Hello all, here is the run down for my M1009. For a while now I felt that my back brakes were not grabbing right. Now that I had some free time I pulled the drums and found the passenger side full of gear oil. So I know the outer seal is bad. Here are my questions. The passenger axle has in...

I finally got the time to upload all the photos I took during a Trail ride my club holds a few times a year. This one was from November '09. We had a great turn out and quite a few big trucks came out this time. This is a real treat for us here on Long Island because we don't have any place to...

As I said the other day I am finally getting old photo sets that I shot done and posted. This is the whole set from the NYC Vet's Parade in 2008. I know many SS members trucks are in them and that's why I placed the post in Member's Rides. New York City Veteran's Day Parade

Dabba and I took out the CUCV's to recon a trail I was told about last week. It was fantastic. Plus I found out that Long Island does have real deep mud holes. Plus hats off to Dabba. The man fears nothing. http://www.ny-tactical.com/ar15pics/ReconMission/Recon.wmv

My 6.2 is running cold? (UPDATE) About a month ago I installed a mechanical temp gauge near the air pump with the adapter plate. The truck was running at around 170 degrees. Last week while on my way to a trail ride I looked down and the gauge read zero. (140 is the coldest the gauge will...

I have a big problem. Do any of you fine guys have a Engine Water Outlet for my 6.2? Part# 14028917. Yesterday my thermostat failed and today when I went to replace it, the bottom bolt on the thermostat housing was either seized or cross threaded. Either way the bottom ear on the outlet broke...

We were given permission to have a trail ride through Connetquot State Park in NY. Plenty of Mud to play in. :-D

I just spent the morning cleaning up the old girl for a St. Pat's parade. 3 or 4 of us are going to meet up at the staging area. If all goes as planed I should be carrying 3 retired Marines that can't march the distance anymore. I had a good time with the old guys last time and I'm sure I will...

I just got a sale paper from Summit Racing. They have the Edelbrock Performer IAS Twin-Tube Front Shocks, Full Size GM Pickup '69-'91 on clearance for $6 each. Reg. $49.95. Stock, 4" & 6" lifts. I just ordered some so they are in stock. My extras will be on sale next year for $25 each. :-P...

On another thread I posted that my glow plug solenoid never cycles on and off like I keep reading. In the morning I would turn the key and the wait light would be on and the volt gauge would be in the yellow. After the light would go out I would start her up. The volt gauge still showed the...

I have a fogged out rear Black Out Light and have been looking for a while to get a new set. The ones I always see had the old round elec. connector and I finally found a pair with the weather tight connectors cheap and new. My question is, are these being used in modern MV's? Look at the...

On the way to work I smelled it.:-? After work I jumped in and sure enough a nice puddle of green on the floor.:sad: Glad it was less then a 15min ride home because I could barely see out the windshield and I won't crave pancakes for a long time. :) Oh well, I guess yard work will wait...

Spentshell will chime in shortly with the details of the adventure. I was taking photos and video and used my truck as the rear guard. The quick story is our friend Tom lost his brakes because of a blown wheel cylinder. This is the first time anyone of us towed another MV. Except for one rude...

How many of you Perv's jumped on this post for a different reason?:razz: I was home board today with nothing to do. We were suppose to get a nice snow storm that turned out to be just a covering so the off-roading was cancelled. So then I put on some long underwear, packed up my camera's and...

My wife just sent this over to me. It seems this is someone from my area. Her friends husbands partner or boss or something like that. Either way he almost took out a lot more then the car. I wish we could see what happened after he got hung up and was near kissing the red truck.

Don't laugh at me. A while back I was in a night parade with a guy that had an M37. All his gauges were lit up in red and ever since I have been wanting to do the same on my M1009. On a road trip home from TN one day I got off at a truck stop and found some red "Mood" lights. I grabbed a package...

I started this project over a year ago and then it sat on the shelf forever since the truck was off the road. So these past few weeks since all seems to be well with the truck I have been staying late in the shop finishing up my DVD player. The head unit is from JVC. I found a company on the web...

A group of us from the Nassau and Suffolk MV Clubs got together for a day of trail riding through Connetquot State Park. I think it's around 900 acres of dirt trails used by horse riders and hikers. The temp was crisp in the mid 30's with some wind to make it feel colder. Very few horseback...

Since only one of my group of local MV friends has a working Mil radio and I don't have the funds at this time to get my own I gave my CB a spray can military look. I took a new CB that I just got off of eBay apart and gave it a professional looking repaint. I then made a metal mount for it at...

The two MV clubs I belong to (NY Military Vehicle Club & Long Island Military Vehicle Club) convoyed out to the city for a great Veterans day parade. We had a fantastic turnout of MV's and the NJ guys brought out some really amazing stuff. Including a couple of Gun Trucks and a Half Track...
