It doesnt, as far as I know. The government never titles these trucks, in the comventional manner, and they never get taken to a dealer for warranty work, so no paper trail exists for them, as it does with civy vehicles.

Chiclin, what type truck was it? I'm south of Drexel about 45 miles, I may be able to help.

Tell ya what I did. Had an M105, with a bad spindle. Sawed the ends off, and had a ton dually rear end, dana 70. Cut the axle ends off, they slid perfectly into the 105 axle tube, and welded them up. Now the 105 takes ton dually or single wheels. Not sure if the 101 axle tube diameter is the same.

Pics As promised, pics. Couldnt get any during recovery, it was raining non-stop. Once I got them home, I got these on Saturday. Chuck, the dead batteried charged up, so looks like one fan belt, and 1 ignition lock cylinder is all they need so far.I still need to drive the one that we hauled on...

Well, 55 is the pest speed to max at, however short bursts to 65 arent too bad. Over 55 the mpg goes way down. Most folks would swap to 3.73 or 4.10 gears . The 3.08gears in the M1009 are too tall, it needs 3.73.

Great! Get your tow bar done? Hopefully it goes good for you.

Yea, it really was interesting. Something I noticed. A lot of M1009's in various parted condition, hopefully coming up soon. I'd like a cheap parts truck or two. I guess I will bewatching Drexel close. Also sawseveral Deuces being loaded and hauled by some lucky buyers. Any SS folks there ?

Mission complete 12:30 hours. Started at 07:30 hours,pouring rain, and found trailer lights inop (last user cut the wires to fit his truck). Wired tailights only, left and arrived at Drexel about 09:15 hours. Got to the first M1009, the broken ignition switch, had to pop the wheel off to remove...

Great. Nice looking truck ya got there. Mine had a bad battery, once replaced has been doing fine.

Finally got scheduled for pickup of 3 M1009's for another SS member. Unknown running condition, as was mine. Since I picked mine up, I saw first hand all that I "should have had on hand". This time, got a truck and car trailer, tow bar, 3 drivers, extra batteries, spare, fuel, oil, home made...

Have been pondering the same setup. Sounds like the starter drive needs oiled good, or starter is needing shimmed away from the crank. Try loosening the starter mounting slightly and try it. If it spins out correct, it needs repositioned.

I agree, the Blazer is a very economical ride, although a bit sluggish. I am extremely happy with mine. Hoping my road trip nets in the 20's.

My M1009 runs 19 and 20 all local driving. Dont see much over 55. Planning on a road trip soon, expect 20 to 22 if I stay under 65.

You are right. I must have gotten "lysdexic".

The M1028 uses a pump that mounts where the distributor went on gassers. On the civis, I believe they used a belt driven unit, but (and this is the million dollar question) I think civi units with a/c used possible the military unit. Not 100% positive tho.

Armyman, out of the 40 or so M1009's mine ($990) came from, the great majority were driven out. The rest needed small things to run, with the worst so far was the fellow with broken starter bolts. They ranged from $990 to a little over $1800 I believe. On my budget, I had to stay low (not to...

JW, how did your trucks turn out? I am loving my M1009.

I wouldnt mind popping in, if I can get everything schedules for it. I'm down in hilly Brown County

Wheres Granite city located, relative to I-70 and the Indiana line?

Anyone know of a convoy or group coming through central Indiana? I am trying to get ready to go.
