    Oh Dear Lord! I just bought a 5 ton from Ft Rucker in AL. Now what?

    You may want to search and or ask around SteelSoldiers for a tire source in Alabama, 14R20 just in case. With your truck having the CTIS I would plan on every tire that is sitting flat to blow on the way home. Your inspector should be able to report on that ahead of time. If its one or two...

    Oh Dear Lord! I just bought a 5 ton from Ft Rucker in AL. Now what?

    Any progress with the GL guy at Ft. Rucker? When you get that animal home to Nashville, let me know, I'd like to bring my 5 ton up from Murfreesboro, TN and see your A2, I've got an A1 and am considering picking up an A2 but would like to put my hands on one first. Also, there is another...

    Oh Dear Lord! I just bought a 5 ton from Ft Rucker in AL. Now what?

    I found a guy on SS by posting my need, also you can search on SS "inspection Ft. Rucker". If the truck runs and drives in the auction video then my greatest concern would be the CTIS system leaking and the tires sitting flat. The singles have stiff sidewalks and it ruins them to sit flat...

    Oh Dear Lord! I just bought a 5 ton from Ft Rucker in AL. Now what?

    I have a M923A1 in Murfreesboro, TN. PM me if you want to take a look and talk about your recovery, I'll even let you drive it. I drove mine 800 miles home from Ft. McCoy Wisconsin. You just need to be prepared and it helps to have a local inspect it so you know what your dealing with. i had...

    NH-250 Supercharged??

    Cycletek. It looks like you have the means to replace the motor if your idea fails. I like the idea and am glad to see some out of the box thinking. It's one thing to tinker with your daily driver when it's all you have, but for most of us these are toys and we can play with them how we see...

    More Power From NHC 250 in M939 Series Trucks With Allison Transmissions

    Would the SuperCharge address the hi exhaust temp issue with adding a turbo on the NHC-250? With the lack of oilers, everything I have read says that turbo's (if not well managed) will burn up the pistons on the 250. So my question is, would a supercharger raise gas temps too? I'm not a...

    Where to get paint

    FYI, I spoke to my local Sherwin Williams about carc and they directed me to Nashville, TN which is their local automotive division store. If your local store says they can't get carc, ask them where there nearest automotive store is.

    bought a USMC truck

    my 1986 M923A1 has lockers in all 3 axles. I took it to a friends gravel container yard where they have a massive fork lift and chained it up. I put it in low and mashed the peddle, truck jumped up and down a few times I hit the brakes, took it out of gear, set the parking break and went to...

    Civil Lawsuit Regarding M109A3

    I agree, unless you have the money, I wouldn't waste my time with lawyers. I would however play their game, it would be most satisfying to have every pickup truck in the HOA removed as well. Or to park a junker that fits the regulation out front.

    New Guy from Maryville, TN

    Congrats on the buy, some good trucks in that lot. I 2nd the notion for the "Knoxville Military Vehicle Club" I went to their camp out at Fall Creek Falls last month, great bunch of guys. From what I heard they attend parades and other events in the Knoxville area on a regular basis. I'm in...

    to recover or not to recover M105A2

    Recovery was easy, used a buddy's Tundra. Figured it was safer than my Nissan Frontier even though its within the tow rating, stoping was my concern it the hills of TN. Trailer is in great shape and had been in service recently, had new tires a good tarp and wiring and hoses look new. With...
