I had been trying to get a price on these two winch/bumper combos for months. The owner died and his spouse took up in the same mode of "call me in a couple of weeks" I will give you a price. This has gone on for three months, I was there over this weekend and again she put me off so I...

My spare tire hanger nut is so buggered up I can't get it to move on the threaded rod to load my tire? Anyone know the part number? Or another source, too many snakes and ticks to be crawling around in a junk yard!

The springs on my M1008 have a reverse curve to them, the truck looks fine but there is a definite droop to the springs! This truck was someones pet at a near by NG base so some modifications may have been made for comfort? Add a leaf or a new spring pack, if I can find a couple?

If you have recieved a title on a five ton in the last couple of months drop me a PM, I have seen some curious things on the last couple of my titles, I just want to see if is a trend? Thanks, James

My favorite duece has a radiator leak, started off as a hiss ended up as a steady stream. I have found a guy with four brass radiators in the crate. His only description of them is that they are huge! He is a few hours drive from me, I have asked him to see if he can find an NSN number on...

I have been using my 818 for flat tow recoveries recently and hauling the tow bar is way to exciting an experience! Has anyone built a carry for a towbar for a 818, there is room behind the cab. I just need a mount of some kind?

I have four ex-antenna mounts on my M1008 bed, does anyone know what size/thread count fits in the bolt holes? Also, the brown color exposed by the antenna mount removal, was this ever a standard color of the trucks, or is just rusty undercoating?

I want to restore my bridge plate on the M1008, what should they show? The top plate is for a trailer if I remember, I need that designation also. Thanks

Anyone here win the M820 that sold at Hooks last week?

I just spent $750 for a M127 good paint, new tires and a poor deck, not terrible but poor. A couple of the planks are starting to turn up and twist at the very front of the trailer over the king pin, I know a diesel and motor oil saturation will preserve the wood but will it bring it back? Any...

I have the new style fifth wheel on my 818 and I am having a hard time getting it to release the kingpin. I have read the -10 but still no help. My plunger handle has a triangular handle on it and there is a second lever with a small circular handle on it. I am on my own trying to drop the...

Some times it pays to live in out of the way places, I started watching a Forestry auction on GSA a couple of days ago, the yard is about 80 miles from my cabin. The prices were low then under a grand, but i expected the snipers to show up the last hour or so? They never did, I won the 813...

My M1008 is hard starting when it is cold, I don't like ether starter fluids even on small engines. But from what I am reading some folks swear by Liquid Wrench Silicone spray saying it will not harm the engine any experiences, I need some type of safe alternative to ether.

It looks like all I needed for the troop seats for my M1008 came in the back of the last 813 I purchased everything except the CLAMPS, is there a reasonably prices source for these? PAOZZ 19207 12255609 CLAMP ASSEMBLY,SEAT TROOP SEAT TO SIDE BOARD STAKE WELL NSN 2540-01-026-3049

I won a M1008 a couple of months ago and applied for the SF97 soon after picking it up in Little Rock. It's been weeks so I sent an email, they have had my application on hold due to the VIN not clearing CarFax? The vin they had on all the GL paperwork is wrong. The vin plate on the dash is...

Picked her up at Camp Robinson in North Little Rock, two new batteries, checked the fluids and a little gas to prime her and cranked right up. Only real need I notice right off is that one of the base mechanics liked the tires and I ended up with his old set of tires and wheels and no spare...

Saw a really nice M1008 at Fort Robinson in Little Rock when I was picking up a M101 I had won and realized it was the truck the ARNG yard guy had been driving around the base for years, really nice shape and I need a pickup that was 4x4 and hefty so it looks like more manuals to read!

I inherited responsibility for the company fleet of cars, trucks and trailers this week and as I made an inventory I have three container trailers that are listed as dunnage apparently they hauled in three back up generators for the facility and were listed as disposable dunnage? It was...

After picking up my M813a1 from GSA in South Mississippi I drove it about 200 miles to my parents home where it sat for months. Luck steps in my brother need to have the contents of his shop moved to just where I need to move my truck! He contributes $125 in diesel and a "military vehicle...
