New M1009 Owner

[DaveDawson]

I just purchased this M1009, this week. 54k miles. No rust out of Texas. It had been donated to a police department. Runs great. So far, everything seems to work as it is supposed to. Anything I should look out for? I am a rookie at these. I have many decades of experience with gas engines, so I am going to have to go through a big learning curve.
Thanks
Dave

Welcome to SS.

Start in the CUCV forum, read the Wiki and the stickies. And then download the free technical manuals and read the TM 9-2320-289-10 manual. It is your owners manual for the beast.

Welcome to steel soldiers.... Its gonna look better with the snow camo and some 35's

Thanks for the welcomes. It is white. It was painted white and was going to be used as a police vehicle in Texas. The problem was no one wanted to drive it. Too hot for them. For some reason they didn't like the fact that it didn't have A/C. Runs fantastic.
