    what unit does this belong to

    no, that would not be a factor. What does the right side say? If you have the VIN get CARNAC to run it and he can tell you some of the history on it. Here is the link: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/members-rides/33114-2009-vin-info-thread.html

    what unit does this belong to

    Left side shown is Arizona Army National Guard HHS= Headquarters and Headquarters Support Well my best guess anyway. Upper right (not shown very well) is likely the unit, just below looks like the bumper #

    PNW-2009-First Annual Chehalis River Valley MV Convoy

    Two more possibles: * One new MV owner from 1st SF group just picked up his 1st M1008 last week, he said he may attend. * Also SGM Garcia also from my unit (whom you guys met at the Stelicoom park get together) might also attend. My wife already got the time off work so we are still a go!

    m1009 no start

    I never got a clear answer what the relay/resister does to be honest, I just know that my M1009 was running great then one day I went to start and there was a short zapping sound followed by a puff of smoke. After that when ever I tried to start it nothing at all would happen, I removed the...

    m1009 no start

    I don't claim that this is the exact same issue but I had a similar problem once, it was some type of relay....see below thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/28167-yikes-what.html once I removed the burned up relay she cranked right up. Good Luck, Dale

    Thanks SS!! 10 years and 11,000+ members!!

    Thanks from us newbies too Chris! This is a GREAT site with a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw from. As far as not ever thinking that the site you guys started would still be around after ten years, well NASA said the same about the Hubble space telescope when it was launched in 1990...

    SF97 form question-Purchase price

    Not always, I have my request for SF-97 where I clearly entered 1985. The sale listing said 1985, the cucv data plate says MFG 11/85...... However my SF-97 says its a 1986. CARNAC says this: Organization: TRANSPORTATION MOTORPOOL WAARNG Location: CP MURRAY,WASHINGTON Nomenclature:TRUCK...

    How many people work at GL?!!!

    I feel your pain, after my last PCS move my primary vehicle (a dodge Durango) had to go into the shop for a engine rebuild, so during this time I had no transportation. It really sucked to know I had a M1008 that was running and paid just sitting in the DRMO yard less than two miles from my...

    SF-97 from privat seller

    Correct it should have been titled first. However surrendering the SF-97 is part of the registration process, I just had to give mine up today when I went to get plates. It will be 6-8 weeks before I get a new title in the mail. Each state is different perhaps some PA members will chime in...

    Ignition switch locking up

    Ok I searched for this one and found threads about electrical problems, my issue seems to be mechanical. Today when I went to drive home from work I tried for like 20 minutes before the switch would actually turn/rotate. I tried the normal stuff, such as jiggling the steering wheel adjusting...

    Where's Your License Plate?

    I do (of the bumper one anyway), 1st thing I notice is that a plate mounted here would cover the blackout light.

    Where's Your License Plate?

    I think it varies, My old 85 M1009 CUCV did not have those inserts, the 85 M1008 pick-up I just bought does have those. It does seem odd that some would have them and some don't though. You have to remember the logic behind the CUCV in the first place, it was meant to save money as a...

    Some pics of my M1009

    It's the MP corp insignia "crossed pistols", signal has two crossed flags, infantry has crossed rifles, aviation has a propeller over a set of wings......etc

    1986 M1008 CUCV in San Antonio TX

    It's not worth 1/2 of the reduced price.......driver's window broken, leaky water pump....WoW Buyer beware. My two cents anyway. Sure it can be spruced up an may be worth something but 4k? I sold a M1009 for 4k myself but it had a 6" lift and new rockcrawler wheels with HMMWV tires, a decent...

    PNW-2009-First Annual Chehalis River Valley MV Convoy

    Just to ensure I'm not misleading anyone I am not 18 series, I was commo, then infantry (9 yrs) then I got picked up for UAV Warrant, so I am SF support not a true snake eater ;) I did do some LRSD time though. Dale
