With rare exceptions military vehicles travel in groups so they can recover each other. They are built to go off road but that is not their primary function. Anytime we went to the field we always sent an Advance Party and Quartering Party to look for the path of least resistance and a good...

Those fittings plug the holes where the hose goes into the back side of the axle and the hole where the CTIS fitting come out on the rim side. You also have to plug the lines up under the truck that go to the manifold on top of the axle.

This is how I capped one axle when I had to do a swap. I got the fittings at NAPA and a hydraulic hose place.

:tigger: Loading the power unit only up on a trailer can result in a "Pucker factor 10" situation in a matter of seconds......ask me how I know.:shock::shock:

On the bright side HETT's are selling cheap.auaaua

You are aware that the HETT has the turning radius of the Queen Mary compared to a tractor...right?

Why not go to a truck salvage place and buy some sliding 5th wheel setups? They should bolt right on to the 5 ton frame rails.

To those of you that posted the pics with me and Tigger (and Elmo), thank you.

We have often had discussions about having a "Command Retreat" on Saturday evening but it has always been shelved due to issues that pop up. I think this year it will take place. I'm sure there are enough of us old soldiers at the rally to make it the respectful and honorary event that it should...

I'm absolutely floored. He called the other day and we talked about the upcoming rally. He was already bubbling with enthusiasm and was excited that Joanie from Durhamtown was going to use him again as an onsite medic. He loved to do that and was very good at it. I connected with Matt on so many...

I once owned a M816 and I'm currently babysitting a M936. I'll take the M936 hands down for ease of operation. Everything is engaged from the cab and it's a lot quieter. As Jeff said you can't do the automatic swap due to all the plumbing.

Mechanical advantage is your friend.

The truth is always stranger (and usually more interesting) than fiction. Great recovery story.

L I'll B, M R Ducks.:shock:

PM Sandcobra....he works at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, GA. There is a scrapper there that (at one time) had a bunch of those hitches. He can give you the guys contact info.

What kind of MV addicted fool buys 5 trucks at a time?:cookoo: Errrrrr.........wait........never mind. :oops:

It was a target vehicle at one time......something like that usually has a checkered history. Some of them were liberated off of firing ranges.

When I towed the M923 from Atlanta with the M927a2 I was running 60+ on the interstate and back roads. Check the towed truck regularly but don't let the swaying scare you. Try to hold a steady speed and leave plenty of room to escape in case of an emergency. Do not get in a position that...

In Texas, in the summer it would be real, real, real hot. And loud and rough riding. And use a lot more fuel than a smaller vehicle.

Looks like it came from an Alabama National Guard unit. Read the whole article. http://readme.readmedia.com/621st-Troop-Support-Command-has-Change-of-Command-Ceremony/2208854
