    Cheaper than a tow truck!!

Leaks do that I guess). I finally found that one battery and the kill switches I...

    Cheaper than a tow truck!!

    Ok, so I replaced the solenoid today. Turned on he lever and heard the buzzer, all gauges were working, and I thought "sweet, it is fixed". Pushed the button and "clunk" dead again. So I took out the starter and will replace some wires and put a different starter on this weekend, hope it works.

    Cheaper than a tow truck!!

    You aren't kidding, I paid $600 for it 5 years ago and it has paid for itself many times over (especially when I had my M1009). Probably the smartest investment you can make when you own an MV.

    Convoy lights on M109?

    The M35 has had a good run but needs the engine rebuilt, the 2 rear diffs rebuilt and the brake lines replaced. So at this point it is cheaper to replace the truck and keep the spare parts and have a spare engine. I was looking at putting 1 light by the stack and one at the rear of the box...

    Convoy lights on M109?

    Currently have convoy lights installed on my M35A2. I will be scrapping it next year and may be purchasing an M109. The question I have is has anybody mounted convoy lights on their M109? It doesn't look like they will fit between the cab and van body. Thanks,
