Doesnt your 109 box have the 2 or 3 24v lights (the ones down the center of the box roof) that run off the batteries? Or were you looking for an inverter to run the other 5 white 120v lights when not connected to shore power?

its reusable, but they are also cheap so it never hurts to replace them while your at it-I think I paid $12 for a set from Erics. they are thick buggers, probably a good 1/4". I didnt see anything in the TM about using sealant but I did put some on the valve cover just to help hold the gasket in...

I think their is an inverter just for the vent fan so you wouldnt want to run anything else off of it. The inverter is inside the largest box that has all the heater/vent fan switches on it. The 4 pin connector is for a shore power cable. The cable would connect to a outside power source...

primer thinner How did you thin the rustoleum rusty metal primer for spray through your spray gun? The can just says use acetone to thin if needed. Did you do a 1:1 mix or 2:1, something else? Thanks

Thanks guys. There arent any extra outlets or wires in the box other the standard power strips. Although there are 1 or 2 ground fault outlets that the airforce must have installed, not sure if those are typical with the older m109s or not. I havent gotten around to opening up any of the...

Ive got an 88 m109a3 and am trying to figure out what I've got here? This is the 4 pin power cord plug/receptacle coming off my box. All the other 109 units I've seen have a 2 pin. Does anyone know why & when they changed over to this 4 pin style? I'll probably be converting it all to...

I'm a little new to the deuce world and am having trouble finding the TM for replacing the valve cover gaskets on my M109a3 LDT465. I know this is probably super easy but for once I decided I had better read the directions so I dont take anything for granted. Basically wondering if there is...

Katahdin, Thanks for the info also. Good to know about the spray cans distorting the coating as chances are I'll probably want to paint right after primer is ready. So you use the valspar restoration hardener with the Gillespie paint? Just following the hardener directions I imagine...

Kenny, Thanks for the info. I have a harbor freight HVLP gun as well (in fact i was just at HF over lunch today getting a texture gun to use to spray bedliner on the bottom of the truck as a rustproofer eventually). Is it wise to have seperate guns for primer and paint? Whats the reason?

Thanks Kenny! You are probably right about the primer. For the cost of it I may as well. And the Rustoleum rusty metal primer is easy to find/inexpensive. What did you do for prep on your truck before shooting the primer?

Hi All, I'm going to be repainting my m109 and wanted some advice. I'm first going to prep the roof of the van box and coat it with Herculiner truck bed coating to help prevent/fix any small leaks. I'll then fix the few surface rust spots. I'd like to do a nice job for under $200 of materials...

Sorry Gimpyrob, I didnt think I could post in the classifieds without having 100 posts. SCSG-G4, thanks for the tip!

I need a blackout window cover for one of the side windows on my m109a3 / m109 . Anyone have one they want to sell or know of a reasonably priced place to get one at? Thanks in advance!

thanks for the suggestions. If I come up with something and/or modify someone else's work i'll be happy to share it. Thanks

Thanks there General! If No one has a model and I end up starting from scratch this will be an excellent start to get the basic form. I wont need anything too detailed anyway, just want the basics. There always seems to be some guy with every hobby though that has spent the time to go overboard...

Hi Guys, I know this thread will only be of interest to a very few people but I was just wondering if any of the other tech geeks or office dwellers here have ever found or drawn a 3D Cad model of the deuce. I dont own a deuce yet or i'd draw one myself. I'm trying to get a model of...

Karl- sorry about that, I'm the guy you were bidding against....I was a little relieved you put that last bid in at the end as it was well over what I had planned on spending going into it:) But Im a little sad even though I saved a ton of money by loosing that I still have no truck:) You...

I previewed them. The only one in my mind that was a nice truck was the 7402. It was actually an 85 and little to no rust/good brakes. I bid on it but I thought it got to hight. Everything else was very rusted or had no breaks.

Thanks for the info! Also I forgot to add the data plate picture. Can anyone decipher the mfg year from this plate? (Its pretty faded) The owner said it was a '73, but he also said it was a m109a2...

Hello all, new guy here. I went to check out a M109A3 that some guy was selling locally. He says he bought it 3 years ago from a outfit in Wisconsin that buys these direct from GL and then resells them. In any event I was confused because the dataplate on the dash says M109A3 but the engine is...
