Yup, just one of the 6 prototype 5TTRs that were built from the M923A2. Non-TAK4 on this unit as well. This excerpt below was taken from a cost analysis of all the military vehicle fleets and ultimately denied. "..expected costs to remanufacture a 5 ton truck exceed 93% of purchase of a new...

Troop seats installed and secured. Filled in a few holes from the previous armor package. The temp gauge is working intermittently so that's on the to-do list.

Almost done with all major PMCS from glow plugs to hoses. Did some shake down runs these past few days to work the kinks out and set up the troop seats in the bed. There's a whirling sound when I left off the throttle that is new to me but everything seems fine. Hmm..

I have this LDS-465-1A engine/trans combo that I can bring with if anyone is interested ($500) - see classifieds. I'm bringing down various other large parts of members already.

Thank you. I do dream of concrete floors but the dirt is softer to roll on haha! ..but seriously if one times the weather right painting outside is fantastic.

Giving this old girl a new look.

My 2005 Stewart & Stevenson M1078A1R.

Synthetic is supposed to resist heat break down better, resist acidification from age (not really a thing any more), have less evaporative loss, etc.. Unless you plan to run that engine long, hard, and often I don't see the cost effectiveness of it. Tests have shown conventional oils today are...

Does it whine like this? If so you might have ants. :ROFLMAO:

Since the cab is trash just put a chain through the turret cover and front windshield (it's already gone). Disconnect the hydraulic cylinder lines and pull it with a truck. You're way overdoing this. I say this from experience when I parted out a M1078A1R with cab damage and used this method...

Nah, it will help shake the dirt off and keep the truck clean. Just send it. :p

The magical trio: Behr Ultra 383 Green Gillespie 383 Brown Rustoleum Flat Camo Black The black was drying when photos were taken, by now it's seamlessly black and smooth. I've painted many truck with these trio and they always look sharp.

That's pretty slick. I'm building towards that with my M1123. Just need a brush guard and air lift bumper.

Nah. GP/IP procures USMC stuff on a contractual basis. It will say "X number of itemized lots" and they sign for it. It could be pallets of boots to new Cat Dozers that need Demil. Stuff changes and they have only so long to get stuff sold or off the property. Ride the wave that is surplus MVs...

Using a punch and heavy wrench (because flatter and still heavy) didn't do the trick? Cylinder #4 on mine was a SOB to extract as it broke off half way with the special extraction tool. I stuffed the injector hole with shop towels and used a needle nose to get it down in there solid. I had a...

Washed, ground, and painted the base coat on this M35A2. Brown and black to come. I feel if I could get the green a little darker a black Army start would be enough. I may do one like that later.

Absolutely! Families comes with us every year and the museum event is popular as well.

I literally had this problem yesterday and indeed pulled the injector and pull it out with a forceps. Easy to do but a pain to get into.

Got the M543A2 up and running. I've got parts on order to get everything back in operational shape I hope.

I was doing glow plugs today and every single one was swollen or deformed. It was an 09' rebuild with 77 miles on it and it's ridiculous. I've got the special extractor tool and even then I've had one collar rip off and one break in half. I'm 3 for 5 right now. I was really trying to take it...
