In terms of highway speeds, the M1008s like 50 MPH the best, but they will do 55 MPH with no problem and even 60 MPH, although I personally would not drive my truck at that speed for hours at a time. I've even had mine up to 65 MPH for a hundred yards or so in order to merge into traffic, but...
Looks like he might have bought the LVS wrecker prototype that was for sale in VA. Pretty nice truck. I always wondered how it differed from the production trucks...if at all.
I use PowerService conditioner, but I bet Lucas makes a similar product. Even in low range you don't have power? Watch out...do not use reverse in low range. Some on here have done so with no ill effects, but, with that much weight and the torque necessary to move the load and push down...
Are you finding a lack of power with the truck empty, or loaded with a water tank? Did you swap out the original tires with larger tires? A lot of guys do this and they cost themselves power that is already in short supply. If you installed larger tires, I'd suggest pulling them off. If you...
Has anyone figured out why they would install air suspension on an M932A2 that just can't carry really heavy loads? I remember thinking about that when it came up. The truck cannot haul what an M915 can carry. I am not criticizing the truck; I love the 9 series. Just curious is all...
I have a complete 3 color camo vinyl cargo cover that WAS brand new...I had it on the truck for three months and it has been stored inside since. $250...what I paid for it. Shipping is tough...it is folded up and fairly big. I can deliver for free to Aberdeen in May.
As others have stated, there is no way they carried troops in a trailer like that. Take a look in your rearview mirror when you are driving down the road and check out how much your trailer is bouncing all over the place.
Where is he going to find the correct winch kit? Has anyone ever seen an M35A3 parts truck come out with a winch? I follow the auctions religiously and I've never seen a w/w A3 come out that might be stripped for parts. I could have missed one, but I don't think so.
Why do you need a winch...
I really would need to see it in person to give you a real answer. Short of that, as others have stated, I'd need to see detailed pictures of any problem areas and also the truck's strong points. Of all the things you said, the suspension is the part that would concern me the most. I believe...
They are all over the place. Contact any big dealer. They will most likely have at least 10 for sale. I bet they'd probably have five times that in cores. I have never had any problem finding an alternator...but finding them cheaply is another story.
When I bid on a sealed lot previously, I was able to see the bids after the sale ends. I was the high bidder so I am not sure if that affected anything. Perhaps, you can try to find someone who won something. I realize it won't help you to find out the final prices on all of the items.
I have seen civvy mufflers that worked, but none (that I have seen...small sample size) that fit behind the heat shield. If you want your truck stock, you are probably stuck trying to find the right muffler. If you just want a muffler, you definitely can find a civilian muffler because I had...
