    Artisan's M916

    I don't trust none of that piping anymore for that InterLock Valve. I think I will open up the pneumatic schematic and duble check it all. I do not know what you mean by "Quad Lock" Is that the rear axles locking up as well as the front axle? ( I appreciate the input! )

    U-2 Ground Ops

    Probably to re-assure pilot that the taxi-wheels fell off and to do one last "walk-around" preflight by qualified personnel. I noticed on the top canopy that the very front window was recessed. I almost want to call BS and that might be a bit of misinformation...sop.

    How NOT to reseat a tire on an M886

    Today at Azusa Canyon, CA I was cruising my M916 and a guy flags / stops me and climbs up onto the rig and asks me if my truck has enough air to reseat a bead. I look over and see maybe a 16" rim w/ a 34" tire that is like 14" wide that they popped the tire off the rim, the tire and rim were...

    Artisan's M916

    You mean the gal whom I spoke to on film, saying ; You got your finger right in front of the lens. ...and do you mean the one whom barked back something like; NO I DON'T!!! You mean THAT person? That is my beloved Babis, My living ANGEL, my doting, brilliant, genius, gorgeous wife! I don't...

    Artisan's M916

    It was the first day for me in the dirt w/ the M916 today. I had not tested the front axle so I set myself up so if it did not work I would not be stuck and started testing and IT DID NOT WORK. After dinkin' around w/ things and listening and feeling the T/C it finally dawned on me why it was...

    Azusa Canyon - Sunday 11/23/14

    There was an M925A1 and an M916 and I think 3 CUCV's. Weather was great, dust blew downstream where we were not. I bet those guys who popped a wheel off there rim are still trying to scoop the mud out of it. I gave them a full can of Quick Start so they could try to explode it back on the rim...

    YOU DIDN'T READ POST #6 DID YOU? snip Doable if you find a truck CLOSE and if it is almost good to go from jump street. Adding 1600-20 tires will cost you about $2-3K roughly. All depends. To buy a really nice truck that someone gambled on and fixed everything will cost you big. I have spent...

    You have to get the TM's, specifically TM 9-2320-273-20 to verify the following. Within it I found the normal system pressure is "(2350 psi maximum)" but the auxiliary outlet ports are labeled at 2000 PSI 22 GPM , the ports appear to be 3/4" NPT. Here is a pic of the back of my winch...

    Show us your Military Trailers

    I think it is like a 2007. The DOD paid over $77K EACH for them. 22 of them were sold out of Rock Island in the very recent past. They carry a good 15,000 pounds PLUS the trailer itself. I am tricking mine out so I can drive on it / load it w/ an LMTV LMHC (Light material Handling Crane) +++...

    A 5 Ton Headache

    I am skeptical on this post. It does not make sense to "me". Take a picture and elaborate... put the picture into a PAINT program on your box and point/label at what you did. STOP. DO you have the TM's for this truck? It is NOT 7 Million pages, and you will be WELL SERVED to look harder...

    My trailer is exactly like this one picture here, owned by another SS member. His picture is sweet... :-) It self loads and unloads 20' Shipping containers loaded, to about 15,000 pounds. 3 banger Perkins runs the hydraulic winch.
