RE: M816 5 Ton medium wrecker I will check out your site for sure. There is a M62 on GSA in MA. Ends 7/18 that has very low bid right now, if it nots too far.

I'm wondering why the multifueler doesn't seem to get more miles on it between rebuilds? Since it sounds likes its detuned. Seems like none make it past 70 or 80 K. If the muiltifuel was converted to diesel only did it get new pistons and new injectors with a better spray pattern too? I'm also...

Thanks for the link!

Does anyone know or have a list that inventorys the tools and accessorys for the M62? I have found some tagged tools and such with my truck. What tags I have found are hand written and numbered. It would also help explain what some of these things are used for. Thank You, Greg

Thanks to this thread I got a wiffle tree for my new M62. The prior owners had one for my truck but didn't know what it was and I didn't know what to ask for until I saw your pictures. I described it and they found it in storage and gave it to me. I've sure got lots to learn. I have the pins for...

In Oregon you declare your weight also. The DMV here said since its a truck I had to get truck plates and the more weight I assign to the plate the more it cost. My other option is the overweight trip permit. Thats what I use now, $21 for 10 days any weight. In Oregon you don't need a CDL for a...

Whoever did that, I would say loved their truck, but didn't love it as a military wrecker.

Great Pictures! Thank You I've never seen a wiffle tree, let alone one in action. Does anyone have a picture of a complete tow bar, both ends of it. Thanks again. Greg

What is a wiffle tree? I also would like a picture. Thanks

Desert Rat, What do you know about GL upping bids so they make more on the deal? I haven't bought from them, but I have talked to them and they were very unaccomodating. I decieded I wasn't going to deal with them.

Does anyone know when the first M series 5 ton was built and who built them? I know International built some in the early 50's, were they the first? Like the M35, were there many manufacturers? Does anyone know production numbers of these early gas engine models? Thanks, Greg

Thanks, for the excellent info.

Under vehicle specs on this site the M1009 is listed as a 3/4 ton. If I understand correctly the 10 in D-10 is half ton? So M1009's aren't all the same? or is the info in vehicle specs incorrect? I'm a little confused.

Thanks for the info. The D is military. Does the 10 stand for half ton like the civilian models?

I don't know what D-10 means either. I possibly thought it might have been a half ton version. Thats why I was asking if all M1009's were alike. This one was an Airforce vehicle. My paperwork calls it a MIL D10. The maintenance records list it as a M1009. Thanks for the help.

I'm a new owner of a 1985 M1009/D10 Blazer. Are all of these built the same? Did they all come with the same drivetrain? I know mine is original because I have the maintenence records with it. Thanks

There is soluble oil. Add to your coolant, lubes the water pump. Its been around a very long time. I was at a auto parts/accessory store today, they have one big area just for oil and additives. There seemed to be less additives and the ones they did have weren't making the claims of extending...

I know the claims are misleading and that they are trying to sell their product. That is why I'm asking for personal experiences. Aside from that, is there something, anything, backed up scientifically? The football player trying to hold onto the end of a screwdriver dipped in STP isn't what I...

I have used some of these products in the past but I never really knew if they worked or how well they worked. Please elaborate on how they worked for you. I may use one on the premise "better safe than sorry" but if anyone has any evidence of their effectiveness, or even why you think one...

I thought an additive would be a good idea cause on cold start ups there is no oil anywhere until the oil filters are charged. From the time your engine starts till the time your bearings get oil pressure the engine has turned many revs. I for one may go a month between start ups. Many additives...
