    Front leaf spring packs

    One may need more information, start with how many spring leaves you have now, do you see any broken? Do you have a winch? What is the build nomenclature on the dash placard? How does it steer right now. Has it been changed since it was built? What year was it built? Have your read the TM...

    Best guesses at a restored m1009's value in 2018 and beyond

    It was not an military vehicle but same notes/ideas/ apply. Just sold a Z06 that was worth 43K with all the "improvements" but then it was no longer box stock so got a much smaller audience and it went for 30K. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=llXOtkrm07o

    Diagnosis: broken con rod

    My Roadmaster does an honest 10mpg whatever I put in it. Last hurricane I was laughing at all the pickups lined up to get sheets of plywood that didn't fit in their trucks. I just put it all inside. Always buy/run a vehicle for what it can do for you.

    How does the multifuel engine actually work?

    After all these years the new cars use it now, albeit much more sophisticated, but same same GI. Would you like to see the patent?

    Cold weather and no start.

    If you ever get it running again just leave it run. She was designed to do that. Inspect everything while running. Let Her run for a week or two while you watch. It is a tactical military vehicle for war, She is not a Chevy

    Thinking of buying a MEP 803a. What should I look for?

    Hey, I'll wait a year. At least until August of 2018. I don't even know which MEP I need but want from an SS member that will sell me a unit that is "fixed up" and proven. Just contact frank8003 or post here in auxiliary equipment. Why no MEP forum thing of its own yet?
