I am also looking for a cheap one near reno. All of the cheap ones are in AL. or GA.

Yea, I pick them up tomorrow, I cant wait!

The other day when my M1028 head gasket failed, the tow truck driver picked it up from the front and towed it about one mile before switching to the rear. After towing it for 30 miles at 55mph(trans neutral, tcase 2wd), my speedo no longer worked (dont know why, havent looked yet). So the...

Im sure it could be done but probably not safely for 400 miles. I guess I will have to track down a trailer. I am pissed that I didn't buy a military tow bar a few years ago at a swap meet.

Im not sure what brand of dolly uhaul uses, so I was wondering if it can be done. Uhaul states that the M1009 is to heavy for the dolly. Will the tires fit on it? I am sure someone has tried it. If not, I will be looking for a tow bar in southern cAli. Thanks

Just won three M1030b1's for my fireteam (they look super badass will all of the USMS logos). Does anyone have any experience with the military klr650. I have looked them over and I should be able to get all three road worthy in no time. On two of the bikes, the engines were removed for the...

I should of saw the early warning sign. I had sludge in the coolant indicating coolant mixing with oil. If I get away with just a head gasket, I will need to shovel that sludge out unless there is some type of cleaner. I hope the loud knocking is just from a/several leaking cyl. and not a...

I cant wait till I have time off to pull the head. Since I saw super black smoke at the time off over heating (clean now) a hole in how the piston could be possible. I was going to bid on 3 6.2's last month at pendleton but changed my mind. All three went for 300. WHat a deal when you have a...

I knew I should of installed a temp gauge. My dummy light never came on. I just hope the block/ heads arnt cracked.

While climbing from 3000 ft. to 9000 ft. in 100 degree heat in Death Valley, I noticed the sweet smell of coolant and a black cloud behind me (exhaust not usually visible in my truck). I thought I was over heating so I pulled over and my 26qt's of coolant was flooding the road. Under the hood...

Ambulancechser Do you have any pics of the superlift rear spring packs. I wonder if they are as heavyduty as the OEM's. Are they military wrapped.

Warning on the steering Block. While getting my M1008 aligned, the tech checked the block and two of the four studs were sheered (very close call). After several hundred dollars maching the two studs out, I check them every week to make sure they are at 100 pounds. I have bought a second stud...

Thanks for the help...Let me know

I am thinking about the M1009 at Rock Island. If anyone is going there would you mind looking at it for me so I dont have to many surprises when I fly in. Thanks http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=895796&convertTo=USD

It was $150 from autozone for the 1008. The rebuild kit just got here so I dont need it. Here it is on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8072116536&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT

I found this pic on the web. I wonder what happened....

I got it off with a center punch and anger. Thanks for all you help. I still have the $50 Hydroboost rebuild kit if anybody needs it.

After all, I did not go with the seal kit. I got the rebuild from Kragen and I have to swap backing plates. The unit is notched for alignment so it wont turn inside the plate. I am gong to try hammer and punch again to get it off.

M1008 square nut. I cannot remove this tight 4 sided nut and I am out of ideas. A crecent wrench, deep socket (because of the non removable rod) and a punch have failed to do it. I need an idea so I can get it off and place the mount on the new boost. Thanks

So while swapping belts today, I noticed a round sensor mounted in the block with no wire attached. The sensor looks like it has one blade just like a glow plug (unless the other blade broke off). It is between the power steering pump and the front glow plug. In my glow plug/AC wires, I found...
