    Show us your Military Trailers

    http://www.towingworld.com/articles/TowingLaws.htm This should help but keep in mind it's produced by an RV website and is written with that tow vehicle in mind (and they refer to double trailers as triple tow). As mentioned commercial endorsements for doubles or triples is not demonstrated...

    Show us your Military Trailers

    I believe the confusion is Washington and Oregon are explicit in that double tow is NOT legal with a passenger vehicle aka "pick-up truck". Of course a Pick-up when operated by a driver with commercial double endorsement is no longer a simple passenger vehicle. In fact an open bed pick-up in...

    If that's for the California remark, check the regulations... Last I checked you need at a minimum a Non-Commercial Class A with doubles endorsement to double tow.

    Value of a M820A1 Bed

    Condition is a huge proponent of value. In the end value is what someone is willing to pay, and that particular item is not easy to ship.

    Reason for 2 batteries on 12v conversion

    My F350 needs both batteries when its below 0°F, CCA is effected by temperature, colder the battery lower the amperage. Colder the motor longer the starter needs to spin before she starts, thus 2 batteries in anticipation of cold climate. Not sure if this applies to Texas trucks, but here in...

    M923a1

    I think that greatly depends on where you are looking at them at. IMO $5k plus or minus depending on condition is a reasonable price. Try and keep in mind that what you think is fair what I think is fair and what others think are fair are different stories. Much the same as a 3 bedroom...

    Noted Noted Like I said I really could careless, I won't lose any sleep over it. Just citing potential examples, as mentioned most of my posts are pretty worthless.

    Threads

    you mean new reply, vs new thread right. Bad enough we get the same topic from people not searching. Still doesn't solve the problem that if something changes, like say the effect of Ice on Behr paint, would it really be helpful to a new guy reading the thread that on post 462 you realized...

    Threads

    Well this sucks, I often delete my threads as most the crap I have to say is worthless... And editing, I sometimes come back days later to edit posts, this will really hamper those with build threads that post a blank post 10-12 times and edit the thread as they make progress. Can we ask why...

    Proud new owner of M923A1

    basic - A1 is really just tires A1 - A2 is engine So basic - A2 is Engine and tires. I break it down completely in another thread. All three (basic, A1, A2) M939 series trucks are covered in the same manual, so there is not enough to justify a different set of tech data. There is no A3.

    kenworth coe k100

    Here's the thing on the APC it only runs the trailer, so the truck heater doesn't run. Technicians get cold so on site they most likely ran the APC as required for trailer power but the truck idled as well just to keep it warm and winter shelter. You also have to remember speed limits are...

    First time M-35 owner in ND

    The Military is starting to scare me...

    We aren't allowed to jump a truck in the USAF, that's MP's job. Unfortunatly I agree, I've worked with people who didn't see a wrench till they arived at tech school. The world is full of stupid, and ignorant. Most USAF vehicles are common commercial trucks with no slave set-up. In fact my...
