Does any one know of any law that says "X" amount of DRMO / DOD Etc. Et Al HAS to reach Civilian hands less retailers/auctioneers ?

It would be HUGE bad business for govplanet to come out of the gates being very expensive. I am of the opinion in the first year we will see a lot of great deals...just makes sense for a new business, it makes NO SENSE to open up shop scaring people away...

Did you turn it upside down over the top of maybe a log round and go after it w/ a sledge hammer? I will be catching up to you soon doing that task! Yikes! Right now the 15/16" nuts are ON THERE HARD. I put a 36" pipe wrench on a socket and had the wife stand on the wheel and alls I did was...

I am still stirring up dust here but looks like there are; 5/8" Split Rim Studs and 3/4" Split Rim Studs and I "think" they each take a different O-Ring! BUT, I was just told by an old timer that the larger of the 2 O-rings will work in both...FWIW. There is conflicting info all over the...

I just can't find it. Where in the M939 TM's does it tell you exactly how to split these rims and replace a tire on a rim. Thank but I want to read what the book says EXACTLY. Does anyone know where it is??????????????????????????? Where exactly are the part numbers for the O-Rings and tire...

5 Ton Lug Nut Torque Finally got a replacement XL tire and I moved all my wheels around so the Michelin XL tire Chevron Lug pattern is pointing forward on both sides. I looked up the torque for the lug nuts for singles, 14:00R20 tires and it is; Tighten forty stud nuts 450-500 lb-ft As taken...

SETOYOTA, FWIW... If there were a way to look at every post I ever posted here you will see where I linked to a DOD? website where the DOD? was looking to get rid of over 100 HUMVEE type trucks to ONE Contractor whom would make said DOT legal. They were specific in saying that a onezee...

This is like saying; " I voted for a demoblican, but I now see they lied!" Yep..."IT" happens, ALWAYs.

I was under the impression that the DOD was looking for a responsible party to take possession of a LOT of these trucks and make them DOT approved and then they would be OK for sale. Perhaps this happened. . . But what do I know... :-)

Now add 10 Ton and tell me all about it...with all due respect indeed sir.

Do yourself a HUGE favor. Get a medium towbar and tow another 5ton for about 100 miles. Up and down and flat and forward and even some reverse. Thise trannys are made to HAUL HEAVY HEAVY LOADS, they are not cushie civilian nice trannys! THEY are MONSTERS and trying to tame them is real hard...

As I said prior, I finished the upgraded Alternator system. These parts are NOT, I repeat ARE NOT available NOS anywhere on the planet. Ask me how I know this. I looked for MONTHS, trust me, they can not be found unless you find a wrecked truck or you spend about $3500.00 and wait weeks and...

I finished up a lil box I picked up off CL. First a .25" floor when down that will support chains and shackles and I extended it on the DS so I can add a piece of 11.75" Grip Strut so I can walk easier from the winch catwalk to the bed catwalk. No welds to the frame. It has 2 U-Bolts that go...

NOW that I have my Class A I can wrap up a few little loose ends I have on my M916 and drive to the CHP office for a check out, the DMV could not find my FMVSS sticker so they are making me have the CHP certify the truck prior to a plate being. issued. I will enjoy this upcoming drive...

bingo! Lol!

Still working on some pics royal, I have been busy getting my Comercial Class A CDL, and as of yesterday early AM I got it! The curriculum is definitely is not for quiters, nor does one need to be a genius but having sharp but gentle hand to feet to ears to eyeballs group coordination skills...

Arrrgh! On Pg 62 of same manual #2 it says; 2. Apply a sealant similar to PERMATEX ® High-Temp Red RTV Silicone Gasket to the outside of the seal. Use only enough to provide a thin coat to prevent any excess from contaminating the rubber lip(s) of the seal. It is okay to apply a slight...

You will reap what you sow. If you sow and reap a little and learn and survive you gain knowledge. If you take that knowledge and sow cutting the BS while keeping the quality up HIGH you will reap a LOT more. The 5-Ton is an awesome platform. Make a bolt on easy to install plow and sander...

Please accept my apologizes for the link confusion...But I do believe I nailed it above now.

Click the 2nd link above AGAIN after you refresh. Go to Pg 40 item #2 It says; "Coat the O.D. of a new seal with a bore sealant (Permatex or equivalent) prior to installation."
