    MRAP Brake Pod Identification

    Take it to a truckpro or a fleetpride. Should have number. The new one will have a rod longer than yours, cut it to length of your old one with a hacksaw. My friend has a lot of new various brake chambers he just won from GL, we may have one. Call me.

    M17A3 Decon apparatus ideas?

    155mm, I thought about bidding on one of those to use as a steam washer for equipment. I have one in storage for a fellow SS member.

    M818 WO/W info requested!

    Sometimes the insurance company or tag office adds x's or 0's to the end of a vin # to make it 17 digits, to get along with computer systems when registered/insured. Be sure that isn't the case.

    The beast died after hitting a bump!!

    I don't yet have enough experience with the gear reduction starters, if they actually use less current or not, and so on. I did replace one of my starters with a gear reduction starter. Diameter is definitely smaller, and this makes a huge difference when reinstalling, because your...

    M-923 Headlight electrical short

    What he said. Each headlight is grounded with a short jumper near the back of the headlight, on the hood. Run a secondary wire for ground to each headlight, then ground to frame, continue on to starter and ground there where main ground bolts to starter. I even added additional ground wire...

    Ft Riley KS to Ft Carson CO and back, leaving in an hour...

    I need a couple more M1082. They are useful and go well with a 5 ton. My dream trailer is M1095.

    Ft Riley KS to Ft Carson CO and back, leaving in an hour...

    I have seen this bumper, and pics don't show the quality of the welds, or the design of it. Works really well with m105 and M1082. The magnetic lights are the way to go, just make sure you take duct tape and zip ties with you when you buy a set of the lights. Dwnorton1, I have a M1082 in my...

    HMMWV Wisconsin to Texas

    Very bold statement indeed. But sometimes the truth hurts. I own a business, have multiple insurance policies, DOT #, authority, and every other thing required by the goobermint to operate and conduct business legally. And sometimes I simply cannot compete against others who don't play by the...

    HMMWV Wisconsin to Texas

    Do NOT use uship. I did it one time. They are crooks and liars. Starving good honest hardworking people to death. Never again.

    M51 Dump truck questions

    Red is supply and the blue is to activate the brakes on the towed vehicle. You can also use a properly plumbed air hose to power any air tool to work on your truck or another beside it, and air up your tires.

    Need new rim studs.

    Titan makes the rims. Maybe they will sell parts direct. They also make Ag tractor and trailer rims.

    MV road trip, (not driving)

    I suggest Mt. Lemmon near Tucson. SS member 98G took me there. Pretty cool. Castle Bravo is nearby also. PM 98G he can probably tell you a few places to visit around Tucson and Phoenix. Bring water and Sunglasses, sun tan lotion and good shoes. Don't ask me why..........

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Could be a petcock but unlikely unless someone has recently used the petcock. Most likely cause of the slow drip is the extreme cold temperatures. I have 3 dump trucks, been driving/repairing them for 12 years now. I have a detroit series 60 that does this in one spot by the intercooler...

    M923A0/A1 vs. M923A2? (Possible Future M923A0 owner)

    Csm Davis brings up some good points, especially about weight. I could see the 8.3l being a better candidate for a winch truck, using the lighter motor to offset the weight of the winch. Another difference between the 2 trucks is sound/noise level. A NHC-250 makes much more noise and is...

    M923A0/A1 vs. M923A2? (Possible Future M923A0 owner)

    I regularly get 7.1 mpg in my M923A0 or A1 with NHC-250. I would really like to own a nice A2. However I feel that there is nothing wrong with the NHC-250 and it's design. Big slow moving heavy parts trumps high speed lightweight parts most of the time. After recovering quite a few trucks...

    I hurt, from the tips of my fingers to the ends of my toes.

    Don't forget fuel treatment to prevent gelling and a spare fuel filter. I would purchase 2 spare new batteries as well.
