Sorry, 1984 M1009 are reare, 1985 and 1986 models are more common. A Iltis is Germany goes according to condition from 2000 Euro, good ones are from 5000 Euros, perfect ones sometimes are over 10000 Euros. But the market is decreasing, no more surplus. The German Army is out of stock. And how...

A stripped M1008 should be at 2750 kg incliuding a 75 kg driver. Lower curb weights according to my experiance barely should not be possible. Wolf motor vehicle expert

The shown rim for shure is NOT a military rim. It looks like an aftermaket type for what purpose soever. I do not recommend to use them. WOLF

At first: Merry Chritmas! Gun Trucks/Gun Ships:How about a photo of a APC proto which due to the law was cut and later rebeefed to the original by plywood.

If you need infos for Germany I can help you. In Carolina this vehicle should be vintage vehicle. Wolf from Germany

Two things: First: The truck was not heavy enough to really make the car flat. A minimum of 2 tons of load is missing. Second: for me ist was a misuse of a Deuce. We, if in the truck scene, all do know, which harm a truck can do to a passenger car. From the second point of view this video is...

12/20/208 Hey guys, I tried to read all of the posts. Would be nice for me to join with my M715 with M101A1 trailer and also bring my DKW Sport 250 of 1938. However, there is a big obstacle in between:the Atlantic river. Sorry I can not join! Wolf from Germany

Did not work the first time, did something wrong! Here are the pics!

Nice job! Where are the engine room pics? Some pics of my M715. Wolf

Gen Problems After 14 years of playing with a M1009 I learned about these problems. Gen 1: The black one is the ground. Must be properly tied to the ground. And I mean realy MUST. The red one is B+ - Batterie plus 12 Volts, should read at least when running 12.8 V, normally allmost 15 V. The...

To my understanding this should not be neccessary. May bee it helps for easy access. I replaced a fuel pump on a M1009 with installed engine which according to the manual is not possible. Good luck! Wolf

Gun trucks of NAM To my understanding (I read all the posts befor writing this) you have two choises as anyone of the MV collectors. You go after an original. Then you have to follow the details to the last nut and bolt. Howerver, this is allmost impossible due to lac of information and...

In Germany we do something simple: we go to the next Siemens VDO tachometer / Tachographshop and get a new one made for relatively little money. The Speedometercabel for my converted M715 was about 30 Euro, which is arround 40$. Wolf

Accordig to the manuales this truck should not have a crew cab for 10 persons. Else it is a bridge truck from WWII supposed to carry pontons or bridge elements. But it will with the standard platforn size also carry a halftruck. The Scania engine is not a bad choise for the original engine can...

Ey, Schmitchens Spielwiese ist vorbei für dieses Jahr. Ich war da!Vielleicht naechstes Jahr wieder. Anyway, also for the rest of the world: Saumur did change a lot since 1980, when I was the first time there. Luckily by that time I had the change to drive this or that vehicle by myself. And...

To drain the trans it is the most easy way to drill a hole in the oil pan and let the oil run into a somewhat siutable container. This procedure is standard for the US Army for surplus vehicles since at least 10 years in Europe. For the transfer they usually take out the drain plug to bleed it...

To my oppinion two possibilities: First (due to white smoke): The charging pump is not filling the injectors propperly, therefor no sufficiant fuel injection at the required pressure. Second: Engine kill is not going back automatically the the normal position. Manual help required for that or...

Hey, did you check the trans oil level? The Army has to drain the due to the environment policy. However, you have to check the fitting of the trans oil pan. If not fixed propperly, you need a 10 mm nut to fix the bolts to the propper torque. Check the presance of the coark seal. If missing your...

Tires and more Hey guys, there are some things to care for with tire change. And dealers most of the time know about these things. First: Tire age: As mentioned above there is a code on each tire built after 1980. First they used a 3 digit number, the last three of the DOT number, These...
