Jason: OK, I see what the problem is. It won't show up as a valid VIN until I send the info to GL for the SF-97? In other words, the info on the SF-97 will determine how the VIN is listed in the state's records? At least the information from Carnac should verify the Serial and Registration...

Did that last night, GE! I am sure I am not first in line, and I would imagine he has other things to take care of in addition to offering this service. LC

She has some way of verifying a valid VIN number, I would assume she is tied into some master database. I went through the same process before with my other Deuce. LC

Carnac: Need some help please. M109A3 w/o W Serial #: 053210698 Registration number: 04A65671 NSN: 2320000771636 Where Bought: Camp Beauregard, LA Bumper #'s: All painted over I did find some paperwork dated 2005 that indicates it belonged to the 2228th MP Co. at Beauregard. Thanks, LC

Today I was trying to arrange for insurance coverage for my M109A3, but there is apparently a problem with the VIN number. I am pretty sure of the numbers, but not the year, so when the lady looked it up as a 1971, her system would not recognize the number. We tried going all the way back to...

This looks like it may be just what I need to do to get my M109 with. I have an old 3-wire extension cord about 50 feet in length, and an old trailer cable assembly. Cut in half I could get two 25-foot lengths, plus the additional length of the trailer cable should give me more than enough to...

Thanks, Ron. I was wondering about that, but thought it might be too easy an answer. I'll bring a spare set of filters just in case. I hope that's all it is, I really want to fix this thing up for camping! Brian LC

Hi everyone: Sorry if this has been done in another thread, I've searched but can't find any related topics. I posted in another thread about winning a M109 out of Pineville. Went to inspect it, everything looked OK to where I might want to consider driving it home. Then, I found an...

You can find GTA-9-1-185 here: http://www.nf6x.net/greentruck/gta9-1-185/gta9-1-185.pdf Looks like something I can use, being a Noobie and all.....:-P LC

Good idea. I will put that on my checklist. I thought I had verified that the clutch lever was disengaged, but it's possible I missed it. I'm still learning! LC

I had something of a similar problem this weekend after pulling down a tree for my GF's Dad. I was sure I had put the cab control into neutral, taking the winch off line completely. I had my GF's son verify that the winch was not spooling in. When I took off to get the truck outta the yard...

Well, it wasn't very comfortable, for sure, especially the last second or two....:) Will definitely be careful. Luckily there's lots of shade trees around in his yard. I just have to make sure I get it all out of the way. Gonna have lots of water and Gatorade/Powerade on hand. Can't wait...

About 3 weeks ago I went to Pineville to pick up a M101 trailer. It was a hot day, probably mid to high 90's. Cab was very hot, even with the front windows open. On the way back home, I touched the transfer case lever and I could only hold my hand on it for about 5 or 6 seconds. It was very...

GE: Thanks for pointing me to your this thread on your 109. My issues are very similar to the ones you have covered here. I'm hoping to have the truck here within a month and getting to work ASAP. Luckily, with cooler weather coming, I should be able to make more progress than if I were...

I'd rate that rant about a 7.5, needs more actual cussin'! LOL LC

From a purely technical perspective, a M36 with quad cab and a M109 box on the back sounds unbelievably sweet. I bet it would be awesome. But from a purists standpoint, I can see the argument against cutting and modding a rare MV. LC

I'm certainly no expert, but shouldn't it be the serial number in your first pic? LC

Well, this is confusing. Not meaning to hijack the thread, but...................My two trailers are data-plated as M101A2's, both have 5-lug hubs / axles, split ring rims, and neither has surge brakes. Is it possible to adapt surge brakes to these without changing the hubs or axles to 6 or...

This info is terrific. Going to have to study it, but I will probably have some questions by this weekend. Thanks for posting this up! LC

Well, I'd love to see pics of your modified system. I really want to start collecting and filtering some WMO, diesel is outrageously expensive. If I can cut my cost to 1/4 of what is currently is, I will be very happy. LC
