    cant start my m1031

    You are correct, but at that point my ignition was locked up and it was a shot in the dark before going to buy a new ignition switch. I had no transportation and it was all I had. That being said I did not spray a lot, I placed a very small amount on the key only......and it has been working...

    M1009 recovery with disastorous result

    I am glad it was not any worse. You can replace metal stuff.

    cant start my m1031

    Mine did the same thing. Everyone said I had to replace ignition switch. Before going to do that I just wanted to try something so I sprayed a bit of wd-40 on the key and inserted the key a few times then it turned like new again. Prior to this it had took me 25 minutes to get the key to turn...

    M715 in progress

    Placement is almost identical to what I had imagined, what I was unsure about was the many variations of actual unit markings. For example you could say 3rd INF DIV, 3D INF DIV, 3 ID, or 3D ID, they all mean the same thing. There is no clear definition of "right" when it comes to bumper...

    M715 in progress

    OK Aaron, after some review I think it should read as such: Front passenger side: 3D INF DIV 3D 65th INF Front Driver's side: M-6 (since he assumed role of Commander for M Company) Rear Driver's side: 3/65 INF (due to limited room on bumperettes) Rear passenger side: M-6 Without...

    Nice MKT Aaron! Do you have the burner units for the grill too?

    M715 in progress

    nevermind, after looking at your pics it will be a bit of both I think. I will make a couple of sets of stencils and you can pick.

    M715 in progress

    Very nice Aaron! where exactly are posting the markings? if possible post a pic of the areas. It makes a difference which method we choose for marking (expanded vs short) -Dale

    PNW-2010-Second Annual Chehalis River Valley MV Convoy/Camp-Out

    Jungle Hammock huh....that brings some unpleasant memories back, in early 1990 we were in the field and I was sleeping in my jungle hammock and somebody had a stun gun and thought it would be funny to give me a zap. Have you ever woke up from a dream suddenly because you dreamed you were...

    Did I just say that I would sell my 109?

    Whoa wait a minute, that's not the same one that you said you would sell to me for $1 when you drinking that night is it? jk I agree with Papabear don't do it

    Slave cable connector

    Sorry no pics Gimpy, but on a related note in OIF 1 I happened to be near the 1SG and he asked me to go over to the mechanics and get a slave cable from them to jump the CDR's vehicle off....this is where it gets not so funny Turns out the CDR liked to store is extra frag grenades in the battery...

    My M 1009 Problems!!! Cont..

    Its probably your starter/starter relay but I had a strange thing happen once that was similar:http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/28167-yikes-what.html That should be a 5 min check to see if it cranks when you remove it like mine did.

    srodocker's "little" project

    I was kidding before, but while not common back in Desert Storm you saw modifications done at the unit level to mount M2's and M60's onto M1008's. In fact we had a leased truck that we took the windshield out of and bolted a tripod to the hood so the TC could fire if needed.
