I Well.. I'm biting the bullet & switching my 1009 & 1031 to gas motors, 12 volt system & a complete painless wiring harness. I'm tired of the feeling I get about the unreliability of the electrical & mechanical nightmare of just driving 15 miles to town, & not knowing if it will just up & quit...

Heres some pic.s of the winch bumper I just made for my m1009. Pretty self explanitary. John

Well... seeing I have two cucvs now I bit the bullet, & shelled out 150 clams for a set of jumper cables. Well the big brown truck just delivered them & OH-MY-GOD they're huge!!. They're 20 feet long & the ups box said they weighed 33 lbs. They look like new. I'm tickeled. Makes me want to rush...

I got my E.U.C cleared for my M1031 in 15 days. Time for a little roadtrip with the car trailor sometime early in the week. It's only 228 miles but I'll trailor that rascal anyway. I don't much care for surprises. My name is John... & I have a "green iron" addiction. :beer:

Won a M1031 today. Under 11,000 miles with a 12 KW gen. with 6 hours on the meter & compressor. Shop maintenance truck. Time to go thru the EUC thing & SF97 & hurry up & wait. Looks like this ones only about 225 miles away, so it's ROADTRIP with the car trailor. Didn't think I had a chance but...

Newbie to the M.V. world & diesels in general (never owned either) & not exactly computer litterate, so bear with as I try to feel my way around this site. :wink: Bought a M1009 about six months ago, & was going to change all the fluids..... well... one thing lead to another & I'm still doing...
