    New M1009 owner with TN title question

    Search the TN DMV website and print off the tag weight requirements that match your truck, go back in to a different clerk and show her the tag requirement and listed weight of you 1009. Should have no problem since it already has a title for transfer. I could see an issue if KY titled it as...

    New M1009 owner with TN title question

    At you using it daily? I have my 1984 5 ton registered as classic in Murfreesboro. That would take care of your problem if you don't drive it daily. Also try going back to a new DMV rep, I had some initial issues that were quickly resolved with a different rep. Also I didn't realize the...

    Plates and insurance?

    M923A1 I have antique plates listed as a pick up body $30 a year. Liability insurance cost $200 a year with Allstate. I had to get my SF-97 title form in hand before DMV would title it, had to have Title in hand before insurance would cover it. This was a GL truck, if your buying a personal...

    M923 Trans question

    My M923A1 has a warning painted on the windshield and a lock out on my shifter. I dont believe it will explode the instant you place it in low reverse, I think it drives the pressure up when you hit the gas and any kind of load or hitting the gas is more than it can handle in low reverse. Then...

    Why M939A0 and M939A1?

    having a few thousand miles on my M923A1 now, I can see why a lot of young men had accidents. I have significant prior expeience with dump trucks and heavy equipment and the 5 ton with sigles still makes me a bit nervous. I had a stop light turn a little fast and had to jam on the breaks which...

    What's your Deuces' name?

    I named my M923A1 "The Peacemaker" because when you drive down the road everyone waves and smile. Truckers, Bikers, RV's, Soccer Mom's, you name it. Ordinarily these drivers don't get along when their on the hwy.

    What do your neighbors and other drivers think of your CUCV

    My Neighbor hood kids love it and like to ride in the 5 Ton, as for the adults, I get asked if I am prepping for dooms day. I always tell them if dooms day hits I'm parking the truck in their yard so folks will come to them and leave me alone. If SHTF I don't want to be noticed so the first...

    Blown ABS ECU - how not to do that etc.

    Thank You, do you know if this has to be replaced or does it have a reset? I'm going home on lunch to check mine out to see if it's been activated. I'm pretty sure I did an incorrect shutdown once.

    Blown ABS ECU - how not to do that etc.

    Where is the protective control box? I'm pretty sure I have used my one life and the next mistake will be expensive. Would like to look at the PCB to reset the safety.

    First Short Drive in my New M923

    NHC 250 w/Allison 5 in mine, It down shifts just like you describe. I have the 14R20 tires and I don't feel they are too much of a drain on power though I would not go any bigger with the NHC250. I have an extra 6 super single tires and rims (2000 lbs roughly) in the bed and that has...

    Tennessee Members, sign in.

    Hi Dwight, I am waiting to hear back from Gary Henderson of the Knoxville MV club on the rate. I do know it is $120 per cabin, now I am confirming if it is per night or $120 for the weekend. Also I have asked tennmogger about food to see if we need money for a mess tent or if we need...

    Anyone ever found this in your radiator????

    I wonder if that was some sort of spot leak sealer that went wrong. Perhaps it was put in to stop a leak but not allowed to run long enough and solidified. What ever it is its nasty, I hope your able to flush it out.

    Trouble in Iowa with titles

    do any of you wonder why folks go nuts? I'm starting to side with the guy who armored his bulldozer and drove through the business of every person who ever done him wrong (forturnatley no one was killed). I wouldn't let this stuff get me fired up if the DMV folks had a "can do" attitude...

    Who has experience with Goodyear 1600r20's?

    my 14R20s have some balance issues but on my 5 ton you don't notice it much because of how heavy the truck is. I'm not sure how heavy your truck is but looking at it, I think any balance issues will be a big deal for you at hwy speeds. I'll be following this thread to see what others are doing...

    GL new website

    I didn't see the changes until I logged in. Not to bid of a change, I think I'll manage. Now if I can get my invoice for the tires I won yesterday. Yeah!
