The interior look good to me just dirty. The dash is always bad. The exterior looks great. A camper build is what I would have done too.

I bid on that one too. I've owned them all I think except the M1010. Since I'm in Oregon and it's in NM I watched that good deal go. It does look nice, good luck with it.

So that is the reason for the "a" in "-1a", just injectors? I bought a LDS in the can years ago because it was super cheap. It was marked scrap...spun bearing, but it was complete. I thought I would move over parts to the rebuilt engine that were scavenged off it, like injectors and IP and after...

I read the whole thread and it might be in there somewhere, but what is the difference between the the LDS465-1 and the LDS465-1a? Is it only the 1 hole injectors? I have a 1a with no injectors and what looks like an old IP bolted loosely on a rebuilt engine.

I went and bypassed the FDC yesterday. I haven't ran the truck yet, due to it needing other issues resolved but it is getting closer. Thanks for the advice!

As a general rule do you guys do the bypass or do you leave it alone until you notice a problem? I just changed the oil and I was trying to detect any diesel smell, but could not. The oil looked to be a lighter weight than the oil I drained from my CUCV, which I also drained today. The lighter...

I lived through the gov crushing all those HMMWV's, but once all the waste was pointed out in crushing... we have GP selling. I agree it doesn't matter in the grand scheme, because everything is controlled one way or another. As an example every station selling diesel within 5miles my home sells...

I originally thought I would save these axles for my blazer, but for the way I drive and the offroading I do, I don't need them in it. I think the 10 bolts are strong enough for me. I also don't think the 6.2 makes more power than a 10 bolt can handle, especially in a M1009 kept stock. Which is...

I always had it in my mind that the m1031 had a limited slip in there. I'm not sure why I thought that. Bearing cage is what I thought too, I just haven't seen one trashed before. Somebody must have drove it awhile after they knew it was bad. They blew up the engine too. I'm wondering if the...

I'm intending to sell the axles out of a M1031. I took off the covers to see how they looked and the front was open where I expected a limited slip and it was dry. The rear was full of metal on the magnet and I'll post a picture. I bought this residue from Ft Lewis WA a few years back. I was at...

I'm not trying to convince anyone not to buy from GP on this forum or anywhere else. I'm just saying they are a business that could improve their bottom line and improve their customer service at the same time. I had less than a good experience the 1st time with GP, I'm hoping my next one is...

I agree with "if you don't like it don't buy it", but since they have the contract, which gives them a monopoly, our choices are few. They have not yet become customer friendly, in my experience, and I don't hold out much hope. When these HMMWV's 1st came out they went for huge money. That...

The volkswagon beetle was the car for the masses, but it wasn't for me, the masses can have it.

If you can't test drive it, it should be considered a parts vehicle and sold as such. When you drive the 250 miles and it won't start and the seller says the flex plate is gone but it did start the last time I tried it. You know what has happened to you...

I have the tan tow bar and want to get the feet that were made for it. Anyone with pictures of those feet?

I don't have much experience with trucks larger than a pickup, so telling when you have correctly adjusted your bearings is difficult for me and I'll have to drive the truck to see if excessive heat is generated. I believe I have an idea why my axle was leaking. I remember when I removed the...

Where can you get those feet?

it is a military seal, I believe. The reason I think this is the case is because the brakes are new, some of the tires are new with the nubs, and the rest are like new. It also would make sense that new seals would be installed.

My truck sat a very long time for reasons I won't get into now, but new seals were installed along with brakes and tires, grease and gear oil were changed. I dismantled the leaking hub and can find nothing wrong. The seal that was apparently leaking looks good. There was a cork wedge in the...

Figured it out.... I jacked up only one side and that created the bind. Once I jacked up the other wheel the shaft came out. I hope my experience may benefit somebody else that reads this.
