Thanks for all the advice yall, maybe i'll put some of it to use soon
Wreckerman it dosent come with a spare, I still don't know the tire size yet. I do know they are 395's but thats it. The owner informed me that he knew where a mounted spare was but hasn't gave me the contact information yet, he mentioned it was 300 bucks for rim and tire. Dosen't sound like too...
I didnt even think about belts, Thanks Roscoe!!!! that really hurt about the 3grand or less though. Didn't realize it was that big of a loss
But I really needed to get a slower toy, nothing better than that besides a deuce I guess. Actually planning on making it a daily driver after I make sure...
Hello all, Planning for my first Deuce recovery scheduled for next weekend 5/14/11.:jumpin:
The truck is located in Texarkana, TX so about 400 miles away. Planning on taking hwy 67 south to Little Rock and Interstate 30 on down. The owner says he drives it weekly so it's supposed to be in pretty...
I kind of figured any thing with the word Government in the title there would be some pain or hassle to deal with lol, But for the prices of the auctions I've been seeing, It might be worth a little hassle. Thanks for the info
Very Nice looking trucks!!! Nice price on yours ernie, I dont see a speck of rust on yours. And I'm sure it'd stand out with that shiny yellow paint job!! Ranchhopper got a question about GL, Are they fairly easy to deal with? Can anybody purchase from them?

Well I plan on the shop spraying the outside, but I plan on doing all the prep work myself, I figure it'd be alot cheaper if i just rolled the inside myself. The last time I checked I could get a gallon of linex for about 75 bucks,
I didnt know the glow plugs had a temp sender. I'm thinking the fire dept. were the ones that converted it to manual switch. Theres a selonoid wired up on the firewall that supplys the GP. This is the first diesel i've owned, but I've worked with detroits for the last 11 years. I've always loved...
About the gauges, I was planning on leaving the dummy lights as is and using mechanical gauges for the water temp and the trans temp, Not sure just yet where I can install the oil pressure sending unit, I'll be using electrical gauges on the pressure gauges, I've still got alot of studying to...
The glowplug thats stuck is on the passenger side in the very back(hardest one to get to!!), I soaked it with some PB Blaster and let it set over night, but it didnt do the trick. I didnt want to jack on it too hard fearing it would break off and I would have to pull the head, but I found out...
I found this 85 m1009 a couple weeks ago, I think it was a good deal for 1600 bucks.Odometer shows 32,000 miles, I had to replace 7 of the glow plugs. I'm having trouble getting the last one out, I dont know if its just carboned up or swelled as the other seven were not swelled. Also had to...
