Well i’ll be damned. I thought stuart stevenson had the lm/fmtv contract. @SandBar Might look at those billboard companies and see if you can buy the old vinyl billboard material and have a tarp made specifically for your dump. Iv seen tractor and vehicle covers made out of the old vinyl...

I think that is a typo on the website. FMTVs were 5 tons, with the HEMET/PLS being the 10 tons. I may be wrong, since iv been out of the mil for 11 yrs, but im 99% sure im not.

From a muffler shop

I just replaced my muffler with a straight pipe on my 936A2 and only at idle, can i tell a difference. When throttled, i only hear the engine, even when im operating the crane, which is closer to the stack than on the 809 series.

Thanks.

Correct, i figured that much. The solenoid is engraved, 1, 2 and 3. As previously stated, ports 2 and 3 are, with no elec applied, out of the box, are ported/linked together. I blew in port 1, had no air flow, i took another breath, blew into port 2, and heard air out of port 3. I blew once more...

@simp5782 You got a wiring a d plumbing schematic for the above mention temp switch and air solenoid? The solenoid has 3 ports, line in, line out but cont figure the 3rd port. Ports 2 a d 3 are open together. Is port 1 line in, when 24v applied, port 2 becomes line out, closing off port 3...

I do carry leather saw chaps when i do recovery ops, but pissing rain, i didnt drag them out of the cab that day. That day, i was using the spare tire as an umbrella, and the cards were in my favor. Usually once i get a tree bucked to size, i throw the chaps over the cable and stand 15-20 feet...

I had my cable snap while yarding on a 4,000 walnut log. Luckily i was standing between my goonseneck and truck, with some twig size tree limbs hanging between the log and the trailer neck uprights. The limbs allowed the cable to ball up a d slow down before getting to the uprights. When the...

You evidently cant handle constructive criticism and advise on how not to kill yourself by not know how to operate your equipment. I watched a vid of a guy that, without knowing how to operate his new to him toy, not training, not certificate, balls up his helicopter. It can be heard, a...

Its amazing what the -10 will tell ya if a person just reads it

In your -10, operators manual, I used the table of content to find page 35, which explains the control levers and their functions and positions for operation and page 103 describes the operation sequence of the dump controls.

Do you have a manual for the truck yet? A manual will help, and could answer your questions faster than waiting a on a reply here.

It could be something as simple as that. I had an electrical component go out on my acft, and all bc of a simple ground, it caused me to chase my tail for a full day, and half the night prior. Sometimes, the simple things make us scratch our heads and wonder what the heck is going on

i guess i should have specified, i don't have a multi fuel, i have an 8.3 cummins, so I have to prime mine. Even if a piece of equip didn't come OEM with a primer pump, a person could add 1 if they are having issues with loosing prime. It doesn't have to be a manual either. I may even get a 24...

Iv got a bunch of -6 and -8 braided hyd line, and some -4. When i end up tearing into mine, I'm replacing everything i can with the braided hose. iv already got, it was getting thrown away, so i repurposed it. the military and faa may require a shelf life on the hose, but i don't.

The long cranks to start sound very much like a fuel delivery issue. Isolate your fuel system from the tank/s and use a 12 or 24 volt pump (simulating your in-take pump) , your choice, and pull fuel from a fuel can, with new hose running to the IP inlet and back into the same can. If it fires...

Its part of the BII, basic issue items, standard on nearly, if not, all military vehicles, especially wheeled units. Its called a pioneer kit.
