    Where's AHAB ?

    Good to hear. Been wondering where he has been and checked his profile about weekly hoping he'd been back. Very glad to hear he is okay. I am missing them very positive supportive posts. Never met him but can clearly see he is good people.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I figured if over 24v on the combo that each must be good. I dealt with bringing three up to par and replacing one before ol' man winter visited.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Checked my battery voltages yesterday. Two weeks below freezing with most of them nights below 0°F and batteries on one were 24.2 and 24.4 on the other. I was actually surprised my HF cheapo multi-tester worked after being in the cold in an outbuilding. Cell phone died in outer jacket pocket in...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Darn. I didn't add to cart but it looked like one available. I tried to find you one.

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    Something tells me they may choose to be closer to DLA mains and I believe that was GLs reasoning.

    M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size

    I think your trailer is an M105A2. I say this as none of the M101s have deuce wheels, as in your picture. The M105s do. The M101A2 has 16" Chevy 8 bolt wheels.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Swamp, would you please explain this filter "washing" process. Do you just spray it with water from the inside out? I just rattled loose the dust myself and the filter flow meter reads in the middle. Would like full flow, or at least closer.

    I love the way you cut out the fenders and rear quarters. That looks tough and not hacked.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I drove mine for the first time on the interstate (I-70) for any distance more than one or two exits. (I had always taken back roads, even to Findlay twice.) It was right at 200 miles round trip. She purred along at 55 pulling an M1082 trailer, loaded with 1500 lbs. on the return trip. I realize...

    New from Williamstown WV

    The M1082 trailers often sell on GP for under $1000. I believe most of the side panels and stakes and covers and tailgate and bows are interchangable with the truck. I would verify NSNs first but if so that may be a cheaper way to go and then have a flat bed trailer after you strip it.

    Issues with SF-97

    Got my SF97s today. Now to see what Ohio expects.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    New cartridge installed today. The old one had some oily residue on it and a lot of water droplets but no sign of where the desiccant escaped. The cartridge was very heavy compared to the new one so I figure it was fully absorbed in water. I guess I will just keep the ones I had for sale if I...

    Issues with SF-97

    Trade security. Feds. Mainly just making sure you are a citizen of the good ol' USA, and havn't gotten busted illegally exporting or anything like denounced citizenship, etc.

    M1061 trailer. Them landing legs are a bit sloppy and have some lean on them. They also may not have the pins fully in the slots. They have them on GP now and then so you can get an idea of auction value before deciding what to pay for the junkyard one.

    Issues with SF-97

    Oh. My EUC cleared quickly from other EUC checks by GL. That alone will take up to 3-4 months or less. Then they start the SF97 after you are cleared so as to not get paperwork rolling on what could be a non-sale. I figured I would be doing good to make it into my title office with my forms...

    You still waiting on EUC to clear or GP to mail your SF97?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The antifreeze was added after the dryer with the old stock dryer still installed. I put around 8 hours on it before putting the new dryer on as I wanted to work out the bugs before putting the new one on. I didn't get a chance to change that cartridge yet. I an hoping to today. I have to drop...

    Issues with SF-97

    I got an email that my SF97s were mailed Friday 11/10/2017. Auctions won 06/28/2017. EUCs cleared three weeks after that.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I considered that, being the desiccant cartridges I have were in MRAP annual maintenance kits. I guess I just assumed all the more I drive it, I could squeeze a good bit more time out of it than that. But we all know what happens when we ASSUME! Thanks, Chris.
