Hey guys, I'm not exactly sure that this thing is but I am looking for one. Anyone know what it was used for? I have seen them with magnets and other without magnets. Is it somekind of locator beacon when in the field? GPS? Anyone know where a guy can buy one? I did put a listing in the...

Hello fellow PNW Steelsoldiers! I am planning a 24MAR M923 recovery trip in Southern Oregon. My friend Matt will provide chase in my 3/4 ton Dodge Ram. Should I run into issues and need some serious help (ie tow) I was wondering if I could call upon the SS for assistance? I will be picking up...

Guys, I'm going through the vast number of 5 ton related wheel threads. I see references to HEMTT wheels, FMTV wheels, and combat wheels. I can clearly see the difference between FMTV and Combat wheels. How are HEMTT wheels different?

M939A0 M939A1 Corner I've been on SS for a couple years and feel like a newbie once again. Now that I'm diving into the family of 5 tons, I find myself searching for posts related to PMCS. So far I haven't found too much in the way of parts listings. With the huge influx of M939 family trucks...

Another question I have had for sometime in regard to the M939 series trucks. As seen with the M35A2 to M35A3, the "upgrade" included super singles. It was my understanding the military was going to convert the A0's to the A1 configuration (maybe I'm wrong). I see several later modelled 939's...

Just curious if anyone has put any green radios in their M939 based trucks yet. I'm looking for pics and where you have put them. The biggest issue is the battery location. I have part of the M939 battery relocation kit (two tier battery box and supporting brackets only) and plan on maybe moving...

Hey guys, last month I inspected about 24 M923's at JBLM. Don't worry I'm not breaking any rules as the trucks are already sold and gone;-) Some of the trucks had extra dataplates from Red River Army Depot, TACOM. What do these dataplates indicate? Have these trucks gone through a total...

OK guys here's our very own thread for upcoming events and information pertaining to PNW SS's. Was hoping to have a separate PNW regional chapter but this will do for now;-)

Ok guys, seems the Behr paint is really taking off on many projects. To date I've painted my '68 M35A2, '88 M109A3, MEP-006a w/ M200a1. I thought I'd start this thread so all of the Behr paint guys can show each other and other's our projects. I was a bit leary to use a "household" paint on my...

Turbo Rebuild 3LJ-319 (Whistler) Step by step WARNING! LOTS OF PICS!!! I'm in the process of restoring my 1968 JK M35A2. After having tackled the exterior, cab, and PMCS of the engine bay, it was time to move to something that has been on the project list. Over the past 3-4 years I have owned...

Well I decided to change out my hoses today on my '68. I got in a bit of a hurry and completely forgot to put my usual piece of thin plywood in front of the radiator. Well, while I leaned the radiator forward to loosen the fan bolts....it happened:shock: My winch clutch handle lock out bracket...

As September 11, 2011 approaches, this marks the 10th Anniversary of another day that will live in Infamy. This definately was a day where each and every one of us knew where we were and what we were doing that day. There are many events planned throughtout the United States, as well as around...

I'm looking to possibly move a big round object that weighs close to 350 lbs (under 4 ft in diameter). It is located in/around Los Angeles and would need to be move to Olympia, WA. I thought about maybe driving down to get it but 2400 round trip miles doesn't justify it.

After repainting my M109A3 and M35A2, I've had an itch to repaint my PU-650B/G (AKA MEP-006A on a M200A1). I wanted to repaint her with what she currently wears now, MERDC. However, I thought maybe painting her with plain 383 Green would look better. Last night I scraped, sanded, chiseled, and...

AKA BEHR PAINT TRUCK..haha Well it was a matter of time before this week would come. I've been pondering how I would restore my 1968 JK M35A2 I recovered 3 years ago. Vietnam era truck, desert storm truck, 3 color CARC truck, and MERDC truck were all the ideas I had on her. Recently I...

Hey guys I see tons of threads of guys painting to match the 3 color NATO camo pattern. Anyone paint their deuces with the 4 color camo pattern AKA MERDC?. I'm planning on repainting my '88 A2C but would like to see what she looks like after a nice paint job. Will end up painting the PU-650B/G...

Took my M109A3 out yesterday. Not sure what it is. Whenever I hit 30 MPH she starts to bounce (has been doing this everytime I take her out). It's more of a rolling bouncing from the rear of the truck to the front or front to rear. She does it during acceleration or coasting. No issues at 27MPH...

Hey guys just picked up this master cylinder of eb** for 10 bucks. They said it was off a 5 ton MV. It's unlike any 5 ton master cylinder that I've seen. Knowing this thing looked familiar I went out and checked out my 109. It looks pretty darn close except mine has the see through fluid...

Hey guys got another project to go along with the few dozen projects already on paper8). Looking for pics and build ideas for a roof rack for my M109A3. I've got a few ideas down but would like to recruit the SS brotherhood to see what you've done. Yes this is my way of stealing your...

My M109A3 has been leaking differential fluid out of the front axle. I need to get a replacement differential output seal. Does anyone have the NAPA # for it? To clarify it is the seal on the differential where the driveshaft flange comes out of. I've replaced the axle pressure release vent to...
