...add to the problems the ducting... You'd have to use either the defroster or the heater ducts...which are not optimal for cooling. Bruce Olney, MD

If you want a diesel-powered 10 ton cargo, just find a cargo bed from a 10 ton gasser and mount it on an M123A1. Unlike the deuces and 5 tons, both the cargo and the tractor have the same wheelbase. Now...the tough part...finding the correct bed! Bruce Olney, MD

I might try to make it. Kenny, is there anything you are after. Email me. Bruce Olney, MD

...oh yeah...if you are looking for a cargo cover, bows and fiberglass troop seats for the truck, let me know. I've got an NOS set of troop seats and bows, as well as recent 3-color vinyl cargo cover. Bruce Olney, MD -------------- 1989 M932A2 1989 M925A2 1989 M101A2 1988 M977 1988...

First, congrats on the truck. I love the dumps and I've had an M817 w/w. Now, on to the motor...I've been told by someone that knows much more than I do (John Winslow) that he's had several M809 series trucks with stuck motors...each had been sitting for a while. He was told by a Cummins...

I'll be honest...the 10 tons are MUCH, MUCH more fun to look at and talk about than to drive. They are beasts...non-sychro transmissions, heavy, overwidth (114" wide) and very slow (top speed on the cargo was 42 mph, but I'm not sure I ever did that). Don't get me wrong. They are cool trucks...

I have a set of brand new set of fiberglass troop seats, aluminum bows and a new 3-color camo vinyl top for the dump. I had this installed on my M929A1 before I sold the truck and it has been sitting in my garage ever since. I only had the troop seats/bows/cargo cover on the truck for 6 months...

I recommend that you look at the hydraulic lines. They often are leaking, or at least weaping. Not too expensive to fix...but messy!

I sold one new in the crate for $350...with everything still wrapped in that waxy paper with the manuals! I wish I still had it. Bruce Olney, MD

Kenny, If you get to Aberdeen next year, you can drive the HEMTT. Unless a nicer one comes along, this one is staying with me! Bruce Olney, MD

Thanks to Chris Stansbury, I am now able to get on the list again. To clarify, I had two HEMTTs...one is a really nice M977 cargo and the other started as a basket case...an M978 fueler. Thanks to some really nice work by Tommy Craig in FL, the M978 was coming along nicely when I was...

I am not going to bid against you, but I think you are fooling yourself if you think that people who read this list won't bid against you. Remember...as others have pointed out previously...there are many people who are not on this list that read it. My suggestion...if you want a particular...

Those straps are used to secure the back portion of the cab top in the up position. Loosen the ropes at the back of the cab top and roll it up. You will notice that those straps secure to hooks on the top of the cab top.

I would not be shocked if the trucks runs as-is. I have a friend that bought a 5 ton multifuel tractor that had been sitting for 12 years. He put batteries in it and fired it up. Maybe, you can towbar it with your current deuce. If it is not far, it will save you money.

When I first saw that M925A2, I was tempted. Then, I talked to a friend who inspected it. He told me it is RUSTY! Did you see the rust through on the front of the hood? Do you know how much salt exposure that takes? I have owned several M939 series trucks and I can tell you that this is NOT...

Mike, I've done business with GMA. Their products are top-notch. They may say that the cover is for the dropside truck, but it works on both the standard cargo bed and the dropside bed. I would guess that the other company has good covers, as well, but I don't have any firsthand knowledge...

By the way...I said "several thousand miles." I meant several HUNDRED thousand miles. Several thousand miles wouldn't be too good, would it?!?!

The 6.2L motor is a very good one. It is very durable. I have seen many trucks with several thousand miles on them 6.2s in them. The guys that say the motor is a dog are those that incorrectly compare it to today's diesels. Yes, it is a dog compared to a Duramax, the newer Cummins, or the...

I'd suggest keeping your speed to 60 mph or less. The truck can cruise all day long at 65 mph, but, since you don't know the truck, it would be wise not to push it...especially on its maiden 600 mile voyage. Good luck. I bet you'll be fine. The M1009s are great highway vehicles.

That's a pretty nice truck that Saturn is selling and at a fair price...especially considering what these trucks are bringing on GL on the east coast. The real benefit is that the potential buyer could presumably test drive it.
