Humvee engines are usually run always around max rpm. The soldiers used them like gas engines and normally did not understand that they use a Diesel. So if you buy a take out engine you do not know what you get. If you by an engine in the box it is a stock engine and therefore considered to be...

Rear axle bearing usually last as long as the seals. That means some 150,000 miles or more. This requires a propper oil level in the rear axle. Rear axle oil shuld be changed every 20000 mies. Do not forget the additive for the limeted slip diff! Wolf

The USMC purchased the Mercedes G290 as a replacement for the oversized Humvees. They are not jet old enough to go to surplus and there is no replacement on the world marked except a newer model of the G. The basic parts are mass production and so the same as the civil version. However, the...

If the starter clicks only, the batteries are bad or you have a bad contact or ground. Check all connections for cleanes and propper contact. A 12 Volt starter also runs on 24 Volts, just faster, however, not forever. Wolf

Gates makes them, however I do not know the numbers. But the shop should be able to order them in the States. We can order them here in Germany. Wolf

The M101A2 use the same rims as the CUCV series trucks with 8 bolts. So a Ford rim pobably has not the correct center bore. Center bore centered rims should be used as such, else it might be possible (but must not) that they wear out the bolt bores. Always care for the propper torque of your...

Even without knowing the propper thickness of the brake linings, the shop should be able to find the propper thickness if you tell them your drum diameter. The diameter of the shoes they have. The other they can calculate and grind them down to the propper thickness, if they have no propper...

Thanks for all the new pics and sources of fire trucks and their stories. Some of these pics are also helpfull for hobby modelers. Wolf

Southdave, your answere is not the smartest one! Reason I consider brake flued is a basic device to be changed as many others here , too. Chlorine tablets are, let me say, an intermediated advice! You easyly find out weather the radiator is clogged or not. The advice of some 3rd teeth cleaner...

He wants the truck weighted up in gold or what. Thats definetely far away from any market prices! Wolf

You ned something for the rear axle limited slip diff, but with some thinking you can make the tool needed by yourself. It is it push out the bushings of the counter reaction shafts. With a screw driver or simelar they burst and are not useable anymore. And I do not know , weather these bushings...

I like, as we call them, Canada GMC's, I can not open the internet cantact for some resons, so I do not know the price asked. However, I would not pay more than 1500 Euro for the truck. No useable use for it with the drilling kit. And to mdify it to a Truck with bed and trapoline would cost a...

A meeting without repeir is not a real meeting! So youi had a good one. Congretulationes. I enjoid the pics. Wolf

Hey tcody, it is nice for me to see an MAN in the states. They have been built never to leave Europe. However, you own one. I have a friend who owns one since some 20 + years, a former Pershing II tractor. For me one question arises: How you want rto restore and maintain European technology in...

I love those Apple people, for I can not watch their pics/movies (and I'm not willing to put more ballast on my computer!) Wolf Everbody can use his system as he likes, but do not expect everybody to like that!

For your house the M116A2 with the propper Gen Set (forget about the 3 kW sets with two small engines, the somewhat 15 kW set) is big enough with regard to power output. And you can safely pull that trailer with its overrun brake device (inertia brakes) ith yout truck. Anything larger will...

For those NVA vehicles the US tax payer did pay NOTHING, it was a gift from Germany of usefull qualified material! The only costs were a share of the transport to the Saudi Arabian Desert. The 8x8 Tatras were good for a 100 tons of pulled load, the shown trailer is a Russian 50 ton payload...

Are the fuseable harness at the dash at the 12V connector in good condition(the blue lines at the rear most to the dash)? Wolf

Should be 1/4 inch, fits better. Replace all rubber parts due to age by new hoses. Wolf

2008 konnte ich nicht, das war das Jahr, als Richard gestorben ist. Aber die Fahrzeuge kenne ich im Wesentlichen, auch deren Besitzer. That was the year when Richards funeral was, so I could not join. However, I know most of the vehicles and their owner. Wolf
