    69 model 2.5ton question

    This is a pretty simple question to answer, START THE TRUCK and listen, withing about 3 seconds you WILL know what turbo is on the engine! The "C" sounds very neat and cool for about a month but if your driving the anything near often your going to wishing for the "D" in no time at all! KK

    M923a2 Battery issue

    redblok if you had a solargizer on the batteries and all was hooked up correctly I am going to say your existing batteries are toast. I would do like Brasco said and get rid of all 4 of your existing batteries and replace them with two good ones, the 850 CCA you mentioned should do great, get...

    New member hello from NJ

    Welcome to the site from ND Keith, pretty darned nice looking M37 you have there! The M37 is a great truck to drive and work on, one step up from a Jeep but a pretty small step up compared to when you get a 5 tonner, that will be a much bigger step, and as always much bigger steps come with...

    Funny Looking Deuce and a very happy little boy!

    Deuces are great trucks but in my humble opinion you did much better, the 939 series trucks are very fun to drive, they are a lot quieter than a Deuce, they are capable of driving 55 mph and believe it or not the automatic trans. are very reliable and work pretty darned good! Great looking...

    My local city LE dept just came up with a Mog.

    Your city LE has very good taste in highly capable vehicles, although it is most definitely not one to try and pursue somebody in, unless they are on foot! KK

    New to me Mystery Oshkosh

    Buckwheat that is one very impressive looking truck I do not know when Oshkosh purchased FWD but this truck looks to have the best of both in it. I have always wanted to find a good Oshkosh heavy but every one I ever could find for sale was so rusty that the amount of work to get back in...

    IronPlanet is a joke!

    hipaa it may sound like its the end of the world as you describe, is this YOUR FIRST MV purchase? Every state has their little things that you have to work through but it is all able to be done. My first word of advice to you is SLOW DOWN on the tirade a bit, it will really get you no where...

    M29/M29C. Worth the time?

    Will I would be on this one pretty quick! I am going to guess unless word gets out to other people who know what this is its potentially going to go pretty cheap. In looking at it there is definitely a fair amount of work to be done which is of course all doable and there are brand new tracks...
