    M915 headlight switch problem. Odd. Clues below:

    I thought the marker and blackout had their own switches respectively, and that the headlight switch just controls running and headlights. I'd have to walk out and look to be sure. I agree though it is a bad design and I stop using the original "jeep" part awhile back.

    Ford COMBATT replica

    Which you needed anyways to make up the ridiculous back spacing of HMMWV rims. Looks good.

    Trouble titling 5ton in MN

    I wouldn't trust the paperwork, GL is know for errors. Actually verify the vin on the truck and request the title for that number. If they match no biggy but if they don't you could be in for a world or hurt down the road. And just because the memory is still fresh and painful, make sure you...

    Atomic Annie and Two Prime Movers

    I'm not sure a 280mm equates to neighbor defense, unless you are talking cross town rivals. Bit to much for the neighbor across the street but anyone 5-20 miles from home watch out.

    Atomic Annie and Two Prime Movers

    The W9 and W19 weapons were both shells. Meaning they were the projectile and that powder charge was required. As a side note the W23 was developed following the Army's W19 for the Navy, and could be fired from Iowa class battleships. All have been retired and the fuel recycled. Actually DOE...

    Atomic Annie and Two Prime Movers

    They may fire right up but there are no artillery rounds left for the M65.

    M916-M920 Tech & Tips

    The tractor already went to auction on a 2 letter auction site.

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I don't think your notion of Decepticon is on point. Everything i know of you tells me you'd side with the Autobots. "For a time, we lived in harmony. But like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil." Optimus Prime 2007

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    But are you going to go with an Autobot or Decepticon.

    The Chieftain Arrives! Or the travails of moving armor...

    You should do a detailed post to match the "so you want a big truck" thread, titled "So you want a Tank". Always love living vicariously through your posts on heavy armor. Glad it made it home.

    m1009 frees stuck tractor trailer

    The Freightliner is helping itself, it just needs the snachin' strap to over come the lack of friction at the drive tires. Completely believable in my opinion. And people thought wheel chocks just kept things from rolling away...

    Do I need a permit to drive my M923 home?

    I've always had my vehicles hauled off locally and picked them up at that location vs GL. That allowed me to get the VIN and other info for Registration and Insurance. Also keep in mind some of these vehicles may not be entirely safe to drive home. It's impossible to say what Uncle Sam did...

    Accident aftermath (M1009)

    I agree make sure you file a report, I wouldn't have left without her information regardless if she took mine. I don't think the true intent of drive thru is to consume food in the vehicle, at least not in my experience. It's a shortcut over the grocer. Now a drive in...

    Directions from I-10 into Fontana

    The address is Beech so I imagine you should turn north on Beech from Slover to get to their building. So I-10, South on Citrus, West on Slover, North on Beech. Edit: Via Google, it looks like you have to back track east on Boyle from Beech a bit. Looks like its a legit drive vs west on...

    Az Registration cost for a 1990+ 5 ton {not yet historic}

    The laws covering those questions are available at your main library, you can even copy them for a fee. Some states have them online. ND uses a tier system based on age and GVWR. No breaks till 40 though... Also you can drop your GVW however again state law governs, in ND they minimum...

    M871 / m872

    The system at work doesn't allow me to login because of its internal security system. In a given day I see "blocked" in all its forms a dozen or more times, mostly messing around but collage pages, aerospace websites, and even a few DoD sites get blocked. They are so few manned they just block...

    M871 / m872

    Zee, beat me to it cause i can't log in at work. However the TM isn't all inclusive, there are most liekly trailers you can tow that aren't listed. There are also caution's against certain trailers

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I like the fact you put oshkosh mud flaps on it.
