    Burning B20 in my M1009

    More lubricious than standard diesel, I want my IP to last a looooong time! As for the potential damage issue: I assume Wal-Mart has researched the problem ad decided to sell B20 ONLY, and they sell a LOT of it, if they were risking damaging customer vehicles (thereby costing the company a lot...

    Burning B20 in my M1009

    As far as I know B20 or lower will not harm an un modified fuel system. All of the Wal-Mart fuel stations in my area sell what they claim is B20 (actually the sticker says "up to" 20% bio) and I know from a friend who hauls fuel that theirs is mixed in the delivery truck, the driver fill his...

    Show us your Military Trailers

    An M101A2 IS the answer to the question, possibly the most useful military trailer in civilian hands!

    M101A2 violent braking!

    I replaced the shock on mine and when it is empty it still will not stop smoothly, I use a lockout pin unless it is loaded.

    Pawnshop builds a M116 flatbed...

    I have been poor:( My plan was to build with my tax return but my M1009 needs new tires and my M109A3 needs a fuel pump and batteries SO... It is now on the front burner so I will be starting soon, I will update when I start.

    Landing leg crank

    I found mine on eBay over a year ago, I had to pay a LOT for it, but it was NIB

    Landing leg crank

    number9 I think your crank is bent, I bought one of these units NIB and mine is straight, no twist in the flat bar section.

    Batman Crew likes MV's too!

    Yes, LVSR, and I doubt it was THAT truck driven into the hole, likely a mockup. I don't think there are any privately owned units out there and I doubt the USMC would allow them to destroy one of theirs! I believe the female driving the rig is Sarah T, Hollywood stunt driver, all around badass...

    Neat use for a Director's Trailer, M17?

    Sorry, I did not get a shot of the data plate (should have, dammit...) Some photos I found on the WWW. the other night

    I would dearly love to have a CDN M101! Those little cuties just did not make it down to Texas much, they crossed into the US from Canada and were mostly snatched up near the border, sort of like spilling a Coke on carpet (it is NOT going to make it to the other side of the room...)

    M151 and M416 were mostly painted a single color, however later ones were MERDC (four color) camo (mid 1970s), and MUCH later ones were 383 (three color, mid-late 1980s) Your call really. It was pretty rare to see a US M416 painted 383. My 1966 Johnson Furnace M416 left the 49th Armored, US Army...

    strange "bump" when decelerating quickly

    Check your transmission fluid. I had a leaky line on my M1009 and sometimes when the fluid was low and I would rapidly lift off the throttle the tranny would go into a neutral state for a moment, then give a noticeable "bump" when it re-engaged, sometimes after I came to a full stop. I am...

    Need Help All, I have an M101a2 with the new style M101a3 frM101a2/a3 Front Land Gear

    It may just need lubrication, the pin should snap into place with a loud "klank", both stowed and deployed positions.

    The only real advantages to the LED are omnivolt and brightness, the standard composite with 12v bulbs work very well too, and are a LOT cheaper!

    And yes, trailers ARE a gateway drug! Mostly because they CAN be used with your civvie vehicle for all kinds of jobs. My M416 was the first of five (so far...)
