m35a2 That will be the cheapest .if you want to camp out in it you might look at a m109 that variant has a box on the back and guys make offroad campers out of them. Preview the auction vehicle if you are going the GL route and like it was said above get one that has everything you want on it...

+1 for ice.

Thanks will do!

WD 40 no longer ignites as far as I know since they changed the formula a few years back. No Kaboom as it's only gasoline vapor and not liquid. The idea is only to get you running if you are stuck somewhere. Replacing the glow plugs is, of course, the best alternative. I learned this from a 20...

While I agree that you should do it right as said in my above post. This may help with troubleshooting, or if you are stranded. Replacing the glowplugs are the first priority. I had to do this once when stuck after having to change a filter, I NEVER said that this should be the way to NORMALLY...

With the air cleaner off. Pour a little gasoline on a rag and put it over the 2 studs on the air intake. Make sure it is NOT DRIPPING you just want gasoline vapor. remove the rag as soon as it starts, make sure the rag isn't going to be pulled into the intake also.:shock:

:oops: Should have looked.... maybe he should have been more careful in his recovery:gimp2:

Awesome build!!!!!

I installed a 24v to 12v transformer in mine ($40) works great and the load is balanced (the alternator should be able to handle the extra load of small electronics. I put a backup camera on my m109 and switched the 12v output plug so it is able to be turned off an on anytime, also works great...

AWESOME 109! Wow I wish mine had half of the stuff yours does! I highly recommend reading about recovery BEFORE you go to pick it up. Learn to use the SEARCH function here as it will save you lots of headaches. Prepare for the worst when picking it up. Remember THIS IS NOT A MINIVAN you will be...

CUCV: $3600.00 Title and Registration: $200.00 Wife cleaning out third bay in garage so she doesn't have to see a "redneck mobile" parked outside the house: PRICELESS! Just wait till you get a deuce! Mine can't stand the fact that it's in the front yard. I told her I would move it soon and I...

While others will disagree.... I have started mine with either when the glowplugs aren't working. THIS IS NOT A GOOD PRACTICE LONG TERM. You can also use gasoline and a rag. Mine also goes through a ram air mod that pulls air from the front so that it's NOT a big hit of either going into the...

to stop the mud daubers thread up a exhaust air fitting with a screen.

Welcome to the addiction! I drove my truck home without lights (it was getting a little dark 15 min from home) then figured it out. :shock: Sorry you have a wiring issue. I have only replaced a switch so I couldn't help but if you are ever up around Henderson NC give me a yell. If you bought the...

Ok thanks...lots to do tomorrow! It has been normal, but I haven't checked it in a few weeks. It's possible, but I haven't noticed any "slop" in the drivetrain. It seems to be tight. I may have to mount a video camera (one of those reverse cameras) underneath to see if anything is moving around...

Frankly you could install a 24v to 12v transformer and then a aftermarket radio and speakers then you have a ipod jack in the front and maybe even a usb. Have him help and he will learn a useful skill, he will also learn his way around the truck, and that, some things are worth working for...

No not yet. I will do that. I did check the spring to axle attachment. If it's not the motor mounts looks like it may be spring bushings. I hadn't even thought of that thanks!

Yes checked the tire Thanks! I actually feel the bump I thought maybe the rear axle was moving slightly. I hope it is the motor mounts!

Surprised you didn't get it from GL in Richmond! Welcome to the site and the addiction!:)

I will do that! Thanks! I know it isn't the junk in the truck as I removed everything from it one time just to be sure. I haven't checked the motor mounts. Is there an easy way to replace them? I chained up my Mercedes 300sd's motor and lifted (gently) with a forklift to replace the motor...
