Generally if it would be filters you would just lose power, but since you have grey smoke I would lean a little more towards possibly water/coolant getting into the combustion chamber. Is it possible you had a lose headbolt? If that is the cause you then blew the gasket out of it, hence the...

WOW!! Certainly some mixed emotions on this one! But with that said thanks for posting SEAFIRE! KK

I am in the process of installing HEMTT air ride seats in my Oshkosh, its not done yet but they sure seem like a very comfortable seat. They are exactly like what Floridianson posted in the comment above! KK

Hello folks and as usual I have many more questions than answers, and that includes everything not just MVs! I recently did a recovery on a 1952 M-37 (pics coming shortly) obviously this is an early one and I suspected it when I bought it but was not positive till I picked it up, it has ZERO...

like Artisan said SHOW ME THE MONEY! For 7800$ for a week of use I can sand blast a small fleet of trucks! Its very interesting and I hope CHINA gets to work fast on this one! KK

If you really feel the need to look for a place to intentionally bury a 5 ton, you wont have to look very hard, you only need a good puddle with a soft bottom and its taken care of. You will need a winch of appropriate size and something way bigger and extremely solid to hook the winch to then...

As was said earlier I would suspect its the different format VIN that is causing the inspection, I had a trailer 105A2 that the DMV deemed worthy of an inspection and they sent out a Hwy Patrol officer and all he did was look at the SN on the trailer and all was good, but I did not have to pull...

Hey guys I am leaving Thur. morning to recover a 1952 M-37. I will be leaving from Fargo ND to Flushing Michigan, plan to cover 700 miles the first day, will be getting to Michigan via Duluth MN into Wis. and crossing into Michigan via the Mackinac Bridge over to Mackinac City then taking the...

Good looking truck lots of good potential! When I need a vehicle transported I have grown pretty dependent on USHIP with very good results, and that includes even an M920 from California to ND. I do not have one complaint using this method! KK

I have been watching GAX-66 trucks for years and they seem a little out of the ordinary in their layout compared to other truck mfgs, but with THAT said they have always appeared (tome anyway) one of the few trucks in the world that looks like it could keep up with Unimogs off road ability! Karl

extremely interesting vehicles and some not to mention HUGE beyond words! The Zil 3167 is big but not so over the top BIG, and it used two Petrol V-8 engines to power it! I would love to spend a couple days with any of these just to see how they are put together! KK

Besides being a REAL SHAME to destroy a beautiful 1088 I am sure it can be done, BUT STILL A COMPLETE SHAME!!!!!!! KK

It looks like you did pretty well that is a nice looking truck, Congratulations! Karl

Sary can that is interesting and I do know that there are some very odd rules out there. I was at one time looking at a MAN military truck out of Germany and because this type of truck was never issued to the public or anything close to it made for the public it was deemed a "WEAPON OF WAR" and...

The 939 series of trucks are great trucks, remember they are a lot bigger than a Deuce! The G177 tires are a very good tire and with the 5 ton like a deuce you can single them out pretty easily. If you are going to drive the truck any real distance it is a much better truck to drive than a...

I rode in a 1008 once and it sounded like it was coming apart at 50 MPH! Put me down for a sustained speed of 35 MPH! KK

I can empathize with all of you the new so called politically correct fuel cans are all just about 100% worthless! My FIX to this ridiculous problem is to buy WATER cans and use them for fuel, spray paint a big red splash on them ans away you go, these can actually work exactly like a fuel can...

VERY nice looking M-37 needless to say there is a lot of potential to do whatever you want to with this truck, you have a beautiful base to start! KK

That is one of the greatest uses for a 978 as i have ever seen! The RED looks beautiful on this truck and your conversion work looks as professional as the rest of the truck! Extremely well Done and you certainly have my congratulations!! Karl

Tom that sounds like a really great trip, the 939 series trucks are very nice to drive and very quiet and comfortable over long distance. My first recovery on these trucks was 600 miles and it was a pleasure all the way! Have lots of fun with your truck and as you have I am sure already...
