New guy with a M1008

[M1008driver]

I want to thank Mike for getting me going.

I traded for a M1008 and what I think is a M101A1 trailer. What parts should I get to keep on hand? I don't plan on changing anything about the vehicle, just want to keep it going. Thanks!

Now I need the M1009. I can tag these vehicles cheap and buy cheap insurance too. I don't know why I never did this before. My wife thinks I have lost it until I told her to go buy a new SUV. Now she loves me again. We are both happy.



EDIT- There is a M1009 right around the corner the guy hardly ever drives. I am thinking about contacting him and see if he will sell.

Doing the doghead starter relay mod is a must. $20.00 saves you a few hundred.
I keep a starter, starter bolts, filters, belts, cdr valves and hopefuly an alternator.

Welcome and good luck with your truck. Down load the TM's and start reading.

It is a fiberglass topper. It looks like the doghead starter relay mod is my first thing to do. +1 on the TM's.

Just joined the club

Gave $2400 for this M1009:


What I need is a rear window. Or a gasmask. Any ideas?

Nice M1008 set up. Drive it as much as you can.

I ordered my parts for the doghead relay mod. I went with the Cole Hersee 24712-S7 doghead listed. I still have to get a rear license plate light. Things are getting better everyday...

 

[M1008driver]

Well...the company I ordered from says they can no longer get the Cole Hersee so I went to NAPA and bought the last part in town. I tried to buy American so I don't feel bad.
