Outstanding! The only thing about a low hour truck like mine is several rubber parts need to be replaced. I've got a few seals that decided to let go:-0. Oh well, it's a labor of love.

You know, I got thinking about fuel mixing with the crankcase oil. However, the oil has absolutely no Diesel smell what so ever. Seemed a bit too coincidental to have exactly 10 gallons in the crankcase. The oil level on the dipstick was the same upon recovery and after driving it 60 miles home.

Yikes, the oil on the dipstick seemed a bit high when I went to recover the truck. I thought it was maybe a gallon over the 5 gallon capacity. Boy was I ever wrong. I decided I would drain off a little of the crankcase oil because the color indicated it was just changed not so long ago. I...

Thanks for the input and compliments gentlemen but the big guy made this possible. And the name of the truck reflects this. Here's the stencil I made up for the newest acquisition: LOL, as you can see I made good use of the those donation wanted free address labels you get in the mail.

Thanks John, I don't doubt the fuel is original. It is a nice golden color that smells nothing like diesel. It got me home OK. Need to drain that tank and clean her up.

I'll have to take some more pics tonight. Thanks for the tip on the black paint HS

Randy I was thinking fire when i first looked under the hood. Looks like whatever tar based undercoating product they used it failed miserably. I did notice that she has a coat of tan underneath the CARC. She may have spent some time in the sandbox. The firewall, engine, wiring and...

CT, with 2 hrs of sleep I almost waited until tomorrow to post this thread but got to keep my word:-) Now I'm ready for bed:-)

Still more pics coming

More pics still coming The first pics are my homemade signs. I made every attempt to keep DRMO from pulling the non-radium gauges.

Hi Dale, you know that would have been a good idea. This whole thing was thrown together at the last minute. Tried to get GL to park her outside the gate yesterday afternoon...no go. Then finally got someone to trade shifts with me today so I could get her. My wife didn't mind coming up, she...

more pics...slow tonight. Well, the nice kiss was my wife's idea. She figured if I waited 1.5 years plus 2 months for the EUC then I should kiss the truck. Now she is off the hook, no more checking EUC status while I'm at work:-)

First off my apologies. This turned into somewhat of a diary I was finally blessed with the ever elusive M109A3 w/w I have been waiting for. I cannot start my recovery story until I begin with how this whole thing came about. Just bear with me gentlemen this is more of a journal . I have been...
