    Tall people in an M715

    I am 6'3", when I had mine I fit fine in my truck. Never had too many problems with fitting in the cab. Now getting the darn thing to run because some genius put a V8 in it with a starter too small for the engine, that was another story.

    IL Newcomer w/recently acquired bobbed deuce loves the BFT, but needs TLC

    Welcome to the madness, I cant remember who told me this but "If its not leaking then something is wrong." Most of the trucks I have seen "mark their territory" a bit. But if it seems like something major I would recommend fixing it. There are enough guys on here that can help out info wise and...

    Steel Soldier "TheWeatherMan" spotted

    Yes that is a Nathan P3 air horn... well train horn to be exact. I have never had a problem with blowing it and not having enough air. And yes that was at Barrington cruise night, parking sucked there. I was there at 5:30 and almost most of the lot was full, but they still found a spot for me...

    I should be going to the Palatine Cruse night this friday for their opener. I heard a roomer that they are moving it again to somewhere in Mundelein but I am not 100% on that info. As of now I will be there (old menards lot on rt 12) about 6:30pm, as long as the weather is decent.

    Got my first thumbs up yesterday,,,

    I live by a lot of, well "upper class" people. Some of them give me that look of utter disgust when I drive by, yet their kids in the back seat of their cars smile and waive. Most people smile and wave, the wrangler drivers drool as I go by. I have even had a few vets salute me as I drive by.

    I am more of a Panera guy myself but, to each his own. I also go to the Barrington, Lake Zurich and Palatine Cruise nights. We can really use a few more OD trucks or just ild trucks in general.

    Black engine oil!?

    Welcome to the crazy world of diesel... soon you will only be buying diesel vehicles. But yes black oil is the norm in these trucks. You know how diesels put out black smoke? Well that makes your oil get dirtier a lot faster than a gas engine. No you dont need to change it more often. Just calm...

    First ever CUCV

    My buddy bought a M1009 that "didn't run" turns out the batteries were dead and the starter wouldn't spin. So we did our redneck mechanic skills and hit that dang starter with a hammer a few times and sure enough it broke free and started. Oh and btw the guy at GL tried to jump it and nothing...
