Good job covering the basics Jon. Rust is a big problem for the multifuel engines (IP & FDC) in particular. You saw first hand some evidence of that when I visited you a couple of years ago. I cut access openings to make it easy to clean behind the baffles inside the tank as shown in image...

TM 11-5830-340-30 contains all schematics and troubleshooting info you can use for the VIC-1 system. The goldplated contacts on the C2298 units may be cleaned with a pencil eraser, otherwise it's best to have a few spares on hand for testing (swapping), they are a lot cheaper than what's...

Thanks for your suggestions!

That's a lot of weight on 4 tires....especially aired down....should have added an axle IMHO.

Yeah, it's a mystery why they'd be left dry.

Took the inside door panels off yesterday to see if the window action could be made to go a bit smoother. Why aren't the slides and guides glistening from grease? Everything is bone dry and slightly rusty. No mention in the TMs about lubricating this mechanism. Do you guys have any comments...

That part of Nevada has some very steep roads, brakes without air assist could be dangerous...

Sent an email to Steve Turchet, who used to live in that part of NV and still may be close.

Wonder if they flattened the tires for underpasses..... Edit: Added image.

Should have used better rubber.

As usual, a picture....

Funny, I moved the truck around a little while ago and came in and read your message, which reminded me to drain those tanks......we need to get Gary Berg to make some decals to this effect.... I sure need to be reminded.

The xm757 came from factory with spring loaded drain valves. Just pull the wire to drain and release. NSN 2530-00-045-3539 (11601784). What we really need is a reminder decal on the dash, it's easy to forget this little routine after a drive.

The military is going for them: May 11, 2009 Goodyear wins big military contract BAE Tactical Vehicle Systems has picked Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. to outfit its widely used military transport vehicle with original equipment tires. The vehicles will use...

I'll be leaving the tires In Front Royal, VA (Daniel's?) for the time being and if somebody returning From Aberdeen can pick them up and bring them to my place, I can compensate in fuel or with money for fuel. There is also a tire from Blythwoodjoe to be handled, perhaps at the same time. Edit...

For all Gama Goat owners out there, uploaded another article: Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite Also listed the actual magazine on ebay this morning.....

Thanks Joel, sent him a PM, need to confirm part number, should be radial and hopefully 80% aspect ratio, 85% would be over 4" taller than stock. 80% is about 2" over stock, but acceptable.

Hmmm..that's almost exactly 16 inches wide, just what the 8x8 needs, just a little taller with the 80% aspect ratio (the xm757 uses 70%). I'm interested if Joel isn't, don't know what has transpired. Will work tubeless on the 12" wheels, correct? Edit: Got a pic of the actual marking on the...
