    M939 Series Air Brake Cage Bolts

    When caging a truck that gas sat the brake shoes can rust to the drum and you may need to tap the drum with a hammer. I have found some caging bolts that use a 13/16" nut. We do not use the caging bolts that are on the brake cans because the tend to be rusty and just a pain in the but. Always...

    White smoke...

    Sounds normal. Keep an eye on the temp gauge and fluids. Do you gave a block heater? A winter front is in order but keep a close eye in the temperature gauge. My truck has a cooling system that was designed for the desert and we cover half the radiator in the yard to warm it up during the...

    M929 Splash Guards

    Go to a truck parts house ,dealer or truck stop and tell them the size you need. They are very common, mud flaps get torn all the time and the cops like to ticket the trucks, just try to get the thick ones. If I remember correctly the bottom has to be within 6" of the ground per DOT regs.

    Why do some people hate military vehicles?

    I have seen that many times, our simple solution is either to set two pipes on top of each other or offset the point to something that is not easily moveable, and if the property owner is willing to pay our time we can set a monument that will take a back hoe to remove.

    M101a2 trailer tires and wheels.

    One option that has not been mentioned it to have the existing brake drums/ hubs redrilled for the 6 lug pattern if the center diameter will work. A lot of the hot rod and jeep guys do this.

    The following comments are based in my decades of experience surveying on both coasts. This example is one of the reasons that I would not live under an HOA and I live outside the city limits. You have two issues here. The first issue is the HOA. They get there authority from typically...

    Have a surveyor review the deeds and possibly a survey to see what you really own or have rights to. After the surveyor reviews it you may have to either get your title company or a real estate lawyer involved if you have any rights.

    Trailer ID required.

    That explains it. They are probably from some project at the base.

    New guy from California.

    CA has a very funny law that states with a class c license you can only drive a three axle vehicle if the GVW is under 6,000 lbs, yes 6,000 lbs. The other issue is an A2 is not old enough to be historic if the paperwork is correct.

    Why do some people hate military vehicles?

    If your neighbor was able to quiet claim the land then you really did not own it and either there was a mistake in the paperwork or the realtor did not know what they were talking about. You need to talk to your title company
