    M1008 radiator replacement

    If you order one, make sure you open and inspect it while the delivery driver is there. Any damage, refuse it. Out of 4 shipped to me, 2 were damaged. Hopefully the 5th time will be intact.

    M101a3

    From what I have heard. Just having a Bill of Sale will not get you a title. If a vehicle coming into PA does not have a good title from another state, getting a PA title can be difficult. But, it can be done if you can find someone that is familiar with the process. As for weights, if the...

    Battery Wiring Maintenance

    I looked for days trying to find the P/N for that special terminal. Could not locate one. I even made a trip to my alternator/starter re-builder, they didn't know of a source as well. Sad thing is that I remember seeing one available a few weeks before and I could not remember what place had them.

    Battery Wiring Maintenance

    Once again, the ugly battery connections are present on another truck. This is a M1008 that I purchased 4 years ago. While changing the radiator (another disaster story) I noticed that the battery terminals were attached with the hammer method of crimping. Not being a fan of a ball peen crimper...

    New guy from PA

    The last time I filed, you did not need to send photos. But that was a few years ago. The first time I filed for Antique, photos were required. I just read the latest MV-11 and it was revised 3-25. They must have added the photo requirement then. The MV-11V was revised 5-25. Typical PennDOT...
