RE: congrats on the great win!
Thanks guys. While I prefer not to bid and tell, I will tell you that it was very inexpensive compared to the 1008 prices I have been seeing for the last couple of years. There were a bunch that went off at the same time. That always helps to depress prices...
He guys,
I haven't had a CUCV for about 3 years now and have been missing it. Since my wife has a car and I drive a SUV, getting a truck was only natural. I am always needing to haul some truck parts, wood, mulch, trash, etc... and I hate junking up the Excursion or hooking up the trailer...
Cool. I used a good amount of Dawn in some water to make some tire lube to slide everything together easier. It also works to check for air leaks around the valve stem and clamp rings. Tire lube works great too. Lube up the o-rings to keep them from binding and to help them seal. The...
RE: new pics
Andy, that's a heck of a load for a dually! Did you run it across the scales? Glad you made it safe. I have a 5-ton rated trailer with electric brakes to pull it home behind my diesel Excursion if I have to.
Walter, I will get a hold of the GL guys to see if they have a...

RE: M809 Sprag Repair
Congrats! I am glad you figured it out. I wonder how many 809-series trucks are out there with the air lines switched. What a PITA. That's why I like an air-shift front end.
RE: M809 Sprag
I don't recall the size of the socket, Joe. I had to try several by feel before I could get the nut off. It was somewhere between 7/16" and 9/16" I believe.
:lol: Just kidding, Mark. I had one of those red tags on my XM818. It was just an ID tag with all of the trucks information on it from where it was turned in. I will try to find mine and get a picture of it for you. I know a good trucker that hauls out of VA if you plan on having it shipped...
