CJ, I just recovered my second M1009 from Ft. Riley a couple of weeks ago with no incident. My total money in it is about $2400, including GL fees and taxes. Given my wife travels for a living and has all sorts of 'points' on all sorts of things. So she got me $200 worth of Amex gas cards and...

My FIRST M1009 was purchased from a private individual who got it from a sheriff's office. It was also painted white when he got it, but he repainted it to be three color camo. Love my truck. Wish you well with your purchase. Can't go wrong. AND it should have a title without having to go...

87 - 91 Suburban DIESEL 40 GAL tank at LMC Truck for $140 plus S&H. You WILL need extended bolts for the straps and extended bolts for the skid plate to mount up. IT IS deeper. But it does fit between the rails. At least from ones I've had the measurements were the same. Someone here HAS...

Schumacher yes... I splurged. It was my second one. The first one lasted twenty years. So I got the Schumacher SE3000 - Best money I've EVER spent. If you have ANY vehicles that are 24v, this IS the only way to go. I love mine. Schumacher Wheeled Starter/Charger — 200/80/60/44/30 Amp...

CrashAF might have a set. Contact him with a PM.

Duncan, I WAS going to say 'I HATE YOU' because I've always wanted a Tatra. Then I noticed WHERE you live. So, good job D. You certainly made OWNING a Tatra a great story. YOURS IS A SWEET RIDE FOR SURE. Love the color. Great pix. Thanx for sharing. If you EVER move here and want to...

It's kinda funny. I was getting in a buddy of mines truck and started to roll the window down. He said, "I got AC". It literally cracked up. I mainly just drive my CUCV'swith NO AC so the first thing I do is roll down the window. Mudstones original part of the story parallels mine. Bought...

I COULD be incorrect, but foaming along the CENTER LINE? I see three connections, two of which are steel lines indicating they are under pressure. The third one has a flexible rubber hose connection to the steel line, so I'm ASSUMING (I know, I know) return line. IF you are getting foam ALONG...

I'd like to add my welcome as well. You can't go wrong with an M1008 as a work truck. My M1028A2 dually is more of a collectors truck than work truck, but she DOES get the chance every once and a while. At 57 year old I just don't use it to haul nearly as much as you would. But realize the...

OK, several things. The CUCV's (most Chevy trucks of this vintage) use the electrical resistance between the DASHBOARD BULBS into some of the circuits. DO ALL YOUR NIGHT TIME DASHBOARD LIGHTS WORK? Do both Gen 1 & Gen 2 lights come on? Does the 4WD light and the oil light both come on? How...

Yeah, I got a Robo Tool, catalog 2011. It's a ONE INCH drive. For the M1 Abrams Tank. I NEVER used air for my lug nuts. Was NOT necessary. I used the air for my air/hydraulic 20 ton jack I got at Harbor Freight on sale for like $110. I could change a tire on my deuce in less than twenty...

Geared CORRECTLY this will do most of what you want. If you are attempting to go offroading and mudding, then you COULD buy the pickup M1008 but it would eliminate the ability to carry FOUR people. OR, just swap in a different set of gears or swap in the axles from a 1008 under a 1009 and...

What he said. THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. That way you CAN swap them side to side if choose OR if it's necessary.

OK, the Detroit Diesel 6.2L engine (when NEW) produced approximately 135 hp AT the flywheel. Getting that particular engine to produce 250 hp WILL be a challenge. If this is what you are set on, read this thread. Because Devilman DID all the things you are talking about. AND THEN SOME...

Both I and the State Patrol guy agreed he was NOT drunk. There was no smell, no bottles in the car at all (yeah he COULD have pitched them), and he just acted confused. Once the State Patrol arrived, I talked with him for a couple of minutes as I handed him the guys ID and his car keys. He...

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/military-vehicle-road-trips/54383-m1009-recovery-success.html Full story, no problems with pix and everything. OK, I posted this in 'Road Trips'. Mods if you WANT to move that thread to the CUCV section and then either delete this one or lock one or both, fine by...

RYAN, Like everyone says, good you and your son are OK. Don't let the insurance TAKE the M1009. They will generally offer you whatever you paid, but will sell it back to you as a salvage title vehicle for pennies on the dollar. THAT'S YOUR PARTS TRUCK. Plus a pretty good reminder about...

RL, EXCELLENT description. Right on the money. And yeah, that's exactly where every one of mine have gone. In front of the radiator but behind the grill. If you either purchase a black one, OR spray the silver one with a flat black paint they LITERALLY disappear behind the grill. And yeah...

Ok, this is exactly HOW I keep my axes. Though to be honest, I just use inexpensive grey primer. As long as the head is completely painted, I KNOW it's sharp and ready to use. Once I use them, FIRST I clean them, then I sharpen them (yes, even the shovels), then I repaint them. It keeps them...

These trucks have a tendency to have the fuel filter block to leak air. I replaced one that WAS leaking air after living with an unknown problem for three years. I got mine from a guy on Ebay. He has a 100% rating. I think I paid like $70 shipped to me...
