The vest majority of the trucks do have the same key, unless it was changed out by the department, Army, Navy, USAF, etc.. You might want to invest in a steering wheel puller or rent one and take it with you along with a new ign cylinder. Just in case. Always think the worse and be happy when it...

:ditto: X2!! I got lucky on my recovery, it started within an hour. New filter, batts, fuel, etc. Also, If your trailer won't do the job, check out the car transporters from U-haul. Just make sure you get the latest and greatest trailer they just came out with. It will handle the 1009. The...

Prolly should have said 'stocking' supplier, sorry. I agree 100% about Memphis or most of the other big boys as far as the prices. The local price I was quoted was 'right around $20ea', with a minimum of 20 ordered at a time. Guess thats why only the big boys have them in stock. I can't see a...

Welcome to SS and OD addiction arron1009! :evil: That is one nice 09 there!! :drool::drool:

Lets see, Drivers License says 47, wife says 8...Whenever she says that, I call her a cradle robber as she's a year older than me....and yes, I have the clawmarks to prove it! Guess I like living dangerously!

Might want to take a look at the block with a known straight edge to see if it does needs machining. And as SouthDave said: use head studs. Good luck!

I tried the local filter gurus here yesterday. They took a look at the filter and liked to have died...brought back memories of riding in the back of a deuce 400 miles. Shrugged my shoulders and said driving them aint that fun either...kinda broke the tension. Back to the filter, Facet has...

Mine just started going off only on left turns and only when starting off. Never goes off when truckin down the road and making turns... Well, at least now I have a place to start looking. Tore the cab apart looking for the end of the wire and never thought to look at the of the steering box...

Welcome to SS and OD addiction Medic5050! GL is ok, just make sure you or someone you trust previews the item before you bid. Good Luck!

USAA and most all the big guys are notorious for using used parts for a fix. If they want to hem and haw, find an independent insurance appraiser/investigator. If USAA doesnt want to co-operate, have them write up the claim, to get what you NEED to repair said damage. When an insurance...

:not worthy::not worthy::not worthy: That was good PB, REAL GOOD!! Like a 'snorted all the coffee in my mouth out my nose good' !!!

:ditto: Also, while checking, you might want to blue locktite them...

Sounds like a real good idea, until you put the 80PSI in there. At 80 PSI, you would have 55 gallons of WMO all over the place. Drums are not designed for that type of pressure.

Looks like a good one there 91W350. A little TLC and youll have one bang up '09! Is that a hole in the hood on the pass side? what was that for? Thanks for posting the pics!

I know and agree with the getting grey part (or no hair - LOL!), kids have a tendency to do that! Thanks for sharing and glad that all went well on your recovery! Pics would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to SS and OD addiction bobby, and thank you for your prior service! I'm sure someone will be along shortly to let you know where to buy a bobbed deuce, or, uh, 5tonner!! Good Luck!

How did the recovery go?

Excellent USAFSS-ColdWarrior! Glad that someone could give a helping hand in your recovery, without having to manually lift it. Hope all goes good for ya! Not a clue on a NOS kit for the gin pole setup, prolly would not be too hard to fab one though.

My Chief Engineer used to paint all of his, uh, vehicles (tanks) out of a 5 gallon bucket with a, you guessed it, mop. Was very common from what I have heard from him.
