Stephen, I had to sell mine due some drunk kid crashing into mine two weeks before I had to PCS across the country. (see link: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/29528-accident.html) I had sellers remorse big time and I had to replace it as soon as I got up here to FT Lewis. I know what a...

cjtroutt, By the way, it was great that you helped a couple of soldiers in need! Dale

(I hope you don't mind I did Quote you though PB:D) I'm no English Major myself, in fact I'm just a 11B that somehow got selected to be a Warrant Officer(still trying to figure out how that happened:mrgreen:) , Heck I just have a GED instead of HS diploma. Anyways I'm going to let you all...

Congressmen should not be the first resort, you have tried to work it out so it came to this. My hats off to you, please keep us posted.

Nice!

I needed to make a few stencils at work and somehow a few extra came out.....wierd how that happens. My PLT was released for the day so I did this on my own time.

Stencils Here you go Scotty! 2" unit markings and 1" for the TP/diesel. 5 minutes and a rattle can and she will be up to spec

Can't you just resize them as any other photo? BTW if you have Microsoft Office Power Point, you can just insert the picture, then click it and drag the corner to make it smaller and they will post then. -Dale

:ditto: Thanks for all your help CARNAC

Keep at em, I say. I think in this situation you will come out on top. I think this is an attempt on their part to add additional pressures on your Dad to fix the problem and pay them. Not saying its right but it sounds like that is what they are doing. Good Luck, Dale

M1008's were gearded lower for towing, while M1009's were geared for higher speeds. I travel at 60-65 in my M1008 daily without issues, but that is about the limit.

Scott's dad replaced all the slats with new wood so there is no paint to be "eaten" Thanks for the advice though, On my cucv I just ran over the slats with a hand planer and problem solved.

PICS Scotty PICS

Scotty, they just CARC'd everything. You could rough up any smooth portions to ensure your carc substitute will hold.

sure they do just use WD-40......... (windows down and drive 40 or better)

jrajc, You have to put this in a different perspective. These trucks were bought almost as COS (Commercial off the Shelf) in an effort to save save the military money, which they did very well. Yes the 6.2L is strong, economic engine. Yes a bit underpowered but it did what it was supposed...

I paid $3800 for my first M1009 (private sale) it had a 6" lift and HMMWV tires on it. I also paid just over 2k for my M1008 off of GL. I think if the guy has done all the work he claims your truck is worth the asking price. When it comes to the 6k and higher prices you see from time to...

Anyone else notice they are only on the driver's side?

Perhaps Scott can, he was telling me that he had repair/re-weld a few of them. -Dale
