    M1009 antenna

    If you are looking for what I have on my M1009, it is the AS-1729 / VRC antenna. The base and attached spring bolt right on to the vehicle mounts. I believe the NSN is 5985-00-985-9024 for the AS-1729. I have seen other bases that might work, but the AS-1729 was a direct bolt on for my...

    Gentlemen: So what weight engine oil are you running in your NHC 250 Cummins? 30W as the data plate and LO indicate, or as I would be inclined to do, 15W-40 Rotella T? I really hate to run anything different than the data plate and LO indicate, but I always run 15W-40 Rotella in my diesel...

    Who won what on 12 NOV?

    Generators in Santa Fe, NM Does anyone know what the generators sold for in Santa Fe, NM. I was watching the two 30kW MEP's and the last I looked, they were over $1,500 each. They both ran (with GL pictures of them running) and looked to be clean units. Thanks!

    Texans: how long to get your Former MV plates?

    TexAndy - I am currently going through the exact same process here in Denton County, although the ladies are super nice. After about four separate calls to the "special plates" department in Austin, they figured it out. Even though this is my 5th FMV to license as such in Texas (using both the...
