    Is this a good deal?

    I agree, why inherit someone else's problems. Besides if he is parting out a truck with 20,000 miles on it there most be a lot wrong with it. The other thought would be to give him $500 for the whole truck for parts,

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    Have you had any snow worth playing in lately? When it does does come, I would love to see some action video on how well your blower works. Been contemplating on picking up a FLU and retrofitting a blower for it like you did. The County I work for has fourteen 911 communication tower sites, and...

    Lil help for a newcomber

    Make sure you fully charge and load test your batteries. Weak or bad batteries will cause a multitude of issues as your finding out now. Your relay may not be bad because you still had to jump it when testing, just saying test & check your batteries.

    M1008 dragged home today...

    Great price if it turns out to be minor repairs. The guy I was trying to deal with was a owner to an auto repair shop and it made me leery when he said he would not install the starter unless I committed to buying the truck. I thought to myself, what is he trying to hide? Go figure. I guess ill...

    M1008 dragged home today...

    How did Mike treat your wallet. I had one on the hook up hear that wasn't running and he wanted a running price "4k". The guy said its the starter and he has a new one for it but never bothered to install it. I told him I wouldn't buy a truck unless I heard it run; he wouldn't budge.

    Wish your M1008 would turn like an M1009?

    Its no longer a 1008; You may want to call that a 1007:5 or a 1007 & 1/2.

    CUCV Snow Plow Trucks and Spreaders

    What are the LED plow lights retailing for? I'm waiting for the LED truck-lite headlight prices to fall some before I buy. I love how they look on your Mule.

    Alternator alignment adjustment

    I noticed my passenger side pulley is slightly out of alinement also. Tried to shim it with a washer but didn't help much. I put new belts on 5 years ago and they haven't giving me a bit of trouble nor are they wearing oddly. As far as the squealing, you have to have them real tight or try some...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Ideas for new threads; "What's the name of your Trucks". Or when you reference your trucks are they "Male or Female"? And those that don't have a name as of yet we can start a thread "Name that Truck"

    Welcome from across the pond. Great looking project. Are the 1009s hard to find there or pretty common? You will find a trove of info here at SS and the way your project looks I'm sure you'll be adding some of your own.

    Speed vs RPM for the M1009 6.2 diesel?

    You can run 70-80 all day long and the 1009 wont miss a beet. But the constant engine drone will wear you down. Music filled headphones are your friend.

    And hey that saw will cut them ties without a problem. And you could do it wearing a 3 piece suit and not get dirty. And he doesn't even have to climb in the truck.
