No way to tell that I can see. The Mack does have a passenger side fender mounted air cleaner but so do the LDS-465 trucks in the M39 series. Macks are actually pretty rare in my research but they are great motors in my opinion. Perhaps AMGeneral can enlighten us but I see nothing definitive...
Would love to see you there Jim along with anybody else. Surely all of ya'll know some MV owners who are not on SS. I can think of one and he has an M38 Jeep that is very nice, old olive drab with stars and from the road it looks nice as can be. I'll pay him a visit next weekend, introduce...
If you're committed to flat towing, I'll loan you a hunter medium bar and chains. For what you'd have in fuel driving a civy truck down here to get it and return it, you could likely have it towed professionally which would be safer. Let me know. Joseph.
A good hot shower is nice at a get together. I don't need to see you're MB in the shower as my MB equivalent would probably leave me over that. Not quite her "cup of tea" if you will. The place is only about 30 minutes from my house so I kind of think Lee and the boys will wave off the...
I called earlier today. They allow drinking within your campsite, campfires and they want dogs on a leash. Not sure how that will work with Baby Bear but here's the thing. If the pet is in your campsite, no worries so I think that if 3D get's the campsites linked together, we can travel from...
PB, 3D planned on making a site visit sometime this week. I'll wait for him to post his results. I'm sure pets are allowed and Joey and Briggs want to ride Baby Bear as a horse again. BB was nice, he just sat down each time they tried that at the rally and he didn't even growl. He's a great...
Anyone reading, please note that at my request, Doghead changed the thread title. This event is scheduled for the 20th of July so that we can include 3DAngus as he had a wedding in Maine scheduled on my proposed date. I'm going with the 20th of July and I don't think it will disrupt much this...
Last time I was at Ft. Knox before they moved the Armor School, a contractor out in town had the job of moving the tanks from the motorpool to the field. He had about 20 M911's pulling heavy haul military trailers that used to be hooked to them. I thought the M911 tractors moved the load just...
I'm good either way guys. Let's just say 1 vote for 20th, 1 vote undecided. I tried to call Clinto earlier but he was busy. If a mod comes along and see's this, let's change the title of this thread to "20 July get together for SW GA SSer's". The sooner we get a date set, the sooner we can...
Actually, it's Atomic's song, it was his idea!!! I'm just socializing the idea at this point. Once we have a firm date, we'll move forward and you can contribute all the info that you wish. Only helps us plan. I'd like to propose the 20th or 13th of July and most responses for either date...
I can vouch that an M1070 has room in the cab for 6. I was an M1 Tanker during my active days and they had room in the back for the crew. It pulled a neat trailer that all the bogies turned on in response to the steering of the tractor. I'm not sure what the truck and trailer weighed but I...
Well, tell me what date is good for you Mr. Emerson, I'll see if I can get a mod to change the date in the thread title. If you'd like to contact to park for the other ideas such as group camping and vendor spaces, feel free to take the lead and I'll be along for the ride. My intent is to just...
The date's not set in stone 3D, it's just proposed. As long as we do it while the kids are out of school, we can move the date around. I'd be more than happy to move it back a week or 2.
I spoke in length with Gringletaube at this past rally about this exact issue. If you're not sure who he is, ask around, he is the Deuce Authority in my opinion. They were built with caged bearings. The only way they want to become "uncaged" bearings is due to a clearance issue as in the...
Happy to see some interest. I'll be cooking a good bit of stuff as my youngest turns 5 during the week this will go on. He's a big fan of CUCV's and really loves his Sarge which is my M1028. I'll let him and his mother drive it and I'll bring the Deuce as my oldest like's it the best. It's a...
Did you run it's line to the bucket. I'll bet it's old, and the inner portion is collapsing under the suction. It might even look fine on the outside. Change the line from the IP to the fuel filter and post back.
I curious about a few things in your post. Do you have a NHC 250 or a 6CTA motor? Easy was to tell is if you have 6 injection lines coming from the pump or 1. If you're motor has only 1 line going to the head you have a NHC-250 which is fine. In my experience, as long as a NHC250 has been...
If anyone breaks down near the area, I've always got a towbar, chains and airlines if towing an M809 or M939 series truck. I can get you there and could quite possibly fix it.
I'd be interested as well. I attended MRAP University there in 2010 and saw some of the M939 trucks being rebuilt. My first thoughts were, "why in the world are they rebuilding those, the FMTV is well established at this point". Well, I saw trucks stripped just about to the frame rails and it...
