Unknown part Well, this request sure had me curious, so I did some research. I searched every single public use document on Logsa for that NSN, no hits. The part number for the CUCV control modulator is 12034592 which crosses to NSN 2320-01-123-6827. I researched that NSN, no cross reference to...

RE: Bigger blaster? johhnyx, tell us more! Do you have a link to a web page describing this method? Photo's? It sounds really interesting. And..... Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Do you have MV's? What? -Sarge

Bigger blaster? Okay, now we're serious. What size is your current compressor? CFM is the most important question, PSI is the next most important question. Also, how big a blaster do you need/want? Any good blaster you buy will have the CFM requirements on it, or in it's book. The seller of the...

The 'military' answer is to put them 180 degrees apart. In fact, if someone changed a flat and lined them up, we would find the offender, summon him to Vehicle Maintenance and have him take the outer wheel off and put it back on at 180 degrees. The logic was that 'tis almost impossible to air...

Snad blasting I had my snads blasted in Hong Kong 30 years ago. Very painful. Penicillin was the answer! (It's a joke) hee-hee -Sarge

Beadlock/runflats M1075, yes they were authorized in our 5-tons. Otherwise we would not have used them. (Grin) Only in the super singles, though. They do not work in split rims, only two piece bolt-togethers. I never noticed any difference in brakes, acceleration or suspension. I only knew...

RE: mounting beadlocks I forgot to answer the other questions... We used those in our 5-tons fitted with super singles. They are beadlocks and also runflats. Unless you do a lot of off-roading, or you actually use your CTIS, don't bother putting these in. They are very good when you get down to...

mounting beadlocks Get them as warm as possible. Sit them out in the sun on a hot day or in front of a heater inside. Get a honking great cargo strap. Get Arnold's big brother to start cranking that strap right around the opposite two edges of the beadlock. When the beadlock is almost touching...

Good undercoat I can recommend POR15 products. Their website is www.por15.com , and no, I don't own stock in their company. I painted the underside of my Jeep, to include the frame, a few years ago. Unbelievable results! The stuff is incredible, not a single spot of rust after beating my Jeep...

Big truck insurance I don't know the deal in Alabama, but here in Texas State Farm insures my stuff for $78 to $100 a year. The catch is, they are all registered as historic vehicles. Club events, parades, airshows, maintenance runs, that's pretty much it. Give them a call.... -Sarge

8x8 That is AWESOME!!!! I want one! Incredible drivetrain but a pity about the tiny engine. I've always been a big fan of Land Rovers, it's the first thing I ever drove in the military. Must be a buggar getting 8 snow chains on it. If you ever get tired of it, I'm interested. Is it aluminum...

M60A3 manuals I just checked Logsa, the M60A3 manuals are not for public distribution, too bad. The Military Museum of Texas (Not certain about that name) has an operating M60A3, you might want to give them a call. They are in Houston. Good luck, -Sarge

Welcome! Welcome Ian! Always good to have Brits on SS, very happy that you found us! Although I am now retired from the US military, I also served in the British military for a few years, mostly fighting Tong in Hong Kong and trying to stay alive in Northern Ireland, those were dark days. Born...

Deuce brakes- no problem! I wish that my brakes ran as cool as yours! Seriously, it sounds like you do not have a brake problem. Back in the day (ahhhh... memories) when we would convoy all over creation, it was standard procedure for the entire convoy to stop after the first 10 to 20 miles to...

George at White Owl Parts saves the day! Well, it was getting down to nut-cutting time. I've needed a new radiator for several weeks, but next weekend is our local school Veteran's Day appreciation display. A couple of thousand kids are brought through our display and given talks about the...

Expandible bodies Well, I see that the original post was almost a year ago. Did you ever buy it? I would absolutely pay $800 for one of those bodies. Even if I only used it as a storage shed, it would still be worth that much cash to me. Because of all the other photo's showing expando vans, I...

MSgt Half-Mast again! After posting the PS mag's reply, I noticed that the print was kind of small, here it is again, but hopefully legible. -Sarge

PS magazine's answer Well, this is what MSgt Half-Mast had to say about this subject in February 1999. He is an official spokesman for the US Army on MV matters. -Sarge

FINALLY! Rory posted pictures of the Dog on SS!! Having crawled into, out of, on top of and underneath 'The Dog', truth is, it's a superb vehicle and the photo's don't do it justice. He has great plans for it....but whoops.... I've said enough.

Peter, the way Mogens got to be in the USAF? His mother was American, his father Danish. I had something similar myself. My mother was Native American (Cherokee) and my father was Irish. I was born and raised in England and because Dad moved around I got to live in nice places, like Abu Dhabi...
