  1. Third From Texas

    New owner of a M 1084

    Good looking truck (and dawg) ! I modified one of those folding dog ramps my neighbor gave me to attach to the toolbox/step. Then I eventually added some folding feet to the ground end to reduce the angle of incline. I still need to add some carpet or something as my girl can't dig her nails...

    Anyone ever use Duplicolor vinyl paint?

    I thought about you the other day. I was just finishing getting setup in the sand and two very definite college aged "10's" came over to look at the truck. I didn't have my phone handy at the time, and knew that I had failed my mission when they never strolled back over to ask for a ride. ;)

    Anyone ever use Duplicolor vinyl paint?

    The heat won't break in Texas until our winter (aka: the month of February). :)

    need electric schematic for M1084 A0

    I was thinking a simple 24v to 12v step down would do the job. I guess price would be determined by how many amps you needed for that run. https://www.amazon.com/EPBOWPT-Converter-Regulator-Voltage-Transformer/dp/B07V6X6L89 They appear to be about $10 for every 10amps.

    need electric schematic for M1084 A0

    Example: "Refurbished" LMTV dual voltage alt on BEay = $2000 New N1307 = $300 Step down= $10

    need electric schematic for M1084 A0

    Good time to slap a 200-300amp 24v alt on there. And then a step down for the 12v. Be a crap-ton cheaper than a used surplus 12/24v dual voltage. Assuming that the alt is the issue. There are tons of HD high-output alts at there in the civilian/commercial world. Here are some ideas on what...

    Found a new website for cab sound proofing

    Here's the OEM mat (as best I can tell): https://cabinsulation.com/floormats.html?fbclid=IwAR0YGDOAP2ngF-XCVPuOW9y5RiwF4T-FEEE84KZCbdJ472OAKdWYvUJP0bI

    My $15,000 Beer Cooler

    I picked up one of those blood coolers at auction a few months back. Got it for a steal (they've gotten stupid expensive lately). I knew it was too large to really incorporate into my build, but I wanted it for the M1082 trailer (it's my "platform" to sit in the shade and watch bikinis...

    Another Nice Build

    Some nice stuff in this build. Maybe I'm ignorant of the ways of the world, but does that subframe system (see very end of video) seem to be all over the place at the slightest bump? I'd almost be afraid of what that would do in a gusty crosswind going down the highway. I wonder if it...

    Great Build Series

    I rarely subscribe to YouTube channels, but Neil's is full of awesome stuff. Here's his latest:

    Help finding parts for M1093

    A '95 would be an A0 so the image Ronmar posted would be yours. The later trucks like my A1R are totally different when it comes to electronics.

    Ether bottle stuck

    Well that and either is HIGHLY combustible/explosive. Pretty sure the related comments were understood as being in jest. :) And the tank is full, he suspects. So breaking it off would also be a bit dangerous...

    Ether bottle stuck

    Seriously, I'd soak the fitting with PB Blaster or something. And yeah, absolutely outside in a good breeze. I doubt you will hurt the tank (the fitting would be more likely to break I would suspect).

    M1078A1 new to me ?

    Bryce is a young fellow who travels the country installing highspeed gears/lockers for folks. He's around here some but I always found him on the FB groups (back before I nuked FB). I've spoken with him a number of times on driveline issues and parts. There are other parts flippers and even a...
