV" CUCVFreek - as Keith_J said, we are doing a Wester US VA Hospital Tour to...

    Just won a M1010

    I did have the jump seat, but thanks any way. The only thing that seems to be missing is the large cross panel on the roof of the box, the block and tackle and the pad that goes over one of the hanging litters. A lot of damage on the roof of the cab that wasn't visible in the GL photos, spot...

    Just won a M1010

    I don't think there is a new fuseable link near the DUVAC as shown in the TB though. Could be they started to do it but never completed it. There is also the "Master Shutoff" switch under the dash that isn't connected to anything. I pulled the negative battery cable last night so there...

    Just won a M1010

    Got the new drive shaft installed this afternoon, changed the oil, topped off all the other fluids and was ready to roll when Keith_J showed up. We decided to head out for a quick test drive and made it about a block without the transmission shifting once so turned around and headed back to the...

    Fuel Filter Changeout

    My problem was my M1010 was missing the fuel cap (no fuel door like 1009) and sat in Minot, ND and then Salon, IA through 2 months of snow storms. I had over a quart of water in the fuel system so had to drain/flush it. The bottle trick was slick and knowing to pull the pink wire off helped...

    Just won a M1010

    What ever you're up for. I'm waiting for the glass guy today to do the windshield then I'm running over to NAPA for the basic maint items (oil, filters, etc). Already pulled the drive shaft so just need to drop it off tomorrow and hopefully get it back quick.
