every 5 ton i've had (M818, M543) have had a larger airpack.

Yep, you've got air in the system. 1) build a brake bleeder (pays for itself everytime I use it) 2) bleed airpack first, then go thru all cylinders bleeding thoroughly to insure no air. 3) Drive with confidence that you've gone thru your break system thoroughly.

There are tons of articles on this site as well as the TMs needed to perform the tasks. This can be as simple as the axle flange gasket.

Is it the glass that's expensive? If so, why?

Welcome from the Sacramento area of Nor. Cal. I'm always working on an MV project. Your "free" labor is always welcome :lol:

Awesome job on this resto. My bucket list includes a halftrack project...some day...some day...

I have a 1008 and my buddy had a 1009. I'd have a 1008 over the 1009 any day. I use this truck all the time. It tows great, gets good fuel mileage and having a full size bed makes it super handing around the property.

Someday I'll have one...someday...

Nice jeep and great project. Good luck and keep the resto pics coming.

Nice find. I'm still working on the restoration of my M543. Very cool truck.

I took the 2001 M-gator for a spin the other day and it overheated and shut down. It has the Yanmar diesel engine. I found the water pump wasn't moving coolant. Come to find out, if it sucks in air (like opening the radiator cap :doh:) it will lose the prime in the water pump and not pump...

So. Cal. scrap yards with M38 parts is kinda rare. The couple yards I know of don't have stuff that old anymore.

Bring tools. I had a couple fuel lines blow when I brought my deuce home for the first time. I'd be prepared for that. Duck tape is a must.

Snowtiger is spot on, "it's usually for drugs".

Welcome Alan and Whitephoenix.

Welcome from Nor. Cal.

I thought it would be cool to make a gun mount for my gator. I found this picture of what I was imagining. Anyone done this yet? I'd love some dwgs etc.

I'd buy it. BTW, I have a rebuilt multifuel in the container if you desire to do a motor swap. PM if interested.

Sounds like you are back on the road. Great news! I'm in Nor. Cal., just West of Sacramento. I can help if you have any issues.

Good to know. Thanks.
