    What is my M1008 Worth?

    Am I buying or selling? If I'm buying, I'm thinking $3k maybe. If I'm selling I'm going to try for $6k, without really expecting to see more than about $4200. Just my off the cuff numbers... Edit - storage can usually be found for $50/month. I've lived in apartments and stored a 939series...

    Tow light assembly TMs

    I speculate the only thing you'll lose will be the blackout lights that you'd never conceivably use while towing anyway....

    can a deuce ever be very reliable?

    The metric for "reliability" should be the ratio of breakdowns per miles driven. Or more specifically, the ratio of breakdowns that can't be fixed roadside. Using this formula, MVs are going to score fairly low in comparison to most econoboxes. Ideally we'do need a huge sample size to use for...

    Transfer case switch on M923

    Lever to the right of parking brake - all the way down towards the floor is high range, up a little is neutral, all the way up is low range. Low range transfer + reverse on the transmission = badness. Don't do it. Button on the end of the transfer shift lever allows shifting. Stuck button =...

    Shopping for M101/M1101/M1102 trailers at GL

    My preference would be for an M1101/M1102 over an M101. I've towed them behind my 1ton pickup and consider them ideal for this use. (Lifted, with custom bumper to tow the level). Prices on them are crazy high right now. I used to buy them for about $550 and had trouble selling them at $1000...

    How to Handle a Blowout

    I've had several blowouts with super singles on 939series 5ton trucks. While not an LMTV, my experience should be relevant. The one that you'd expect to be catastrophic wasn't : right steer tire on an M923A2, at highway speed, with an M925A1 on towbars behind it. Just a sudden *BANG* and the...
