    Hummer Ambulance

    The wife and I are getting OLD. Been thinking about getting something with a cot/bed for naps (Remember OLD) and an emergency toilet like a cassette toilet (Still related to the OLD thing mixed with two lane roads in Nevada, Utah, etc) Noticed that hummers are being sold now, and I'm interested...

    Lost my little book!

    I was given the wonderful opportunity to fly from west central Indiana to Phoenix to help my adult son drive a square body chevy (he bought sight unseen off Marketplace!). During the three day drive home I planted my little book of passwords somewhere! In there was my Steel Soldiers info. I had...

    It's unfair

    We bought our 1008 for a song. We made an awesome roadtrip to towbar it home 644 miles from Ft Mead to west-central Indiana. it has proven to be an awesome truck during the ice and snow that we have had this year. But this rotten economy may make me sell my FIRST mv to weather the tough times...

    1008 is getting lighter

    I removed the radio rack (Comm shelving) and power cord from the '08 last night. Aboonski is getting them as soon as I can make it down to Fla.Today the seats are coming off. Time to get this truck to hauling stuff!

    My 1008 is making me go bald!

    Yep, I'm pulling my hair out over this charging problem!:wink: But I LOVE my MV and am already planning on more! (Don't worry about keeping this from the wife. I think she has the same iseas!) In what little snow/ice we have had, it has worked fantastic. And this 6.2 is the smoothest that I have...

    Heater blower motor

    OK< I searched and couldn't find out which blower motor that I need. I found confirmation that there are two blower motors for the 1008 trucks heaters. Napa lists one with the big heater and one with the smaller heater. Which is the right one for our trucks? I hate to pull the motor since there...

    Man is it ever dark and cold in here!

    While pulling the kid out of the mud the other night, I realized that is was sure cold and dark in that 1008! I thought that my heater core might be stopped up, but found that the T-stat was stuck wide open. I've got one ordered from NAPA, so hopefully one down. Now all I need is a dome light!:wink:

    "Can I use your phone?"

    Had a kid come up to the house and ask to use our phone. He had a bump on his noggin and said that he had run off the road and got his truck stuck/wrecked. I had the 1008 taken apart to put glowplugs in it. So I hurried up and put it back together while the kid( OK,OK young adult male) tried to...

    5 dead 3 live!

    Yep, just changing the GPs and 5 were dead and only 3 live! I THOUGHT it was starting like it had a COUPLA dead ones! Of course I decided to change one of the cobbled up battery cables that I found while I'm at it, so it's not finished yet. But it HAS to start better!:-D

    Block heater

    My 1008 doesn't have a block heater and while I am replacing the bottom radiator hose, with the expected coolant replacement, I was wanting to install a block heater at the same time. But Autozone doesn't sell them and the kid at NAPA doesn't know what size freeze plug heater that I need. Any...

    Comm shelving in 1008

    I have what I guess is comm shelving in the back of my 1008. It has a power cord running up front and shelves in the back. I'll take pics later when my camera batteries recharge. Since I am going to use my 1008 as a pickup I will be removing this rack and the power cord. What should i do with...

    How gay is this?

    I got some cheap wheels and tires from a guy who needed quick cash. I decided to try them on the 1008. I'm not gonna keep it lilly green original anyway. I just wanna have fun!

    Tranny or T-case cracked!

    As soon as I can, I will post pics of my tranny-T-case area. It seems that GL's forklift not only got the driveshaft, they got the tranny or T-case. It is the area that has the mounting bolts for the T-case. I don't know which this is because it is really between the two cases. Anybody got a...

    644 miles on a towbar!

    Yep, from Ft Mead to Indiana on a towbar! I'm glad I did because my driveshaft has the obligatory forklift divots in it! The "little" mountains were interesting, but my Silverado handled them pretty well. If the driver had of been better, the trip would have been a breeze. :lol: Here are a...

    Ft Mead pickup on 9-19 MAYBE!

    I recieved the coveted Paid-In-Full Invoice Friday and immediately called GL at Ft Mead to try to arrange a pickup for Fri the 19th of Sept. Of course all I got was a recording and got to leave a message. Noone returned my call, so I have no idea if I can pickup next Fri. Since this is a 600...

    Trailer insurance

    If I want to pick up an item at a base do I have to have a seperate insurance card for my trailer? My insurance just includes this coverage with my truck. Would I need to get something special from them to show the trailer is also insured? I don't know how picky these places are. Thanks.

    CUCV prices

    Is it allowed to ask what CUCVs have been selling for at these GL auctions? I read the FAQ about not posting about specific vehicles. But is it OK to talk about the approximate prices that already ended auctions brought? If not, forget I asked. :lol: If it is OK, then what range of prices are...
