I've had this trailer for 6 months or so but it has just been used to haul stuff since I don't have a pickup truck. It pulls great behind my M1009 and I love it's versatility.
When I bought the trailer I also bought the top, several bows, one side board, and a front board. I decided I wanted to...
I've got a Glowplug card that has all functions except grounding the relay. I currently have a switch that grounds the relay and I just hold the switch till the light goes out and everything is peachy.
I planned to pull the card and trace some circuits but thought I would ask for advice first...
After getting outbid on a Cobra 29 LTD Army I decided to roll my own.
It all started when I came across an old speaker in my dads shed.
I did a little more digging and came across a Realistic radio covered in dust. Here's a pic after some scrubbing.
Rewired the speaker and put some...
I ran across this at a cool warehouse full of a pickers stash of goodies. Did enough research last night to find out it is a RT-70 with a AM-65 amp with spring loaded mount. I know nothing about military or ham radios, so keep that in mind.
He mentioned having the original decommission...
Ran into a guy who has a Mep-018a for sale. He says it was running a year ago but now has a bad fuel pump. He was planing to convert it to propane. He is asking $500.
I was wondering if its worth me even going to look at it at that price? My searches didn't find much on 018a prices. Hope...
I've been chasing this problem since I bought my M1009. When I park, nose up in my inclined drive way and it sits for more than a few hours, it starts then stalls. After that it has a long crank time, often requiring me to hold the pedal on the floor. It runs rough for a few seconds then is fine...
Ok, I have searched a bunch of threads and I have come to the conclusion that this poor civilian doesn't know enough to figure out what my M1009 markings should be.
I got some great info from Carnac's VIN info thread but now how do I use that to make up some bumper markings.
Here is the info...
I just bought this project and could use your advise and suggestions. It's a M101a2 that is in pieces. It's mostly complete and I should probably add that I have never owned or worked on one of these before.
The main problem I'm having is whether to weld the tongue back on and reinstall the...
I was going to start a thread about my lazy passenger side alternator but it just up and died. Before it died it would need a little kick up in rpm before it would start charging. I have read that is normal. It would then take up to 5 minutes for it to reach 13.7 volts. Drivers side would always...
After many sleepless nights searching the internet I think I have found out what it takes to convert a 2wd TH400 trans for use in a 4wd behind a 6.2 diesel.
I will document the process that I am using over the next few days.
The best 2wd case to use is one that has the bosses for the bolt on...
I have been lurking for awhile and finally pulled the trigger when the right deal came along.
Sort of a basket case that the previous owner didn't have time to finish. I hope I'm up to the task. Converting to a stick shift. Most of the parts are there except for the flywheel and possibly the...
