Years ago the only diesel I had was the old family tractor. Then we got our first military vehicle, a M151A2. Well that started the down fall and now the only civilian vehicles I have left are my dually for long hauls and the wife's daily driver (though she says she wants the M1010 for her...
Should be DOT 5 unless someone has changed it out to DOT 3. You can test it by taking a sample and putting it in a small bit of DOT 3 and another part in some DOT 5. The fluids won't mix so you can determine which fluid is in your jeep.
Reminds me of the "A-Team" van that was running around Warrior in Iraq. We also had an M1010 that the box was cut off and HMMWV wheels/tires, it was used as a maintenance truck.
If you need any parts for the Wisconsin motor, Napa has everything that I got. Fuel Pump, Plugs, Carb Kit, Points, Coil, etc. You can easily search for it on their website by just typing in Wisconsin in the search bar of Napa's site. I sat there with the counter guy searching and searching...
Heating it up and then tapping the drum could help break it free. I wouldn't suggest trying to actually cut it since it will make a molten mess in there. Not sure what penetrating fluid your using, but Seafoam makes a great product called "Deep Creep" that has worked better for me than...

Deserteagle, First thing is that is an amazing truck. Beautiful restoration!!! I believe it would be impossible to say too much nice things about your M1009. Pricing something like that is hard determine. The hardest part is finding someone willing to spend what you are looking for. You...
Wonder if they have something to do with it mounting in different vehicles like a lmtv. The last pic looks like a stop and the other one looks like a stop and lip. Maybe where it's suppose to stop against the front of the bed. I don't know but can guess. Lol
Please Everyone, use this as a reminder to always keep up with your maintenance and perform your In Operation checks. These are the type of incidents that we all fear for our hobby. Just thankfully no one was seriously hurt or killed!
As Karl mentioned, if you did not pay for the vehicle in the required time period, then it goes to default. GP says they will issue you an SF97 or if required a Florida title at an extra fee. You really need to read the terms and conditions before bidding on any item. Unless I have missed...
