    M146 box on a 5 ton?

    The 146 trailer seems similar weight ~7k lbs as the m934 box, and a couple feet longer.. How feasible would it be to relocate the exhaust and spare tire carrier and bolt up the 146box minus the trailer frame/running gear to an m934 which already has the extra long wheelbase... Might extend...

    East coast to West coast trip - Free part taxi - standby assistance requested

    I'll be going from Fayetteville, NC to Seattle, WA, through West Virginia, in an M934. Everything checks out, but it'll be a fun trip. Couple things. 1. I'm offering a FREE 'taxi' service, from NC to Seattle, if you're along my proposed route. If you need anything shipped/transported from...

    CUCV gear oil (yes, I searched)

    So, here's the issue. .mil spec says 75/90.. BUT.... Everything I've been reading about 14 bolt 4.56 rears suggests I should be running 75/140 instead. Is it a supply issue? Ie the .mil said 75/90 was 'good enough' since it works on most of their vehicles? Got an M1010, which is hauling a...

    Suggested air tank size?

    I got an M1010, wanted to get air horns but figured if I'm getting a tank, I might as well use it for onboard systems, including airing up tires, air tools, etc.. Wanna keep some common air tools so I can do work in the field kind of stuff... Any suggestions on how much I'd need for rare/random...

    (WA) To 'Collector Vehicle' or not?

    I was planning on using it for my M1010, which is going to be a weekend vehicle/camping rig anyway, so I can surely justify it as a 'display' vehicle when I'm camping... Cheap tabs, don't need to be renewed, no front plate requirement... All huge bonuses.. Not gonna be used as a daily...

    m1010 fuel line clarification

    Pulled up the TM.. located the fuel lines...but without getting under there and tracing all the lines, I can't tell what line is return and which one is outbound. Any tricks or tips? I'm gonna be putting in an electric pump..and the spot where there is about 8" of 3/8 flex line about 3' from...

    M1009 see through window decals

    I'm thinking of custom making either OD, or NATO camo see through window decals, like used on the back of truck windows, for the rear and side windows... It'd basically continue the NATO camo (or solid OD) to make it look like one piece, Ie you won't really see the windows... Thoughts?

    Don't try to spray stencils in 30 MPH winds...

    Just saying.. :-p Lots of overspray...... I'll need to repaint the areas and start over in a couple of months when it warms up. I made a custom RF radiation stencil that looks better than I thought it would.. I have it on the back, and by each antenna mount (pass/driver). Pardon the rainy...

    Accident aftermath (M1009)

    So.... I'm in parking lot.. Driving down the 'main drag', well defined, concrete curbs, etc. You get the idea... When this 16 y/o chick decides that her burrito is more important than the road, and she pulls out of a taco bell, right into the corner of my truck... I don't have time to stop...

    Unburned fuel 'spots' on tailgate?!

    So, I noticed on my tailgate that I have black spots that look like oil stains, but smell like fuel.. They won't come off.. I also noticed my back window pretty caked with soot, although there is no excess smoke while driving, just a small puff of black smoke when starting... In addition, on...

    alternating corner markers?

    I was reviewing the diagram of the parking/turn lamps, and it seems that the park lamps should be steady, even if the turn signal is on. However, on my m1009, my corner marking lamps alternate with the front turn signal when the parking lamps are on. I haven't seen any abnormal splices, but my...

    Why wouldn't this work?

    Drums I can get for about 10$ a piece, filters and piping are also cheap. I'd have to figure out a way to use couplings to get one pump to connect to each stage, but shouldn't be too hard. The filters are designed for thousands of gallons of fuel... so they wouldn't have to be changed...
