Heading out Wed morning with my USAF flight line van (at least it's not my wife's Dodge Caravan like last year), and will probably overnight in the Talladega National Forest, arriving Thurs mid-day after fondling some Garands in Anniston. Tried to bring CSM Davis, but he says he will have to...

Yep, same happened with one of my trucks in the 2016 S.LA floods. Water through the air filter stopped the truck, but no permanent damage. Replace axle vents with nipples and tubing as SIMP5782 mentioned.

The world keeps getting smaller, doesn't it? Best I can recall, I worked on the barracks maybe the summer of 1970 or 1971? Yes to Mom's classwork, but she will neither confirm nor deny. It was at least 10 or 15 years after she retired before she was allowed to even travel to former Com-Bloc...

My Mom worked at NSA from 1962 thru 1984. When we were kids, she told us if anyone asked us what she did, to tell them she was just a secretary, but she retired as a high GS-11 analyst (roughly equivalent somewhere between a Captain and almost a Major), which was somewhat unusual for a woman in...

I'm like patracy, I'd love to have one. I keep hoping I can find one for a couple $K, but that's just a dream. They keep popping up on auction sites, but usually over $12K. Being retired has really cut down on my acquisition funds. Getting old sucks! Looking forward to seeing yours run at...

Did you have any air pressure built up when you bled the brakes? If not, maybe you didn't have the air-assist part of the air-over-hydrolic braking system. After the truck was started, the air pressure helped with the braking pressure. It's been awhile since I've messed with that system, and...

Glad you're secure, hope it's nothing critical ($)

Or a triple vehicle land train. I actually backed up an M101 hooked to a M1031 hooked to a M934 one time. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148952-2016-TX-MV-Rally/page10 - post #92 I also once backed up a M149 semi-trailer hooked on a tow dolly that was attached to a M923. I had...

My buddy bought what is probably a non-running M817 dump truck at Ft McCoy/Sparta WI. He lives in Florence WI, about 250 miles away. Anyone have a recommendation for a local hauler who could pick it up next week 6/12-15/18?

Backing up a short trailer is much harder than a longer trailer. If you can't see the trailer in the rear view or side mirrors when it is straight, tape a dowel rod vertically to the center of the trailer tailgate and watch it through the back window as you back up. If you can't use the back...

I use drums If you have 2 or more drums, you should always be able to have a full drum of fuel available for the generator (or to top off your trucks). Just put the drums in your truck or small trailer, and leave one empty drum placed where you want to store fuel. Fill the other drums at the...

Bill is scheduled for passage on the House Floor on May 16. After that, it goes for Governor signature.

From the photos, tires are not new, but have good tread and should be OK. Looks like the brake chamber is in pieces on the ground - not sure if the service brakes lock or are free with the chamber removed, but the other brakes will probably have to be caged or that air line plugged before the...

Senator Hewitt presented the "engrossed" (original bill with amendments incorporated) bill to the House Transportation Committee today, and responded to comments and questions from the Representatives. The bill was "reported favorably" with a 12-0 vote out of the Committee. It should reach the...

Email your Representative I agree, Sen Hewitt is on our side, and has worked hard to get our trucks back on the road. I was impressed talking to her and watching her in committee trying to push this bill through. If she was my Senator, I'd surely support her in the next election. As...

Or just upload the TMs to the CUCV or Generator Technical Manuals section so all can use.

How different states handle registrations have been in flux nationwide for several years for all former MVs. Whatever information is posted here may change quickly over time. There is some organization or group that is advising all state motor vehicle agencies that all former US military...

Refering to the TM 9-2320-272-10 for M934s, Table 1-10 gives front 90psi / rear 70psi for highways, and front 60psi /rear 30psi for cross country with 11x20 tires. Those pressures are assuming a full load, so you could probably reduce them for a smoother ride empty. I've seen a full range of...

Looks like the weather will be perfect - lows around 50 and highs mid 70s and partly cloudy to clear. Shame I can only bring a POV on Saturday for the day.

Sen Hewitt didn't leave, she just asked for the bill to be deferred since there were so many wording changes being suggested in the open committee meeting, and each one would require a separate amendment to the original bill. She wanted to get with John and Ann in a separate meeting to try...
