This is not about the truck so much but it relates. I found out from a FOIA request that my truck was stationed at Camp Fuji Japan. I was talking to a Marine the other day, and I mentioned I had a 7 Ton. She said that is cool. Then I said the truck was stationed in Camp Fuji and she said SHE WAS...

You can get a coin for that camp. https://www.challengecoin.com/marines/installations.html

I started a thread on fuel tank caps. I suggest you also cover the key way because water and junk can get in there. Mine got water in it, then froze, and then I could not get it off.

I created a thread on LED lights if you want to replace the filament bulbs. Jon

That makes sense. I know that there are a LOT of 7 Tons at Camp Legune. I have photos of some of them. I used the FOIA to get information on my truck. My 7 Ton was stationed in Camp Fuji, Japan. At least, that was its last station before returning to the USA. If anyone is interested I can...

So I thought LEDs were supposed to last a long time but one of mine didn't last so long. On my truck, the red LED on the drivers side rear went out. It was working intermittently but it finally died. So I took a look at it and did not see a connector for it and I thought that was strange but no...

I have a back up camera in all my other vehicles so I thought I would hook up one on the 7 Ton. I did not look forward to running a cable all the way from the back to the front so I checked into wireless backup cameras. I was not sure if the transmitted signal would make it through all the...

That's good news. It would be great to have locking handles - I just hope it is a good price.

I am not sure what NewEra means either. But I don't have it so it doesn't matter.

WOW! stathis, I have seen photos of the Greece ones before and they are really nice. The improvements/changes you guys made are really nice. Thank you for posting the photo and I hope you can keep us informed about what is happening over there. Jon

I have photos AND A VIDEO! The issue I found is that the M105A2 is not able to get the pintle ring high enough to just drop on the hook of the 7 Ton. It took three of us to lift the trailer and drop it on the hitch. When I took the trailer off the 7 Ton, I stuck some wood under the trailer jack...

Here is a video from the Marines showing the 7 Ton pulling the new water trailers, MK149. https://www.dvidshub.net/video/706863/hurricane-dorian-preparation-goettge-memorial-field-house

The manual is software. It is called EMS NG and there is no PDF. A computer is required to run the software while you work on the truck. I did some research and a software company in the USA makes it but I am not sure if they would sell it to us and if they did, I bet it would be very expensive...

WHAT!!! Austin is the only part of Texas I have visited. Dang.

I seen many Marine photos of the 7 Ton pulling a M105A2. I have both so I will get a photo of them together and post it.

I bought a BIG air impact wrench from Harbor freight but was disappointed to find that it does not work so great when run from the 7 Ton's air compressor. It works great when run from my shop compressor and it takes the lug nuts off good. I wish the Marines didn't paint the threads but I guess...

Well, I got bad news. Last week I had received a call from Austin, the yard manager at Yermo, and he said that they still could not find my truck. They had some theories about it but the truck had not been located. He was nice and we chatted for awhile. He said that someone from corporate would...
