The sprag doesn't go crazy trying to engage?

If I'm still in KS then, I'll be there. M925 or HMMWV....

Has anyone actually done desplined hubs on an M809series truck? I think there's a show stopper....

My impressions, spread out over a bunch of these trucks 939series, 809series and M44series....total of maybe 50,000 miles. Regarding ride smoothness, they vary. Every truck is different. I drove an M931A2 from Indianapolis to Waco TX by way of Columbus OH. I didn't notice it being any better...

How well do desplined hubs work with the sprag transfer?

Looks like the seats in mine... Good seating only goes so far. The energy still has to go somewhere. I suggest you try out the seats in it before contemplating replacement/upgrade. The long wheelbase should help some. My experience has been that the taller tires also help some. I attribute...

The truck will try it's level best to beat you to death. If you've never ridden in one, it's beyond my ability to describe.... Your dad is 75 or so? Riding across country is a real risk of compression fractures in the vertebra. I really don't recommend it for him...

I find the clutch really difficult to reach. Not enough room between the steering wheel and the top of the clutch travel. I'm 6'2".

I've heard from several people who talked to DMV prior to purchase and were told no problem. When they came back they were told just no. So talking to DMV prior is no guarantee you'll get the same answer when you come back...

Be aware, if your shifter is working correctly it won't allow this. You can shift from lower forward hears to higher forward gears, but it won't let you go past N until you mash the button.

Suboptimal. Lindsey97 has a transmission new in the can....

Now that I have a functional door handle, I took the doors off and drove it to sonic. The rusted brushguard, headlight bezels, and other assorted tan nastiness is bothering me. So I took the brushguard and headlight bezels off and got after them with a powered wire brush. Then I painted them...

Not all of them got it. There's a scant few that didnt. I've seen several go through auction without it.

That headlight pulsing and volt meter swing is electrical load caused by afterglow on the glowplugs, as an aid to keeping it running until it gets warm. Feature, not bug. :)

Dare i say it? TRASH TRUCK :) Back on topic - dual fuel and call it done. Anything else has excessive risk.

Presuming G177s. 50psi on the rears, 80psi up front.

ABS is there, pic 2.

That's an M925A0. Trivial difference. Looks decent. Drop the driveshaft on the M1009. Got lights?

Does it have reset tags on it? Looks like a nice truck. I'm biased, but I like the 2man pickup variant.
