This is the same reason why your rear tires will wear out much faster than the front; Detroit Locker!

Thanks to all--- great info here! For me, I only carry liability and un-insured motorist on my 1008 because I don't drive like an idiot. (over 40 yrs driving - never been at fault - no moving violations) And I figure that whoever causes the accident is either going to pay or I sue them into...

Thanks again Steve, somehow I guessed that old truck had a story to it and sure enough~~~!!![thumbzup] Hope to make a trek up your way sometime in future and see the museum... meanwhile--- kind regards and best of luck~!

Not to discourage you, but if you read the different car/truck forums out there about the many problems and issues that come with buying ANY model vehicle that is 20-PLUS years old, then you will have some idea of what you'll face when buying an M1009. Good luck - [thumbzup]

How 'bout a few pictures of that generator? The Crossely I'm reffering to is the UK car/truck maker from WWI era, believe they also made govt vehicles in WWII as well. Is your generator made in Great Britain? If so, would no doubt be a collector.[thumbzup]

Like the tank; like the girls! The little wife always likes to wear her Eva Longoria sleeve-less camo top whenever we go riding in CUCV... (now I just need to get her a pair of those knee-high black boots!) BTW: curious--- can you identify the old fliver parked behing you in the photos? WWI...

BRAVO!!!! The best invention since sliced bread! Now you can rent the tool out to friends and family and maybe make you money back!!!!rofl

Not a bad weekend at all! Like your winch setup and the price was right. But would like to maybe see the how/where details on that ARB compressor mounting. Your air tank looks good too. Are you planning on a future ARB air-locker?[thumbzup]

1. Don't know about eating of head gaskets as a specific Dexcool problem, can't imagine why it would destroy only head gasket maeterial. After all, there are much more easily corroded parts like rubber hoses, et., al., that are not affected by Dexcool. 2. I believe that Dexcool is Dexcool is...

Will is right; Dexcool doesn't mix well with anything. Before changing over to it, your cooling system needs to be flushed & cleaned like factory new--- and I'm not even sure THAT will prevent problems. Otherwise Dexcool turns itself into mud. Not trying to scare you unnecessarily, but I'll tell...

Yes--- of course! What was I thinking... (visions of Clint Eastwood riding his horse going around lighting sticks of dynamite, with his cigaro, and blowing up bad guys and stuff...):oops:

Hey, I'm with ya' on that "don't like... breakdowns..." My civi GMC C3500 w/BB radiator was re-cored for around $400 and I did the R&R myself, plus new GM water punp, plus new Hi-Miler Goodyear hoses and belts and AC-Delco fan thermostat---- kah-$HING! Bet I was well into $800 total...

Best bet=local radiator shop. Get reccomendations from guys you know in the area for who does good work. Anything you buy online is questionable (unless it cost an arm & a leg) and what are you going to do if after a few weeks your "brand new" radiator springs a leak? Pull it and ship it back to...

:shock:

Thanks for the offer Duffman, but I only just quite smoking cigarettes about a year ago... however, if by chance any particular cigar box were to be holding approximately four hundred and twenty cigars, why then I might be tempted...;-)

The question I have is what lurks inside your front hubs, suspension, et., al.,... 1. Condition of your tie-rods? 2. Condition of ball joints? 3. Wheel bearing adjustment? 4. What about the worm-gear-shaft adjustment on the steering box itself? High mileage steering box maybe? 5...

Agreed--- this problem I've never encountered and never heard of before. Are you seeing leaks from the PS box/pump? My 1008 does something unusual; if I turn the steering wheel from lock to lock while vehicle is rolling, when I apply the brakes the pedal goes WAY LOW before coming back up to...

Thanks for the great link--- in fact that dealer has tons of stuff I can use to fix my hillbilly-hacked GMC cviv. That truck is the C3500 fleet-type model and has A LOT of the same electricals as M1008. Looking in the old GM official manuals wasn't always a help because lots of stuff in the...

Miramar is an awesome show. Hoping maybe THIS YEAR we can attend. Don't believe my MV will be up-to-snuff for display but will sure look you guys up if we go. Last time I was there was sometime last millennium when my Dad lived in San Diego. He was/is a total Navy man and ex-carrier jock who...

Hey now! Great weekend--- took a little ride through Hundyland (Lucerne) Saturday on our way up HWY 18 for a quick trip to Big Bear. Went early to scout some wood-cutting areas but the main attraction was a concert at the Big Bear Discovery Center--- Jim Curry- John Denver Tribute--- awesome...
