    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Fixed my left outside door handle today, that I broke yesterday.

    M1009 starting problems

    Actually, the voltmeter and clicking sounds speak volumes (pun intended) without having to use the ohmmeter on each gp.

    M1009 starting problems

    Ok. Thanks for clarification. I put new glow plugs in this last fall and cycled them too many times and burnt 6 of them up, swelling them too, in minutes. They were Delco 13s. Major newbie to diesel move, but it sounds like you're no newbie. You could use the ohmmeter on them to eliminate. If...

    M1009 starting problems

    If it is turning over slowly, I cannot see how it's anything but the batteries (or just one battery). Only other thing to make it turn over slowly would be the starter. Have batteries checked first to eliminate.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I feel your frustration. Been there. A rap on the starter with a two to four pound hammer, but not too hard, MAY expose internal starter issues. I had a truck once where I carried a mini sledge for months for that purpose. I have taken Chevy and VW starters apart and cleaned everything inside...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Maybe the heavy wire going to the starter. I've had a few gassers that after a little pull on the cable it'd start. I'm just not the most ambitious mechanic in the cold. Some things must wait til a break in the weather. Got my 1008's new tow companion a mere 50' parked away from it. Gonna hook...

    Street Legal and register 5 ton for commercial use?

    Wow. That pretty much leaves no options.

    Street Legal and register 5 ton for commercial use?

    Oh, I see. The whole interstate thing had me nervous, and WV laws (just 20 min from state line) really make me nervous! That daggone pride thing! Gets us every time. My title office is county level and when the lady finished mine I told her I would come to her directly next time and she begged...

    Oh yeah, topic! I came to IL to pick up a M101A2 to drag behind my CUCV to help with braking, vs the M101A1.

    Does GP Load Trailers For Shippers At Any Sites?

    Ok Jwade, I will pm you directly. I would be way more willing to bid if I could talk to the point of contact first. As for the trailer at polk, I guess I am screwed out of another 1/4 grand just to get it loaded. By the way, the guys at Columbus, and Chambersburg are very helpful. Forgive my...

    That sounds like my backyard mechanicing. I park what I am working on at summer so the vehicle shades me. I promise myself a garage every year, but I lie to myself all the time! Like telling myself I know what I'm doing!

    So what is the key word in that statement? I report all transactions but to reporr the value of a gf scratching my back because I scratched hers is pushing it!

    Does GP Load Trailers For Shippers At Any Sites?

    Can a person call and get actual accurate specifics on a site before bidding? Maybe have the point of contact info available to talk to the person there to hear it from the horses mouth before winning a bid.

    Street Legal and register 5 ton for commercial use?

    It was easy for me in Ohio, but I already had the CDL and I only haul intrastate. Just gotta pay for plates, get commercial vehicle inspection (fed law), and get USDOT number and your state's number. Ours is done by the public utilities commision. I had no need or want to shortcut anything as...

    Street Legal and register 5 ton for commercial use?

    Fed law controls CDL now. Class A for a trailer. Class B for straight truck.

    Does GP Load Trailers For Shippers At Any Sites?

    Well, sir, that's a step in the right direction. Couldn't you have at least one day per week to have loading assistance? I mean, if you have that many sites, you're rolling in the dough. One employee could cover five smaller sites, if you would pay the employee's travel costs.
