Hahahahaha I understand now! If Pennsylvania doesn't like the truck, I'll find it a home in Ohio. I got plenty of people here who would like a nice truck.

Gap truck? Sorry I ain't got no idea on PA terms. I'm waiting on Officer Friendly to tell me I don't have license plate lights

1GCGD for me.

Guys, my M1008 has the plate on the cab, says M1008. It also has the helper springs on the rear. I thought all 1 tons had helpers. No helper springs means it's a 3/4 ton where I come from. I bought a 10k gvw truck from my uncle years ago, a GMC Sierra 35 (1975 vintage) that had springs that...

Check the return fitting in the top of the pump, mine had similar symptoms. It was plugged pretty good. Compressed air and brake cleaner are your friends

Good point. Thank you Sir. But you never know what the good people at the Fire Department fixed when they had the truck. I should check mine out and see what it looks like. That being said, I need to cut some wires out of mine as soon as it warms up out there.

86k5, is there any chance that the studs are screwed down into the intake too far? Can you grab them with vise grips and screw them up any higher?

Well I am glad she went to a good home. Good luck Corvette9! Take plenty of pics!

Mine was pretty noisy at idle, but as soon as it was off idle it was (quiet?) (not as loud?) After closer inspection, there were 2 loose bolts in the power steering pump bracket. Fixed quickly. All better. Then the pump itself fell off the bracket, 1 bolt broke off, 2 were missing entirely. It...

I have a pair of 5 ton shackles on my M1008, they look and fit nice. Bought them from the classifieds here. Faster, cheaper, and easier than a fabrication. Someone might have some at the Findlay meet, Maybe????

Glaser06, what trailer is that? I have an M101A3 that was slightly unruly with my C20 but is pretty cooperative behind the M1008

My 2 cents here. While the batteries were unhooked, I would remove that thing and all wires connected or hooked to it. I have seen things like this before, and I wouldn't trust anything wired into that, whatever it is. Do yourself a favor, make that go away. If you want an outlet for a...

Charged both batteries, fired up like a champ. We have had 2 months of cold and crappy here. After idling for 45 minutes I drove it around in the country for 20 minutes. Almost forgot how enjoyable it is to drive the old thing.

sorry please delete

SgtDave, I see the window is rolled down, is the old girl making so much heat you're trying to melt the snow as well as move it? Also, you have a Kubelwagen? I would love to see pics of THAT please!

I have one of antennaclimber's cards and I have to say that you can't go wrong. Supporting one of our members who employs veterans? I hope that's a no brainer

Thanks for reminding me, Doug, sending you a pm

I talked my auto insurance agent and his brother into picking mine up and delivering it to my work. It cost me $60 in fuel and lunch at Bob Evans ($50?). Maybe 180 mile round trip. Popped a brake line loading the M1008 on the trailer. Probably the best money I ever spent. Don't let me...

Welcome! If you messed with Humvees then (so I'm told) cucv's should be easy. The tech I work next to says he preferred the leftover cucv's to the humvees they had where he was stationed. I know NOTHING about humvees, except I drove an H1 twice. It was fun. It wanted me to squish things...

Well at least if you've had old British cars you should be familiar with swapping out electrical components [thumbzup] Oops guess I waited too long to post THAT
