well the reason they are beiong parted out is the bodies on both are rusted through in some spots. the camo one runs great, but has rust throughout and wouldnt be worth repairing. the all green one is missing parts to make it run, but has a broken t-case and the body isn't much better. hard to...

i bought two m1008's from barstow a few weeks ago. now i just need to part them out so the wife will leave me alone. i ended up with 3 sets of top bows/spreaders for the canvas tops in one of the trucks, which was kinda unexpected.

i know they have something to do with the radio, but what exactly is it and what's it worth? gonna part this truck out.

i should have mentioned i have a new pump in it. thinking that was the problem i changed it. the opinions i have so far from local shops is: one says main bearings... one says down to 5 psi is within range for the 6.2 (this came from a military mechanic that works on m1009/m1008's all the time...

my m1009 has about 80,000 on the ticker. since shortly after i bought it,i installed an oil pressure gauge instead of relying on the idiot light. when the engine is cool the oil pressure is around 40psi. after it warms up, or after i turn it off and restart it after driving a bit, the oil press...

the only ones i could find were back east. seems it would cost quite a bit to get one out here. i would imagine, and correct me please if i'm wrong, but is most of the weight in the axle assembly? the trailer itself doesnt seem like it should be that heavy... i'm not trying to argue, i am just...

hmmmm, that heavy huh??.....well i only intend to use it for keeping all my camping gear in when i go 4 wheeling. i needed something with high clearance and the price was right. i will probably swap the axle to one with electric brakes and 8 lug pattern to match my blazer later down the road. or...

brand spankin new to the site, but have checked it out from time to time... not sure why i didnt join earlier..... now for the 1st ?... i just bought an m105a2 from govliquidation.. will the pintle and lunet be the same size for my m1009? or do i need to swap one or the other? thanks.
