Anybody had any experience with 8V92TA engines?
I know the NSN's are different, but wondering if a HEMTT 8V92TA would act as a replacement for a Mk48 LVS 8V92TA?
I have someone wanting to trade me one for some other stuff, and don't need it if it wont!
Thanks in advance!
Hey all!
Well after almost 2 years, she's finally home! Czech T-72M1 arrived day before yesterday... beautiful tank, and fantastic shape. This is a mean sounding machine... the supercharger really adds a neat exhaust note! 46 tons, 700+ V12 Diesel horsepower... nothing quite like it.
Pics...
Hey all,
Has anyone ever bought a Mk48 trailer w/o the FPU in CA? I need to get a bid on moving one, and I think its a little more than a standard pickup! LOL
Thanks!
Hey all,
Checked my TMs and don't see it listed... anyone ever seen a figure for the vertical wall climb height for the M939 series... the standard, and the A1 / A2 models?
I'm getting ready to build a new section of trail, and thinking about adding an optional vertical wall climb to a section...
WOW, really neat Russian show on the T-90... MAKE SURE YOU TURN YOUR SUBTITLES ON, lower right of the window... that way you can understand Russian!

Incredible machine... you HAVE to see the perimeter defense system... its late in the video...
If you want to move heavy, I'm your man...
however for trucks, never had to move one... so does anybody have a good source for a truck move from Ft. Jackson, SC to Richmond IN. 47374?
Thanks!
Hey all,
Well after a 1.5 year journey, dodging a potential East Coast dockworkers strike, being told by the dock everything from "the hatches are welded shut" to "the motor doesn't run and the batteries are dead", and a major customs issue (which ATF Imports came to my rescue - Thanks...
Hey all,
I have a lightweight weapons station ring mount I want to sell, and a prospective buyer wants to know if it will fit an M-35A2? Not a Deuce guy, so I came to the collective!
Thanks in advance!
Hey all,
A couple weeks ago Barstow auctioned off some Mk15 trailers.
Unfortunately I was shy about shipping from Barstow... anybody buy one of those and what to move it on to a loving and adoring home?
Thanks!
Hey all,
So you guys who've bought Mk48 trailers sitting with no FPU, how do you or your shipping companies load these trailers? Is it a ridiculous expense since there is no FPU?
Thanks!
Hey all,
We may be acquiring some trailers that we'd want to break down into parts, tires and rims, brakes etc. Just hoping to find some a place where we could have the trailers dropped and we could come down and pull the parts off we want, and scrap the rest...
Anyone have a place? Anyone...
Hey all,
Well she's finally on the way.. on the water as we speak... T-54... full restored... can't wait to see her... been over a year in the making...
Will post some pics when she arrives.
Hey all,
Well my M923A1 is having an issue. I turn the master power switch on and instead of the "initialization" sound you normally hear, all I hear is a single click... then when the starter switch is moved up, nothing happens. Batteries are new... any ideas?
Had to say goodbye to an old friend this weekend, who went off to a new and loving home.
We had just completed an exterior restoration, and she looked amazing... So long old warrior, we never really own them, just hold them for their next owners...
Hey all,
Took the Mk48 out for a long drive today... awesome vehicle and LOTS of stares...
However between 35 and 40 there is a pronounced HOPPING that begins and gets fairly violent at times... anyone else have this?
It doesn't always do it, sometimes its not bad, other times very bad...
Hey all,
Just found out we have a Veteran's Day parade here in Richmond IN. We are just off I-70 on the Indiana/Ohio line.
I'm going to put the M923 and the Mk48 in... the only stipulation is that every vehicle is themed to say thanks to Veterans and their families.
The Date is Nov. 10, and...
Hey all,
Well an old warrior came to her new home today... Syrian T-62 captured during the Yom Kippur war, during their drive to the Jordan River...
Battle damage galore all over her... schrapnel, 20mm hit on the barrel, MG round hits... she's been there and done that for sure...
We pulled...
Hello all...
Well I've read the threads on ABS and the TM, but I can't find any possible explanation on this...
We pulled the 4 bad military batteries from the M923A1, and put two new 12 V semi batteries in... fit well, and redid the wires.
Now however, my ABS light comes on after driving...
Hey all,
Well we pulled the 4 mil batteries out of the M923A1 today... and put two of the large 12V truck batteries back in... but we have an issue...
1) Are there any 12V draws that need to be put back on... in our rush we just disassembled and then realized this fact... are there more...
