I'm still wondering how to get in PB's Will? I've had some great memories hanging out with the CAMO Crew over there in Columbus. I've probably damaged more stuff than I've helped. Ask PB about the 2011 Rally trip from Columbus to Union Point and he would likely tell you that it was the worst...
Simply named as "Big Trucks" by my oldest son about 4 years ago. The oldest is 7 and the youngest is 5 now. The other truck is a M1028 and his name is "Sarge".
I'm being silly but "what's NMC"? I think everything will be just fine and I won't likely get to tow anything. To keep my own card from being pulled, NMC means Non Mission Capable. I can bring a Hunter Medium but I only have 1 inch feet. I had some 3/4 inch feet but I gave them back to...
Happy with my assignment of "Wrecker Operator". That's what I do in the National Guard!!! I've never had an M816 but I have served on an M936A2 and the retrieval system is basically the same and the crane is exactly the same. Should be fun and I'll be there Saturday and will be arriving with...
Seems that alot of people use the AC60G's!!! Me too and no issues since I put them in. I went through a set of Wellman's in one winter and I had done the 12V "remove the resistor" mod before I put the Wellman's in. Won't go back to them as it was a pain to get them out as 5 of the 8 had...
The Marines have for years assigned a TAMCN number to assets. The D at the beginning of it tells me that it was a "Motor T" asset. The other 4 numbers referred to a configuration of an assigned asset. You can have two vehicles of the same NSN configured differently, you refer to the TAM...
Looking to see if I can get anymore entries. I've got to turn it in by the 22nd of November. So far we have 1 M1028 CUCV truck, 1 M35A2 under it's own power, 1 M1151 4 door "mock" armored HMMWV (looks real, doors are thinner), 1 M1089A2P1 (new, 675 miles, with LTAS cab) Wrecker, 1 M35A2 being...
PB, I didn't see if you posted it but what is SP time from the Compound? I want to make sure I'm about 30-45 minutes early to do a once over of my assigned truck. I'll promise to make sure the hood securing system is in place and secure. That only has to happen once in a lifetime. I touch...
I pulled a M1101 home tonight. It's only 1,500 hundred pounds and I still charged up hills with my M1028. I guess it depends on your definition of hills. No turn ups on my truck. It's just new with just over 6,200 miles showing.
I should also say that I apologize but have complied with alot of people who have followed this thread from the start. I owe an explanation if you will. I wanted to lift this truck and make it into one heck of a trail blazer. If you go a few pages back, you'll learn that my youngest son...
First 9. I should add that the random sprays of tan or brown are not paint marks. I live on a light tan sandy dirt road and the GA Rally had some brownish red clay this year. When clean, the truck has no random spots with one exception. When it was new, someone drove over a freshly painted...
Not sure how I missed your comments either. Shoot me a PM and I'll give you an e-mail address to message me at. I'll send you a TM that discussed the converting of about 1,500 USMC trucks from M54's to M809 Series trucks. Some where made A1's in that conversion as well.
DML, I'll have to get to work. You can see the stenciled markings in my first 2 posts in this thread but I'll do you one better. I'll try to take some pics with a ruler so that you can see exactly where they are in reference to some surrounding objects such as mirrors, windows, tailgate...
My Deuce is fine. I helped a friend finish his rear main, clutch install and clutch adjustment on his. We also replaced a U joint in the jack shaft and installed it between the transmission and transfer. Does anyone know why it's referred to as a "jack shaft"? It really is a question and I'm...
I don't have a clue. Mine sounds rough in the mornings as well when it's cold. My M1028 sounds worse on cold mornings. When they warm up and start to enjoy life again, all that clears and they are good to go!!! Enjoy every step when you get in and out of it. My daddy went on "cruise...
forward to 10:46 and watch. This was my Deuce along with Riddle's Deuce following in a funeral procession for LCPL Steve Sutton, USMC. God Bless His Soul. I have a few pictures of my Deuce in Veterans Day Parades as well. I wish I had a video of me driving my truck in the procession. I live in a...
PB, in reference to your response to 3D's post, I'll come up this weekend and drive "Proud American" to wherever it needs driving to if a mission comes up. Let me know and you have my cell number. If not, it's 229-364-2842. Call and I'll be there. I've even got a duty driver that goes by...
www.multilube.com Diesel owners will want the stuff sold in the clear jug and the product itself is clear. I also use it in my gas powered vehicles with good results. I do want to disclaim that I'm not in any way affiliated with them, they make a good product that I personally use. I like it...
