I have used Harbor Freight magnetic stick on LED tow lights in the past when towing with an MV. I didn't even run the trailer lights, just the LED tow lights. This could be a temporary solution. Edit: I used the front of the wiring harness from an M416 trailer and adapted the flat-four plug to...

Welcome from SoCal. Feel free to send some of that rain down here.

If you're into Navy ships, here is another cool museum to see in the Los Angeles area: http://www.lanevictory.org/index.php

Since you're starting your visit in Los Angeles, I would check out the Ft. MacArthur Museum: http://ftmac.org/ Another good place to visit is Tankland in Rosemead, CA http://www.tankland.com/visitorsinfo.html Tankland is a member on Steel Soldiers. If you will still be in LA on April 13, 2014...

Welcome from the West Coast!

Welcome to the site. Your truck might just be a plain old M923, I have an '84 M923.

Wow! I ran a conversion and you're putting out 959 ft-lbs of torque at 1400 RPM. I bet it sounds sweet with those twin turbos. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks for the tip and photo!

My condolences on.the passing of your father.

The series is M939 and that particular version is an M923.

Road train! I hope the rest of his journey is as safe as the trip has been so far. Is he on SS? What is his screen name?

Welcome Steve, Yes, in CA you need a CDL for anything with three axles that weighs over 6000 lbs. Why not get your CDL? Solves that problem.

Oops, you're right Clinto. I thought the OP was asking about M38A1 vs. M170.*

Notice that the 5-ton has the bridge truck wheels.

Engine and transmission are identical. Wiring harness is slightly different from the firewall back. Gas tank is unique and hard to find on the M170. Springs are softer on the M170. Turning radius is much bigger. Some of the litter hardware is hard to find if missing. My dad has an M170 that I love.

I cleaned a tarp on a warm day on a clean cement driveway with water, a broom and dish soap. I didn't have any rust stains, however. I would try the CLR on an inconspicuous corner of the tarp and see what happens. I think the deuce and 5-ton staaves are the same length, but that's just the...

Welcome from the West Coast!

Your fiance will probably appreciate the smoother ride on the passenger side of the Mog. My wife is still mad at me for getting rid of my Pinzgauer and getting an M923.

Welcome from Southern California. I had a M1009 for 10 years and loved it. It got 20 mpg and went 70 mph.

Thanks for showing her with the dog house off, Dave!
