    m1009

    I've been saying the same thing. My little brother (active duty Captain, branched Engineer but currently attending Special Forces school) calls them "those old Blazers".

    Where can I find a new engine harness?

    I might take you up on that offer, but I think I'll try to get a used harness that isn't too cut up to start. If I don't have any luck, you'll be hearing from me soon. Thanks. I'll PM you in a couple of minutes. "Used" and complete is definately better than what I have now. If I have to...

    Where can I find a new engine harness?

    So I've discovered why my '84 M1009 won't start without a little squirt in the intake... not only are quite a few of the glow plugs dead and swollen, but the green wires leading to the passenger side GP's are either rotted apart or eaten away by something. I understand that these wires are part...

    Sold the HMMWV

    There can't be too many shots of HMMWV's parked nose to tail with a Typhoon. Sorry that you had to let it go.

    M101A1 pickup needed in Bordentown

    I just got my EUC cleared from GL for an M101A1 sitting in Bordentown, NJ. I know this is a long shot, but can anyone in the area pick this trailer up for me and hang onto it until I can get a license plate on at least one of my M1009's?

    Is a CUCV Noisy & Smoky?

    I would be very cautious about this situation, as it seems you already are being. I suspect that they worded their restrictions vaguely on purpose, allowing them to enforce their policies arbitrarily. Is it possible for you to drive a CUCV to the neighborhood the next time you visit and get a...

    How do I test my batteries?

    I just used that same feature on my new charger to save the single 6tmf that I own (it was one of the batteries in one of my M1009's from GL). After 48 hours of standard charging, the readout told me that the battery had some kind of failure. After using the desulfate feature (called...

    VIN Info-'You may fire when ready, Gridley.'

    I'd like to add to the collection of lookups you have going here with both of my newly aquired M1009's. Here's what I have on them: 1984 M1009 VIN: 1G8ED18J1EF1984D6 Model: CD-10516 Stock No.: 2320-01-123-2665 Manufactured Date: 07/84 Registration No.: NF06D9 Bumper Numbers: 42-I-2-113...

    Picked up my first M1009

    I picked up my 2nd M1009 on Wednesday at Picatinny, with slightly less success this time. The batteries were both dead on this truck, although I'm hoping that one of them just needs a good charge. I wasn't able to get it even cranking on location, so I needed to bust out my modified Reese...

    Bought my first m1009 today

    Yes it will.

    Picked up my first M1009

    You are correct. I was thinking of another location in South Jersey. Everytime I actually drive all the way to the bottom half of the state, I always feel like I'm close to the beach. I grew up in Middlesex County (all clay soil) and now live up in the mountains in Union County, so that sandy...

    Picked up my first M1009

    ... and now I'll have something else to pick up a while down the line. I just won a M101A1 trailer down in Bordentown. I'm guessing I'll still be waiting for the 1009's SF97's when its time for me to pick up the 101, so it will probably have to get towed home with my Civvy truck. What the...

    Picked up my first M1009

    Lakehurst is pretty close to the beach... they consider wet sand to be solid ground down there. Its also the location where the Hindenberg crashed, and I passed the tiny marker for the crash site on my way in and out of the base. I really am very happy with how well everything worked out with...

    Picked up my first M1009

    I recieved my paid invoice last week for the 2 M1009's that I won in early December, and spent most of Tuesday picking up the first one. I headed down to Lakehurst in the morning and picked up an out-of-work friend who lives 10 miles off post on my way there. The temperature was about 38...

    picatinny nj pick up ,,

    County Route 666 is still in that area. I worked about a mile from exit 37 in the opposite direction for 2 years. I'll be heading up to the Picatinny Nat'l Guard facility to pick up an M1009 within the next two weeks. I'm very glad you guys mentioned the difference between the two...

    Honestly... I really live here

    It will be changed in April when my current license expires. New Jersey doesn't see a need to issue a new DL for something as simple as an address change though... the sticker on the back is their policy.

    Honestly... I really live here

    Apparently everything is cool now. I got the email a few hours ago... my EUC has cleared Battle Creek and I have my paid invoice ready to go. Once they were happy with my documentation, I'm actually quite impressed with how everything went. My next step will be setting up the appointments to...

    3 KW gen set runs non-stop

    Very true... overall its probably better than nothing. I really do hope that anyone who installs one of those units makes sure they are very careful.

    3 KW gen set runs non-stop

    That website scares me quite a bit... but I work in the test lab of one of the largest Automatic Transfer Switch manufacturers. I've looked over their website briefly and for some reason I can't find any details about their UL certification. I'm quite a bit biased, but I've never liked Circuit...

    Honestly... I really live here

    Alright, I will quit whining now. My EUC status changed today to "Sent to Battle Creek". Based on how quick some of you guys seem to be getting the paperwork complete, I guess I'll have to get ready to make a couple of recovery runs in the near future. By the way, thanks for the offer Floyd.
