    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks! It is an air force truck and already had ATF in it so I am no judge as to any change. I will say that it does not have hard shifts, just firm... both up and down. And on the connectors, I ended up using some decent but not waterproof connectors and used some west marine liquid...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yea that It is on my list too. I am going to have to remove the hood and do a full re-hab on it though. Got some rust that is ready to start peeking through. The insulation will be a must though. Might pull the hood this weekend....

    Aftermarket windshield frames

    I got some new inner frames a while back and got around to putting them in the other day. I prepped and primered the hinge (had to re-use old ones) and screwed them in and hung the frames. Just now tried to lock the frames in and they hang maybe 1/8" too low to pass by the window lock deal on...

    How long is too long to let sit!

    We (Marine Corps) put solar tenders on all vehicles some years ago. I believe they did go away from it since I have retired. But they did work. I have them on two of my trucks. Eliminates having to have it plugged in, but if course it has to be uncovered. This one is permanently attached to...

    Insulation behind m923 seats

    My cab Insulation behind the seats is pretty shabby. Has anyone found any locally sourced insulation that works decent? I re-insulated the hard top in my deuce with iso-mat (sleeping mat) but those things get expensive.

    Unpacked two brand spanking new (vintage mid 80's) loaded deuce doors. Just something awesome about opening a crate that has been sealed up for over 30 years.

    M105a2 TM

    Looking for the TM that has the disassembly of the Landing gear in it. The one in the TM section has everything but that unless I am overlooking it. Got a bent main shaft that goes down into the gear...Pretty sure it will be easy but want to look at its innards before I tear it apart.
