Latest update, My brother told me that someone from the DMV in Sacramento left a message saying that he will be recieving the neccessary forms in the mail to obtain title.

If you're talking about a Humvee, I have been told that you need a 3" lift to run 42" tall tires. I wasen't told the max width unfortunatly for this size tire to work without touching, but the first place that you will probably have contact is at the front footwell area when you make a sharp...

There is a company called "Red Dot" that makes A/C units for all sorts of vehicular applications, they make them for on and off road usage and sometimes even have them in 24 volt as well as 12 volt. I have no affiliation in this company, but I am looking at ways to install A/C in my Humvee.

Latest Update: My brother did recieve a call back from the DMV person in Sacramento and was told that there has to be a form 97 to show that the Govt. released the vehicle. The person even read off the number of a section of a federal code that said that the form 97 must be presented. My brother...

Blackfoot, My insurance agent has never said anything to me about any issues when I add another CUCV to my policy, but you might tell your agent that your Blazer is a 3/4 ton model and it has a heavy duty Diesel engine, which might account for some minor differences in the vin number. I have...

The main sticking issues that my brother is having or that I think he is having, since he starts yelling and foaming at the mouth when I ask him about it, is that the DMV comes up with nothing when they punch in the vin numbers and they are not shure that the vehicle was actually released by the...

I have a truck just like M109, but I thought mine had a NP 203 transfer case. I have never dirven my truck other than to drive it home. It is a future project. I will have to check on the T case soon though or I won't sleep easy. As Elwenil said, it was an USAF truck and is that dark blue...

Definitly getting out of the built up city areas is a good idea. My brother went north to Petaluma, I guess it's not far out enough anymore. I'll tell him to go farther out. Thanks

My brother recently bought a M1009 from Gov. Liquidation and of course, it did not come with the form 97. It was stated in the auction so it was no suprise. When My brother went to the DMV with his "paid in full invoice" from GL, which had the VIN number printed on it, the DMV said that that...

An M1009 won't fit on U hauls dollies because of the wide wheels. An M1008 will, but the locking hub part will rub on the plastic fenders of the tow dolly.I have towed both with the U haul and I brought along some wheels from my Jeep truck to put on the front of the Blazer so I would fit. Now I...

Wow! That's dastardly and diabolical. That SF Form 97 was printed up by the DRMO before they even offered the vehicle to law enforcement and museums. That's way before GL was even in the picture and it can't be used without the associated vehicle if it has a vin number typed on it. For a while...

emmado22, I might have that door. I was digging around the other day and I found a door. I remember taking off the tall left door a year ago, so that must be it. I'll look at it again this weekend to be shure. I think it is slightly bent. If you want It, you can have it for free. I think...

I was never a fan of the surge brake either, but i like them better than no brakes. Does anyone know of a electric unit that will interface with the hydraulic brakes on the service brake equiped M101's?

Could someone in the past have replaced the #2 alt and mixed up the wiring on it?

It is made by a company called Hagglunds. I think they are from Sweden. These are powered by an inline six cylinder mercedes engine and I think an auto trans. The rear trailer unit is powered via a drive shaft setup that exits the rear of the tractor unit.

Hopefully you just need new head gaskets and no bottom end work. Don't forget that the head bolts are one time use items so buy new ones. Maybe the hammering was because of coolant being sucked into the cylinder and causing a liquid lock situation. You might try draining the coolant from the...

Sorry, but the door is already gone.

Dang! I just chopped up the aluminum body and took most of it to the scrapper. I got $350 for it. I did keep the rear doors that have George W Bush Diesel and Truck Repair stenciled on them and I still have the Generator/Welder with the four Cyl Wisconsin engine in their cradle and the part of...

Why can't a Hydroboost from an M1008 work on an M1009?

I found it! It was in a safe place where it would not get easily lost and aparently easily found. The kit has three O rings, two cone fittings for the for the hydraulic hose sockets, a large and small seal both of whitch do not have any metal part to them, an O ring that has sort of a shape to...
