Replaced the bad fuel return line on the wrecker(M543A2) and no more leaks, pulled the fuel shutoff handle, no movement at all! Had to climb on the fender and reach down an pull the shutoff at the IP, not a situation I like! Does anyone have a good fix for loosening the cable in the metal...
I have a M448 1.5 ton van trailer I am refurbishing and I need two or more of the leveling jacks. Hopefully they are not unique to this trailer since the production numbers are pretty small. A drawing of the jack is below.
From D.Doyle's book it is too long for a M172? The deck looks more like 20-30 feet than it does 16 feet! I have a friend checking to see if they will part with it. It would look great behind my M818!

Bought four Rancho RS5134 shocks, they fit fine on the back but are too long for the front of my M1008??? I have a 3.5 in lift on the truck and they should fit but they don't! Anyone else with this problem?
I just finished looking at a Dodge WC 12 or 13 I think? I should have looked at David D. book before I went to look at it rather than after! They want very little for it but I just don't have a need. I told them to call me if it comes down to scrapping it.
The M1008 is up for maintenance so shocks are needed but white and red!?!?!?!? They look much better now, I hope the gloss(semi-gloss) will diminish on the boots once they dry completely, can't find flat to stick to plastic?
I have a set of Goodyear Wrangler R/T II tires, I am told they are not good for the M1008 so are there any trailer applications? I mean without a spacer to mount the tires! I have a couple of Pioneer Tool Trailers that I think run CUCV style wheels?
Any chance one of these will mount direct?
I know the lack of a real passenger side mirror (OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR) has been talked about before but I was never able to find the proper replacement until now. In the pass I called around looking for the wide angle type replacement mirror but had no luck. Well I...
I have a deuce bed to mount, I lifted it off the trailer, or tried to! I lifted from the center and I had the front of the bed three feet off the ground and the tailgate end was still on the ground! Since I am doing this alone getting on and off the 936 in 100 degree weather in a really...
I had a friend tell me about a M2 High Speed Tractor he saw in Oklahoma. After a week or so of trying to remember he gave me an area he thought he saw it in? I was in SE OK yesterday and dropped by just to check. He saw a small tractor but not an M2! Still on the hunt!
I won one of the Pipeline Grooved Coupling Tool Kits recently, mainly for the tool box which is a perfect fit for the bed of my M1008. The added benefit was the four full sets of US made tools for the pioneer tool racks! On top of that it contained four long handled shovels, a post hole...
Has anyone used some of the clear fuel line(diesel) that is available, if so where did you buy it and how has it held up? The last couple of military gen sets I have gotten had what I guess was clear when it started out but turned yellow and brittle!
Found a scrapped 1008 bed in a local junk yard, bed was toast but it did have a couple of antenna mounts and a base. This base is much more complex than the one I currently have on my truck, just for looks.
I "won" a U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Command, ICE interconnecting box with hard case, P/N: 13608010-2 unit yesterday(sealed bid), on the CD it shown it covers HMMWV, FMTVA, HEMTT and STRYKER. Apparently there is a second CD in the set does anyone know if it covers the 939 series vehicles...
OK, before the "we have a search feature" crowd begin, I did! My wrecker has 14.00R20XLs on it. I can get a good deal on a dozen 395/85R20s(MRAP) tires and wheels, how do they compare? About the same? I know they are both 20 inch wheels. Are they interchangeable for the wrecker(full set)?
Is this a real truck or has someone just CGIed this? This would be a real project for a M818WW I have just waiting on an Updated! After all this would be as close to what I really want as I would ever get, since I don't have a quarter million dollars laying around to spend on a hobby!
I have a couple of small compressors and generators that have the Yanmar L40A Diesel engine. All of them have sediment cup type filter that should have a cylindrical fuel filter in them, I have never seen one in one of the cups but they are shown in the TM! This is the only fuel filter...
A must have, or at least that is what I told my wife. Little Rock Air Force Base is about three hours from me and sometimes interesting things come up for auction. I had been watching for a safe way for a 61 year old to work above shoulder height. And these maintenance platforms would come...
