Hardly. Removed the engine/trans from the wrecked M1009.

It's steel framed and aluminum skin. You can get a rough idea by looking at the curb weight of the M1010 vs the M1008 M1010 Curb Weight 7370 lbs M1008 Curb Weight (Total) 5900 lbs (2679 kg) distributed 55% front/45% rear If we assume a truck bed weighs about 500 lbs, that would...

Everything is electronic. A sensor malfunctions or fails and you'll be in limp home mode, about 20 MPH. Replacement parts are expensive. Yellow engines are expensive.

I'm looking at a 1987 M35A2... I've been told that all of the 87's were on an Air Force contract. What are the differences between the older pre-87 m35A2s? I've heard they have a knockout for landing lights, a heater, an air lock front axle, and a dual circuit brake system. Is that true? What...

I got sucked into .mil vehicles because I wanted a diesel vehicle, and kept seeing these olive drab K5 blazers go for stupid low money because some idiot converted it to 24V and put a big brush guard on it... oh.. wait.. what? 24V ? Who would do that?!. Wha... why does that look like a factory...

Like most grand ideas..... Plans changed, and I sold the truck... Between a 30ft+ truck, only 12ft of the box really being usable due to the side doors, and 5 MPG, I reevaluated. I then started realizing the XLWB was horrible offroad, prone to getting high centered, the added weight wasn't...

Grover 1512/1510, aka stuttertone.... aka fire truck horn. Clears intersections amazingly well.. The knockoffs are Wolo: Chief and United Pacific 46174 Real one is $300+, knockoffs are less than $100

It's not 6v, it is 12v, it uses the high side as a path to ground through the front park/turn bulb. So, when the parking lights are on, it's solid. When the turn signal and parking lights are on, the side alternates. Essentially, it's not wired to ground and park, it's wired across the parking...

but you can always create one.

Got released. Staying at a friend's place for a little bit. Hagerty, which is my insurance for the vehicle, has been amazing. I paid to keep my truck that's part of my insurance policy, and they're going to tow it from Vancouver to Tacoma. I was able to go to the tow yard and find my glasses...

a Comcast/xfinity truck/van according to the trooper

rear ended. 40 min extrication. 4 fractured ribs, fractured l7 something or other... Still in Hospital on o2 due to difficulty breathing due to pain

Which is absolute unadulterated BS, because they allow Model Ts, A's, etc etc and everything on the road as an antique.....

I only needed 12 Bosch glow plugs to replace the SWELLmans that were 35 yrs old. Damn tabs kept breaking.. known issue apparently. Pulled the dash apart, painted the back of the cluster gloss white, replaced with LEDs except GEN bulbs... Bought a 2 pack of Bosch 194s... 1 of which was DOA...

Bought an M1009 a couple months ago... Just getting around to a couple maintenance items. I mentioned replacing the vacuum lines and fixing the 'transmission issue', heh. Did an oil change with full synthetic to help with cold starts. Cranks over quite a bit faster. Replaced the fuel filter...

That sounds awesome. DRW it if it isn't already...and it sounds like you'd have an awesome rig... Just be aware of the length and ground clearance re:high centering it if you go off road. the XLWB doesn't help in situations like that.

I used thin self-adhesive insulating foam weather stripping for my rear door seal. Home Depot, maybe $6...

Hah. /offtopic I had a car come in, 'intermittent equipment failure'.... Took it on a test drive, hit a bump *click* circuit breaker kicked..... pulled over.. reset it... worked great... *bump* ... *click*.... head back to shop.. Traced all wires to center console, all neat and tidy from the...
