Thanks for the info. I'll do a little more research and pick one out shortly. I have a big fear of engine fires after my dad told me a story how a fuel line on one of his muscle cars back in the 60's decided to split open over a nice hot engine. Fortunately, he was at a light next to a gas...
Glad someone point that out. It seems that most people are unaware in the difference in cargo capacity off-road vs. on-road.
Someone should make up a shirt that says "My Deuce Carries 5 Tons, Ask Me How." I'm just nerdy enough to wear it!
I have a U.S. Gov't Property marked one in the bracket. I like the originality. I "borrowed" another original one from my dad, but he now wants it back. From what I've read about halon I'm not sure I'd use that one anyhow. I will be getting a good quality new one shortly, and yes, I will be...
My friend is refitting a F450 with a custom built bed for his tree company. When he saw the extinguisher mounted on the floor of my M1009 he pulled out the DOT checklist and pointed out that it met the requirement. I said "Cool" and never told him it was empty, ha! Oh, and I will be getting a...
I've never had problems with short test drives here either. It's one of the advantages of living in the sticks. Once I got mine fully tagged and insured I put alot of miles on it real quick. It really is hard to turn around and head back home.
The only thing I really hate is the price of...
I've got plug covers and I do have a receptacle, but one with the wrong wires. I've been trying to avoid splicing. I normally have no problem locating what I need. I think my Dad's 1009 might be missing a trailer plug real soon!
Or, I might have to check out Eriks. Thanks.
I have actively been trying to locate a 1009 vehicle side trailer plug receptacle for a while. It doesn't seem like a part that people part out. Pintle hitches, no prob. Plug covers, no prob. Plug with pigtails, problem. If anyone happens to have an extra, PLEASE, let me know!
Considering...
Nice truck and pretty wife! You're lucky on both of those! The only female I have been able to ride along on my test drives was my mother. In the end she thought it was fairly pleasant and "nothing like the deuce". (She really didn't like the Mother's Day ride along with the whistler turbo.)...
I know someone that has a few, had him give me a tutorial once last year. It's kinda an interesting machine, but didn't think it had much modern application. Glad someone is getting some use out of them.
I just finished this job myself last month. The TM, I believe, says to only lube the rollers and not the channel itself. When I disassembled it originally, the channel on the bottom of the glass and the short one on the door were gummed up with a heavy grease and lots of grit. In the end I...
Looks kinda like a shift knob from a M38, M38A1. The one on my pops M38A1 pulls off soo easy that most of the time he drives it with no knob at all and the knob just rolls around on the floor.
Welcome to the '09 club! You'll enjoy it for sure. As far as sand, I vaccume mine out and have grime and grit appear as soon as it goes out on the road. Also, don't forget to do the Doghead starter relay. Enjoy! :driver:
