Saw this time on Lonesome715's deuce that he bought today. Was wondering what type of tire this is? It looks similar to a USMC LAV tire, is it the same?? What would the handling be like with such a tire, better or worse the NDT?

I saw a couple of old posts on this dealing specifically with deuces but not this specific question. I want to get a compression tester to use with a CUCV and also a M35A2. Specifically what test set and adapters should I be looking for? Reading the TM it seems pretty simple to do the...

All, Here's a warning order for LTC Frankenhauser's Funeral (ARMYMAN30YearsPlus). This information is based upon the latest info from the family. I am asking Chris/Mangus to put this as a sticky so it doesn't get lost in the threads. 1. David will return to the US on Wednesday around...

Folks I just got an PM from James2 (a new member) with zero posts and a location of "f". There was a link on that post that looks suspicious and the pm message sent to me had nothing to do with military vehicles. Suggest we get MANGUS to check this out prior to anyone opening the link...

The "elbows" that come out of the engine and go to the heater hoses----does anyone know if these can be picked up someplace cheap or even at a hardware store? I got a heater for the deuce that I'm picking up from ecostruction on Tuesday that was one of my deuces in the Army. I gotta put a...

Did a search on this but the only info I found went off topic very quickly and never got a response. 1. Would like to know if anyone has some valid info about the reason Letterkenny is no longer selling? 2. Are all items from there going to Ft Drum for auction? The previous thread stated...

What is the difference between the suspensions or frames of a M1008 and a maintenance truck? Is it possible to take the bed off of a M1008 and then replace it with a maintenance body? What major components will need changed out?

Assuming the drive train is fully removed, engine ran but a lot of the seals are leaking so I want to replace all gaskets and seals while I have it out. Assuming no issues with and components and all it neads is seals and gaskets, what should I expect to pay for a rebuild? What if I have a...

Here's some pictures from Gilbert. A photographer I ain't:

Want to publicly thank Eric (doghead) and Amy (dhwife) and Mike (maddawg) for helping me out this weekend during the Gilbert show to get a CUCV all the way from Ft Drum to Hagerstown, MD. They saved me A LOT of stress, aggrevation, and white knuckled driving. OH and thanks Amy for watching...

So I get the following emails from GL entitled sales@govliquidation.com Winning Bid Notification for Sale 3593 Actual two with the same title for winning two of the new skedco litters. Looked like the standard GL email I get when I win. Not exactly, seems the idiots put a FDA certificate...

Just a suggestion, if you are buying anything at a location in TX, you may want to get it picked up as soon as possible or it might not be in one piece after this weekend. Might be a buyers market if you live close enough to grab and go. Good luck to those in the Lone Star State.

Does anyone know the specific dates for Aberdeen in 2009? I knows it's in May but I am trying to avoid a schedule conflict and need the specific dates. Thanks

Anybody near Fort Drum or know someone that can tow a 1009 off of GL. I was suppose to go up this week and get it but have now been called for hurricane duty. They granted me an extra week for my trip out of country but now I am up against the wall.

Has anyone ever contacted a vocational/technical school or diesel mechanic training school to work on vehicles/engines?? I am starting to have some leaks with my engine of my 1009. At this time, I can't tell where the leaks are from but they are worsening to the point I'm getting concerned...

I have had several requests to help find the C2297/2296 box sets that are normally used with tanks as an infantry support phone. In three of the four cases the person was wanting it for use in the back of a deuce. Obviously you would already have to have a VIC 1 system installed for operting...

Is there anyone in the Norfolk area that can pick up and hold some two tents and some vestibules from GL. I am taking a trip for work and won't be back until the end of the month.

Is it too early to start the count down for the Gilbert (Tobyhanna), PA show? Any ideas on what the turn out will be? I know of four of us that will be there.

Figure I'd put this out as some professional development on VIC-1 power cables. There's basically 3 power cables for a VIC-1 system with 12 series radios. The first cable is an A3190664 which is a cable that runs from a 3 prong armored vehicle power plug (battery power) to an MX-7777or 7778...

During Aberdeen I had a young man who was probably in his early 20's or even late teens swing by my stand looking for M114 periscopes. His father had recently passed away and he was now trying to finish up his dad's project. If you are this person or know who he is, have him contact me via PM...
