Power steering fluid, transmission fluid and 10W oil are all very similar in viscosity but have other characteristics that they differ in. Dexron III ATF would be my first choice. I'm sure that more than once one of these trucks had power steering fluid used to top off the system. If you can't...

It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I have a very nice M1028 that sat in a cave in Norway as part of the Marine's PrePositioning program that currently has 9,000 original miles on it. This truck like yours is quite rare and I've offered it up in exchange for a clean M1009...

I picked up member EdMontana's truck this morning. Another rolled out on a gooseneck trailer. If this applies to anyone, Gov Planet Albany is open on Saturday mornings and allow loadouts from 0700 to 1100 currently because of the volume of equipment they have on site.

Let's see if a picture of my 5 ton "working" will add up to enough votes!

7 tons (MTVR's) have a CAT C12 as delivered 425 hp and they run 16R20's. They don't notice the meat of the tires, they have more than enough power and could likely be turned up with a simple computer modification / tune.

I went to the Gov Planet yard today to check the condition of the HMMWV that I will be picking up for a member on Saturday. I was informed that the clog in the pipeline has been cleared and they have a lot of HMMWV's to release. Gentlemen, check you e-mails as your trucks are probably...

Geardoc, Make a trip down and come get your stuff. The local yard manager is easy to work with and will give you a reasonable amount of time to retrieve your items as long as you stay in contact with him. If it's an item you're close to losing, I can go pick it up with my 5 ton. I've got a...

I got good news today, member EdMontana got his release and I'm back in business! I hope to get his truck and 3 others off the base soon. I've got release paperwork for one and I'm ready for more. Just a note, I'm a hobbyist like most on here. Recovering trucks and equipment is not my full...

3rd week of October, 16-20.

infedel got me, I have to bow out of my previous commitment to purchase your A/C kit. It is a nice kit and someone will be lucky to get it at such a low price. I've got to fix my Trans Am which ate a cam lobe or lifter in early December and I need to prioritize. For the first time I wish it...

Good to know, research and let me know what the package deal with a compressor mount would be to bolt to a NHC-250. Thanks Kindly.

Sir, put me down for that kit tentatively. Is it a standard Sanden compressor? I'll have to see if Simp still has a compressor bracket available but that may be just what I need to roll windows up on hot days in my M939A1.

What does this kit consist of? This trip may now be on my radar along with a friend who'd be interested in Deuce parts.

The only advice I could offer is use a diesel engine oil since they tend to still have Zinc in them in levels above the oils available for gas burning engines. The truck does look nice and I wish you a safe ride home.

+2, you can view the rockers on the center head by removing the oil filler cap and having a friend crank the engine over. No movement while cranking means the camshaft not turning. If it was trying to fire slightly with the return line pinched, I'm think everything is turning. Not that I'm a...

You are very Welcome Ma'am. I heard it quite a few times today on my way to Charleston, SC and back and thought kindly on the memories with Ron. I have no good words that could comfort you. I can only say this, he went to Glory doing what he loved. I listened to a sermon on the radio that...

Nice Buy. I honestly miss my A2 but when the M923 showed up my better half made it clear something had to go.

Half your life you struggle Half your life you fly Half your life makin' trouble Half your life makin' it right One day I'm the exception Most days I'm just like most Some days I'm headed in the right direction And some days I ain't even close I'm a little bit steady but still little bit...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzuwdxEJfQA I'm not sure why your truck is not running if you have 40 psi while cranking. Maybe the injectors are junk. Please watch this video to understand the basics of the PT Fuel Injection system.

Drove mine to get some ice cream today. It sat for nearly a month with no love. I wanted to make sure the fuel system was sealed after converting to a spin on filter set-up and new injection pump. Sarge started up just fine, ran down the road and looked good doing it.
