opps.....I remember you now, I guess that's what happens when you try to cram a mini rally into one hour lol. I was told by my PSG (SSG Gaither) that somebody outside of our group saw us help the WWII pilot when he fell and picked up our tab. Regardless, thank you never the less. edit: Sorry...

Thanks Ruppster, To bad you could not have made it out to Jimbo's BBQ when I visited the Tamps Clan last week.

As silly as it sounds about a year ago mine was locking up and I posted a thread about it too, lots of guys telling me to swap the switch out and such. Well before I did that I sprayed the key with a bit of WD-40 and slide the key in and out a couple of times, I have never had the problem since...

Thanks but your giving me way to much credit, it is a machine that stamps em out, its not like I sat around for hours cutting them out with a razor blade or anything. :D Dale

I'm just curious but wouldn't a M1008 with the lower gearing and Dana 60 axles make a better plow truck than a M1009?

Anyone ever give the new kid a piece of chalk and a hammer to have him check for soft spots on the track during maintenance day?

Don't forget these: chem light batteries, box of grid squares, "frequency" grease for the antennas, wave benders (lil plastic ball on top of antenna), ID-10- Tango (IDIOT), key to the drop zone, and for the new kid send em running off to find the PRC-E7 or E-8 which was later replaced by the...

Hahaha We should have had a PNW rally at the car show in Steilacoom park today, Scott even won an award, but I'll him tell us about that.

Here is a thought if you have the VIN post it on CARNAC's 2010 VIN info thread and find out where(unit) it came from.

I just returned home to Washington, thanks again guys for coming out to meet me on such short notice! PS current temp is 63 degrees with high of 70 today.

I was assigned to the 1-508th INF BN (A)(aka: Red Devils) which were part of the 173rd Infantry Brigade (Airborne) for the jump into Northern Iraq in March 2003. so I went with ABN173, I figured it would last ........you know we all see those guys that create a name like "deuce newbie" or...

The M1008 being in a National Guard unit most likely had an off-base HQ anyways which means anytime they went to a range or had to roll out the motor pool they were off-base.

check all the paper scraps/tickets/labels etc.....I bought two 6.2L's from GL that turned out to be 6.5's. You can use a 6.5L in a cucv but your going to have to swap some things like the exhaust manifold etc

Yes it is! I tried to chat with you but you dropped out of the chat room.....any luck with your M1008 yet?

Also check this thread out it has some useful info for new owners:http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/20600-faq-thread-cucvs.html

Welcome to the site, Check both of the batteries if one is low or dead you will get that symptom. -Dale

While visiting Tampa, I met up with some Florida Steel Soldiers:http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/53590-abn173-coming-tampa-bay.html We linked up at Jimbo's BBQ, while there an old timer fell and could not get up. My PSG and myself went over to help the guy, turns out he is a WWII...

Guys, I can't help but think of the WW II Pilot who fell in the restaurant. Cessnatwin I know you got their contact/ meet info. You guys should consider linking up with them and let them go for a spin in the MV's ......you know take them back to the old days so to speak. -Dale

Ok technically, I am a officer (CW2) but honestly I spent to much time enlisted Infantry to adjust to being a officer. In my mind I am still a grunt......well one that spends to much time behind a computer anyways. I went Warrant very late in my career in fact I was over 12 years active...

A Cut-off wheel is probably a better choice Scott, but if your into self punishment I can lend you a hand file.:D Also what are using for a gasket under the hard top? -Dale
