    M105 on a M1028, has anyone one done that?

    Campers are normally 80" plus wide, that way you can sleep on the narrow end without eating up to much of your living space. I want to build the top with aluminum and have a light weight cabover camper. Most of the slide in campers have cheap wood frames that leak and cone apart with much...

    M105 on a M1028, has anyone one done that?

    I am thinking about putting a M105 trailer bed on my m1028. My son kind of munched it out wood cutting. I am also thinking of building a camper on top of that bed. The M105 is widder and longer, any suggestions? Anyone have a clean M105 they want to trade fro a M101a2?

    no clicking with new glow plugs

    That thing that is smoking, just pull it out and throw it away :). It sounds like your resistor, and they heat up, maybe you have a little oil on it. Look up resistor bypass, you may want to get rid of it, unless you plan on being jumped with 24 volts. Mine make a real nice paper weight!:jumpin:

    no clicking with new glow plugs

    I just put in the AC60's and pulled the resistor. I ran a 10 gauge wire to the 12v block by the relay. Mine does not click anymore either I thought maybe I did not have enough voltage or amperage going to it. It still started at -8 but not at -19.9. Sometimes I can hear a little click but not...

    -10 outside and the m1009 started...

    Mined started last night at -8, It is the coldest I have ever seen this morning at - 19.9 or -20 with windchill. I don't think the Glow plug relay was working it was so cold. The wait light came on but I could not hear the relay. It did not start even with a light either. (spray and crank do not...

    body armor/run-flat tires?

    Now you have me thinking, If you had a simple mounting system in place you could slide Poly panel around the outside of your truck if the poop hit the fan. I think it would be best to have two layers. Now I am going to have to go shot some sign martial!

    body armor/run-flat tires?

    I own I sign shop and you can buy bulk Polycarbonate from your local sign wholesale supply company. It is used for back lite signs. Make sure it is polycarbonate and not the cheap stuff they sell that looks like it. I worked in the Safety industry before that and safety glasses use poly lens, we...

    EMP Ready M1009 question

    I have read one second after. My understanding, and I need to do more research but that our atmosphere would some what block or slow down the effects from the sun. Do you have any good sites that talk about CME? I have communication equipment that are protected waiting to be used after such an...

    EMP Ready M1009 question

    I think a solar flare will be a great hardship but an HEMP is where that 10% figure comes from. Your tractors and trucks that move food will still work after a solar flare. Police cars will still roll and there will be some communications. We raise pigs in my small town but the feed comes from...

    EMP Ready M1009 question

    One second after dot com, is a very good site. The owner of the site met with our top military to prepare what is on the site. He also wrote a fictional book based on what he has learned. I would recommend it to everyone. Remember it is fiction but it does make you think and plan ahead. The...

    6x6 super single I saw at FT Carson GL lot

    I am still building my CUCV. My big thing is HEMP and it sounds like that may have a computer being as new as it is. I like simple, but I want the best technology I can afford. I have a large family and would like something bigger that if I had to I could get to PHX and pick up my kids. I live...

    6x6 super single I saw at FT Carson GL lot

    Thanks! I went on ebay and that was exactly what I saw. WOW I better save my pennies, it looks like just what I want and don't need. I wonder what the fuel economy is like?

    6x6 super single I saw at FT Carson GL lot

    Need help ID'ing a truck I saw at Ft Carson CO while picking up a m101a2 trailer from GL. It was a 6x6 with factory super singles? I would really like a 6x6 with super singles, that came that way from the military. It was in GL yard and appeared to be in good shape or at least newer. Any ideas...

    M1008

    The truck came with the cover, but I saw one on ebay I think brand new for $160.00. You may have to look around, I know someone is selling them new. You can make the base with angle iron and curtain fasteners. If you would like I found a source for those too as I had to replace some of mine...

    New Tires

    I just went to the 255/85/16 Thats a tall skinny 33.3 x 10" tire. It is as big as you can get without any problems. It only drops RPM's about 100 at 55 mph but it really helped me off road. I use my truck for wood also and the only down side is it raised the bed 1" higher to put wood in it.
