    Noise at very low speed

    I still haven’t got my SF97 either. , I do all my driving at O-dark 30. But I live in a fairly rural area. I thought I had huge suspension issues , at above 40 it felt like the wheels were going to fall off. Everything shook like I owed it money. A new set of csm tires and dumping those run...

    What engine can i use?

    I had a friend that had a V8 (gas) in an M-211. I think it was a 455 from some Cadillac , only had a few thousand Miles and had better top end but no low end tork. After checking the motor I found you could slide the crank about 3/8 of an inch in and out. the main “thrust” bearings were totally...

    New to this... 1952 Studebaker 6x6 M35, need good advice!

    Don’t put “gas” in the truck !🤯 it won’t last. It’s designed for diesel fuel “but” can run on other types of fuel , that is in case of AN EMERGENCY ! It’s your truck. Do as it as you want. There are LOTS of posts here on using waste oil an such. Also DON’T use either when trying to start. You...

    MEP-803A Hole Drilled in Fuel Tank from GovPlanet

    Gvmnt efficiency at its finest , how low on the IQ table are you when your drilling holes in fuel tanks ? I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that “person” isn’t long for this life. I’m just spitballing here but using an electric drill to make holes in fuel/gas tanks isn’t conducive to longevity. 🤔

    M1009 Crash/Rebuild

    You can replace all the broken /bent stuff , easy way to tell would be if nothing will align , door , hood etc. even now if looking at the passenger door , is the gap between the door and fender bigger ? Just shimming the crap out of everything will not fix the bent frame

    M1009 Crash/Rebuild

    Take it to the frame shop. May have some real issues. Bent frame , diff , leaf springs. cracked transfer case ya know. Stuff like that. The fender , hood , inner fender , well are nothing compared the bent frame or main body mounts that are bent. 😞.

    Flip a switch to use gas?

    Don’t let these guys fool ya. There’s a small switch under the truck just above the transfer case so you can use gas. It activates the catalytic converters in the turbo. Also there’s a lever to be able to generate the 1.21 gigawatts to power the flux capacitor. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    If you could find some bumper numbers and post them there might be someone here able to figure out what unit it was in.

    DOOR LOGOS, As anyone seen them on these trucks?

    Helmet tops @ Lytle

    You can’t stack them like that if the B pillar is still in place. I’m sure someone was looking how to save space and had this cool new sawzall to play with. 🪚

    Sf97 latest time frame

    It’s the government , NOTHING moves fast on any level. Ask any street level gvmt official. (Cop) , get arrested and see how fast the wheels spin or ask anyone who was military. Slow as crap and no one gives a crap. Complain and see how much faster it goes. (I pay you salary !) , you go straight...
