JCease and I just returned Wednesday from a little adventure picking up my new M1009, and looking at one for him among the upcoming CUCVs. Our plan was to flat tow the truck home. Pickup was super easy. There was no real security, and Glen the GL employee was real laid back. I grilled him on...
I want to pick up a new set of batteries before I head up to pick up my M1009 this week, and was wondering what you guys would suggest. I am not stuck on getting the orginal 6TL batteries. What battery sizes work best, and what would be the minimum amps for each battery? I was looking at the...
I am flat towing a M1009 home this week about 200miles. I am wondering what is the best gear to put the transmission and transfer case in. I am dropping the rear driveshaft no question along with unlocking the front hubs. The TM says to drop the front driveshaft if towing over 50 miles. I...
I was wondering if anyone is near the Jacksonville, Fl. base that might be able to pickup an unexpected GL win. It should be shippable UPS with no real packing needed.
Thanks
I have been trying to find a decent break down of the good and bad qualities of the deuce by the different versions that were made. Which years are better, turbo or not, better engines, transmission, etc. I am sure my question has been answered before, but I have not found the magic search...
Just like the title says. It appears that GL is actively going out of there way to prevent the issuing of any sort of document that can be used to title any MV they sell. I was just told today that as a policy they are no longer providing the VIN on the BIll of Sale, and will not even provide it...
Hello,
I need to head up to Chambersburg, PA to pick up and item and to inspect some others. I was wondering when they usually try to set up thier appointments for? I realize this is an unmaned site where the guys work out of Mechanicsburg.
Thanks
This is last minute, but if anyone happens to be up there today doing inspections could you take a peek at the two 2-1/2Ton transmissions. I know the 19th is the only day to inspect some other items up there.

This is kind of a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone the Aberdeen, Md. Rally might be able to help me tow my M1009 home? I am in the situation where I won a M1009 Blazer up there, but I did not properly plan the getting it home part. I don’t really have a proper tow vehicle, and the time...
Check out this GL auction. http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=848145
Aren't planes like this mothballed for future use, and in otherwise operational shape? If so why the heck are they all being sold as scrap? Some of these could probably have civilian usages. Also they don't want...
Does anyone know of anyone with a M110 HOWITZER Tank either personally owned or museum owned I guess. I have set of NOS track shoes for the tracks on this vehicle that I would like to be put to good use. These are part number 11643271. I don’t know if any other vehicles use these.
I am doing the finishing touches on my tow bar for my Monday pickup of a M1009 at Aberdeen, and I wanted to verify the OD diameter of the hole for the recovery shackles? Also I was wondering what the diameter of the shackle pin is? From my quick measurements the OD of the hole is 1”, but I ran...
