    RBU behind deuce?

    As I understand it the reason there is a flange on the rear axle is so they did not have to have two different axles on the rear....if you needed to replace an axle you could use either rear axle off a parts truck or order a new axle and not have to worry about getting the wrong one. The rear...

    M923A2... Common Issues/Review

    Since you will be using them "as intended" you should read and re-read the TM's to get familiar with the truck. One issue I remember from Fort Benning is that the transmission bolts were prone to back out if they were not retorqued occasionally. The super singles are nice but they weigh...

    RBU behind deuce?

    What would be more realistic (fab wise) would be to use a big electric motor to run the trailer. They now have a diesel-electric HEMMT that uses electric motors to power the vehicle. The Diesel-Electric Hybrid HEMTT A3 Lean by OSHKOSH - Diesel Power Magazine If they put the same motors on a...

    What were the squirrels stashing under your intake manifold?

    Years ago before truckstops got fancy and had private showers the facilities were much like a school locker room in some of them. Several of us were running together in convoy style and stopped for a shower at a truckstop out west. We all carried our stuff in and were getting ready to go...

    Oily vent pipe

    Also known as a "slobber tube" for obvious reasons........nothing to worry about as long as nothing is pouring out of it......vapor and a smidge of oil is OK.

    Kudzu "kudzuol" and a multifuel?

    M35a2 recovery Alabama to Chicago

    That may mean engine oil.........the fording plug is ahead of the transmission. Could be rear main seal........keep an eye on it. If the clutch starts slipping you may have to spray brake cleaner up in there to keep the clutch operating until you get home.
