If there is someone in your area that has a heavier vehicle (HETT) you could flat tow it a short distance (assuming the tires will handle it) to get it home.
In my area it cost 300 bucks for a commercial wrecker driver to take his keys out of his pocket.
If it has been sitting that...

When I had my M816 money pit I called my insurance lady and told her what I had. She asked me what I was going to do with it and I said mostly use it as a boom truck but that I might occasionally use it to tow a new toy home. She said in that case you need commercial tow insurance. I...

I forwarded all the info I got from EPA to Clinto and he will share it with other principles. It may be posted here if the mods think it necessary. There are people in high places working on this in several agencies so don't think everybody is sitting on their hands. I spoke to my...
It's a multi-fuel 5-ton so it was under powered the day it was built. I have seen worse (not mine but parked in my yard) but to completely restore that would put you 5k in the hole at least.
Right now I'd say it would make a good parts truck. The vise on the front bumper is worth a few hundred...
Soni put a manual transmission in his highly modified M920. He's a master of fabrication and if he can't do it it can't be done.
That being said if I were going to lose the automatic I'd lose that double breasted boat anchor of an engine with it. I'd drop a 600 HP Cummins in there and call it good.

I have had two conversations with an EPA official in Washington DC since the trucks were pulled, one the day after the sales were stopped and one today (not too sure how far up the food chain he was).
I was on my best Public Affairs Supervisor behavior and we had a civil conversation...

ke5aua......You realize that you are now as infamous as Gimpy (unbeaten deuce roll over champion 5 years in a row). Not bad for a relative newbie.

It would be an interesting project but finding a cab might be a challenge unless you could find one that had been rear ended by a Swift truck and totaled out by the insurance company.
I remember a wrecked one being sold out of Kansas last year but it had some cab damage. Looked like...

I've killed several copperheads here at Akenback Acres. The Boss Lady found an empty skin in front of the feed room last week and she still hasn't went back in there. If I know for sure it's not a viper I'll let it live, if it spooks me it's a dead snake.

Daytodog, they are great on the farm. I have a friend that owns a large seed farm. He has a M932 that he hauls a chemical tank with and he has four M915's that pull grain trailers. My M927A2 has the 8.3 and IMHO it is the best engine ever put in a tactical vehicle and I have driven a...

Please consider you invitation to the GA Rally rescinded.:shock:
Just kidding, but leave Murphy at home.

I won't presume to tell the owner what to do and I'm not trouble shooting the commentor but to repair this vehicle properly it needs to either go to a military Third Shop (not doable since it is now a civilian vehicle) or back to Oshkosh to be rebuilt. Turning it over to a repair shop...
