Ive noticed that the numbers/info being applied onto equipment has gone from a paint pen/sharpie to spray painting huge numbers and letters. Their not even trying to be neat and think about after the sale (shocker). There is a M1008 CUCV coming up soon and instead of applying whatever is...

Rarely do I see a 8.3L engine with the Cummins Blue logo plate still attached. Silicone still stuck where it was. Clearly it doesn't work. If yours is still attached, it will eventually fall off. Mine was gone too and I bought a correct NOS Cummins logo on eBay. They are hard to find. They...

Trying to replace all the missing items from the shelter door. Door itself is straight and seals are great, just parts missing. Pics online do not show much of the doors. Especially inside view Could you guys please post pics of the inside and outside or your shelter door? S-280 model only...

http://www.alu.army.mil/alog/issues/MarApr05/reality.html A bit of a read, but very interesting. CUCVs mentioned Didn't find if this has been posted before.

Administrators~ Time for a Generator only forum!? Threads for Generators totally dominate this forum. It makes it very difficult to sort through to find other info that isn't GenSet related. Can the Generators have their own forum? Looks like they certainly need it. Just a thought...

Picked up a newly acquired M101A2. Yard was packed. Tons of SEEs (40+) and lots of trailers too What was surprising is the number of trailers that were sold 3 months ago and are STILL there. I recognized almost all the M101 trailers from the last time I was there in September. GP guy said...

My S-280 Shelter that I recently won has everything-----except the door peephole. Must have souvenir for someone. Since this part is probably impossible to find. Need ideas as what to use. Hole is too big for a regular house front door type. Could make a plate for each end I guess...

The Texarkana GP site rep never answers his phone or returns messages. The phone number was verified by GP CS. Trying to find location of trailer I bought. Sale page says New Boston, TX GP CS say Texarkana. Big difference. Been trying now for 2 days to contact site rep. Always get VM...

M925A2 All stock TMs checked and search done as best as possible. Truck has been flawless for three years. Just parked it two days before with M989A1 still hooked up to it. Went to start it today and didn't get the ABS self check clicks and light remained illuminated. Thats weird...

Finally got to use my M989A1 yesterday. Won a S-280 Shelter on GSA. The guys loaded it up and it fit great. Just enough room on each side to access the cargo tiedowns. Still had room to open door enough to walk inside. Yes I know the trailer was complete overkill, but my other regular...

Weather is forecasted to be great next weekend. Anyone up for a meet at POPs soda and burger joint? Its right off Route 66 in Arcadia, OK. Big Parking lot and can park across sideroad if needed. Next Saturday 19th or Sunday 20th? Would be nice to put faces with usernames. Was there...

M989A1 has a great oak floor. No rot, but the CARC was starting to go. So yesterday I used an air hose with attachment to blow all the dirt and rocks from between the boards. Today I used 9 tubes of paintable caulk to seal all the seams and screw heads. Seemed to take forever. Then...

Picked this up Monday. Trailer stencils indicated it was from a Signal Brigade. It had a lot of strange racks on the sideboards and 4 big floor racks for who knows what. Any idea what these were for? The sideboards are teak underneath the CARC. Also came with two sets of bows and a brand...

Noticed on my nvoice for a trailer, no engine, that a diesel tax was applied. It was less than $4 but still. Called GP CS and asked why. She told me that if it has an engine and anything to do with emissions that the tax is added. I told her that it is a trailer No engine No emissions...

Picking up a trailer at Texarkana next week after some storms move though. It's looking like they will be getting some good rainfall. Is it a mud bog there after a decent rain? Cant tell by pictures if it's gravel or just graded lots. They only do pickups M-W 9-2. Of course! GP was less...

Just recovered a M989A1 HEMAT 408 miles towing a heavy trailer was an experience. Could not find much in pictures on exactly how it looked hooked up. A few side shots, but nothing in detail. I knew how to hook it, but didn't know how much slack would be in the power cord and air lines. Turns...

Discovered torn axle boot on passenger side. I have all the tools needed for this except the huge spindle sockets. Where can I buy these? Local parts places no luck. Would truck parts stores have them? Is changing it as bad as it looks?

Doing extensive PM for upcoming trip. Sprayed some lube in a few of these but they still felt gritty when moving them around. Took one off and found this. Took the rest off, all 22, and cleaned up each one. Reinstalled with a good coating of ACF50. Not only Lubes but stops the corrosion...

Searched but no luck Recovering a M989A1 Ammo trailer next week. I know/think the Gladhands color hooks up to the same color on tow vehicle. Whats throwing me is that on both my 5 tons, looking at the rear, the red is on passanger side and blue on drivers side. Looking at the front its...

I posted in the wrong place earlier. Will be be there soon for a trailer recovery and was looking for any info about this place. Thanks
