    Empty from CO to Barstow and back

    I'm going to be picking up my third M1009 and will be going from Colorado Springs to Barstow with an empty truck and towbar-ing the '09 back in the middle of May. If anyone needs something hauled there or items that will fit in a truck bed or Blazer brought back, let me know and we can work...

    No Juice

    I thought the 1010s had two 100 (or 200) amp alternators mounted on the passenger's side with a big voltage regulator mounted on the driver's inner fender. That regulator is what I hear is the problem. Later, Joe

    M1008 stalling after 2 or 3 seconds

    I just disconnect the GPR and use a little (emphasis on little) ether. That will get the pump spinning fast enough to flush out the air. Of course, the first thing you should do is take the pink wire off the IP and crank it until the filter is bled, that will keep excess air out of the HP...

    Towing an M1008

    Probably not. Civilian tow bars have their own connection points that you have to install on the vehicle. In addition, as stated before, they are not all rated to tow a full size truck so make sure your bar has the capacity required. Later, Joe

    GL paint marker remover?

    I use acetone for the paint marker and WD40 for the sticker goop. GooGone is also a really good choice for the sticker residue. Later, Joe
