I drove it around last night... dad wanted me to park it facing the long driveway to give the UPS girl a shock lol

Yep, nuclear sub, formula one car. Clapped out destroyer, 1960's f100 from the northeast lol.

They didn't go to GP- whenever something is turned in, it goes through a process, offered to other DOD, then other feds, states, etc finally there is a period things can be pulled by states for non profits etc. This is how he got them. Runs a huge at risk youth camp. The kids love the military...

Might have been, didn't go over it that well for the tags, happened to see one with that date on it. Thanks to whomever changed the title! 👍

These came out through fed donation, so he paid single digit percentage of new each. New gov cost was $256,000

On my destroyer in the early 2000's, a mandate came down forcing us to toss all spare nuts and bolts, order from correct stock, and put in neat bins. A steam powered ship lost some guys cause a 600lb steam valve let go, found out they had put black anodized brass bolts in and they gave way with...

I agree! There was a member here out west that had a m920 he heavily modified, and actually did haul narrow gauge locomotives with it! Think his user name was Soni or Sonni. These things are squirrelly! Had to take off and adjust rear drag link, when they put on a new one, they didn't adjust...

All blackout switches are off Headlights actually come on veeeeery dim. Front turn lights, rear tail, and dash indicators come on when you step on brakes I ran a wire from the slave port to the left headlight wire and marker light wire, lit up everything so I could get it home. Tried jumping...

Swaped some good ones(horn, blower, etc) still no go.

Help I'm recovering a het for a guy and there's no lights Other than brake lights . They worked when we left now nothing all the circuit breakers are fine power going to them and out any suggestions?

I love my little kohler 6kw light plant. I have a way to backfeed through my welder plug (opening the main panel breaker first of course) and feed 240 to the well and part of the house (i have 2 200amp panels coming in) but I really want to get a transfer switch installed so it is failsafe.

What a junker!!!!

You could buy a m819... A wrecker tractor. No rear winch, but has a fifth wheel.

Check your state, and the state you are moving to. The state you register the truck in will be the one that matters. Here in SC, you can get a class F license, 26,000lb and over with 10,000lb and over trailer, and even get endorsements for air brakes, doubles, etc. Basically a non commercial...

Yes, built for the Fort Stewart railroad by adding hydraulic hyrail gear and the inset wheels. Guess I will budget getting it done. I need this truck to be a daily driver soon. Thanks for the advice.

I just moved my CUCV out of the shed and up to the garage, she's next on the rotation for being made serviceable. Haven't checked fluids or anything yet, (moved it around midnight) but it needed to be reved up to move in 1st and reverse. If I took my foot off the gas it would die like the...

Sorry to hear your CUCV won't get to make it. I've always got some troop seats open you know you're welcome to. Done lots of work to the m37 in the last few weeks, all new wiring, new seats, cab top, all new brake cylinders. She's not going to know how to act lol.

I'm familiar with other 7.3 like yours. He won't get 10 months out of the head if it is already this bad. And either is very hard on these real high compression engines. Sounds like it was failing on the previous owner, and who knows how long he ran it that way already.

Unless letting the pump run a min lets it fire right up without having to touch the throttle,, I'd bet money it is a failing HH. I've changed over a dozen over the years, you are having all the common symptoms, after eliminating all the other possible causes. You should be able to not touch...

Could be the HH going bad, had one do the same would run once you got it going but wouldn't build enough pressure while simply cranking it. Have you tried running the intank pump for a minute before cranking? If it solves the problem, could be an air leak somewhere letting it loose prime...
