I quickly replaced all the tires...

You don't say? First one separated @ 60 MPH.... This one I was only going 25... heheh

I sold the truck, but it's butyl rubber, so, lasts forever... :p.. It also reduced the heat during the summer substantially...

Did it fit?

FYI, as far as noise reduction goes.... I used peal and seal as a base, then added foam and indoor/outdoor carpet.... Cost was around $100 IIRC.... I could talk normally, at 60...

On my list...

So, the M1010 that I sold my mom has developed a horrendous whine, even at idle... and she says it 'doesn't feel right' when coasting, and it actually died as she was driving it... Like she was giving it gas and it was going nowhere, but it was in drive and the engine didn't race like it was...

Width?

I believe the TG/ToughGuard are decent... The base ones are %^&

Got dimensions? I made a faux UHF satcom antenna, and the faux CIED antenna I made looks a little short compared to that...

Indeed. Certain symbols or word combinations can bring memories of the evil brought by those people. But, as much as we all hate Nazis, they were nothing but impeccably dressed. lol. The black Schutzstaffel uniform was downright impressive, and imposing.. I would urge you to look past that...

Please, please, at the very minimum, read the -10 TM.... These are not large pickups, they're essentially commercial trucks with lots of unique quirks. There are things you need to understand and tackle before you drive it. You need to understand the braking system, emergency shutoff...

An FMTV was stolen in Seattle, and SPD refused to pursue. Please find a way to make it not move. Something as simple as pulling the emergency stop lever (cuts fuel) should be enough. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_x59x-Q6Hk

LOL I'm hoping that's not you that WSP just dispatched to 18 @ Weyerhauser for a 'broken down military truck'....lol

Just make sure, if you have 12v alternators, that you don't ground both alternators, unless you converted to 12v

It's even more fun with the XLWB models like the 927 and 934... Try driving a 33' truck with a 6' tow bar with a 20' truck attached... VS. Deuce that will fit in a standard parking spot for the most part. It's fun indeed. The XLWB models will fit in 2 spaces, perfectly... As long as you...

Below the port where a block heater goes? The first flush I did netted muddy brown water. I pulled all the hoses and flushed water through the radiator.... Took about 10min until it came clear.... Then I backflushed through the heater core with just the lower radiator hose disconnected... about...

I drove an M934 from Ft. Bragg,NC to Seattle, straight from auction, with a detailed inspection and replacement of all fluids. Heh. I know about the thrill of new experiences. heh.

Yup. Always good to repost info like that for people that aren't aware. It can be a lifesaver. Sometimes us old timers forget that not everyone knows all the little tips/tricks...

What kind of 'inspection' did they do where they didn't notice a loose wire that's visible upon the most cursory inspection? Granted it's an old, used truck, and you can never guarantee 100% operation, but still.... For the premium that retail outlets charged for 'good' trucks, you'd think...
