    Vets storm closed WWII Memorial

    I believe I would drive to DC to support this kind of civil disobedience if needed. Shouldn't the park police be at home and not working? Smells like a political stunt to me. Love the media hype "Storming the barricades". God Bless these men but I doubt they are storming much more than a...

    M929 Dump Truck flexibility?

    Better buy a civi truck for hauling your loader. Yes it will do what you ask, but every weight you listed is well over 5tons. I hauled 25k lbs worth of crusher run without adding sides. I wouldn't do that to my truck again. Civi dump can haul twice as many yards even if you overload a m929...

    Another Oil Question

    Seems to me its more important that we change oil regularly than what brand we use. I've always used SAE approved cheap stuff and never had a problem in my equipment, dozers and dump trucks. Rotella has traditionally been a good value for diesel engines.

    Picking up M925 from Dayton headed to SC

    Best wishes for your journey...sometimes your the windshield, sometimes the bug. With these trucks its a crapshoot but with it being a rebuild odds are in your favor.

    You are correct, Candler. Trying to get the tent moved by mid October for my oldest sons 6th birthday party.

    Need help please. M929 will not run. Still on base :(

    All good comments so far; 1)manually reset the emergency cut off 2) crack the drain and prime the sh*t out of it, let the fuel pour on the ground, if the airleak is a good one like my truck it can pockets of fuel in the line between pockets of air. 3) I'm a little disturbed by the sputtering...

    School me...

    That is correct, at least in TN it is. Its considered tax evasion by the original buyer if he doesn't register it and pay his share. Here in TN we are not allowed to register if the previous owner didn't obtain a title in their name. Laws may be different for dealers, but I know for a fact...

    M37's versus the Pinzgauers

    That said, I still bought an M37 and not a Pinz.

    M37's versus the Pinzgauers

    I don't view these trucks a equals, the M37 is an older design with traditional leaf spring and Axel suspension. The pinz has a modern fully independent suspension and as mentioned many had a form of locking diffs.

    Appel built beach bobber limo.

    I like the look, great length and placement of the rear Axel. Nice job.

    Canvas Top

    Not sure, but mine was real easy to remove. The rope behind the cab requires a screw driver to push it off the tie down points. I would imagine the reverse to be pretty easy.

    Crew Cabbin'

    I agree, lengthen the wheelbase, or could have a small box like the civi hummer truck. Personally I'd consider an extended cab with lengthened frame and rear Axel taken back to match the stock bed fenders. Never have I seen a picture though. Probably never been done, and with the age of...

    Usefulness of "regular exercise"?

    I have the same philosophy, I try to drive my toys once a week if not its every other week. Usually drive it to work for the day. I also take it to the gun range monthly which is a 35 minute drive. I think its necessary to heat the big nhc250 up, just driving it to work isn't enough...

    I think there is something wrong with my 923A1 fuel pump....

    I unscrewed the drain on my primer which allowed me to work the plunger in and out. There was definately air in the line (3pumps to draw fuel up to the drain valve) and this was the cause because this time I primed it up, tightened the drain screw and it fired right up without feeling like it...

    I think there is something wrong with my 923A1 fuel pump....

    So I fixed the idle surge issue, but when I first start my truck, warm or cold, its as if its starved for fuel, i have to floor it just to keep it idling and this last about 20 seconds before it begins to catch up and the rpm's rise above idle and throttle response goes back to normal. Once it...
