    Official NC Denton Rally 2019 buy/sell

    I am parting 2 M1088s. A lot of parts are gone or claimed, but if there is something you need for an FMTV truck just let me know.

    What have you done WITH your FMTV ( trips, Rescues etc) NOT: fixes, updates etc

    Toted home a heavy a$$ insulated storage container with a 3,000 lb water tank inside. 2-1/2 hours no issues. Well other than the cooling fan solenoid crapping out.

    Locker owner opinions?

    Yesterday I dragged a 20ft container in red clay mud. The container weighed appx 10K. Only reason I could get the truck there and move it was the locker combined with "mode". Absolute animal in less than stellar conditions. It does announce itself to me sometimes on turns if I'm under power...

    Two piece wheels with beadlocks should never have that problem.

    M1088A1 - All Service Brakes will not release

    I agree now that I have reread your original situation.

    M1088A1 - All Service Brakes will not release

    The brake shoes have frozen to the brake drums. A couple we’ll placed sledge hammer blows on the shoes will release them. When the truck is in operation they are warm. Any snow or dampness present when parked will then freeze PS: make sure the wheels are chocked and release the parking brake...

    Source for wheel o-rings and CTIS valve seal rings?

    They do. I don’t remember the pet number. Have ordered and used the o rings a few times now.

    choice between 1970 deuce or 1987 deuce.

    The 87 is probably an Air Force truck. Honestly if you’re going to bob it and run in the salt and winter I’d rather see the 70 get chewed up. All of the extra value in an Air Force truck will be lost in that mission. Just my opinion.

    M322 LT , Between Phoenix and Flagstaff.

    So first: let’s find a member in that area to stow it. No sense just walking away. Second if I’m not mistaken the bolt pattern on the hubs is standard Budd so should be able to get a couple tires in to get it moving EMPTY. Thoughts from the group?

    Wheelspinner's M1078

    These were all 4 mounted on rims already. I just paid to basically have them “rotated” old for new. It’s a local commercial tire shop. When I have had other tires dismounted and remounted has been about $60 including O- ring each. It was $35 each to take the old off and tote the new ones on. My...
