    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Getting even more intimate with learning about the air systems and 7 pin trailer intervehicular cable connector. Transmission service is next.

    4L80 Test set SuperFlow Supershifter

    I did not see a tools section & I’m not quite ready to list this in the classifieds section as I know nothing about these. I have 2 sets. I have not attempted to hook these up to any transmissions to see if they function properly. One is complete and everything turns on. One has a burned up...

    Would you pull 5 ton with this setup??

    I get it but I was pointing that due to the length of the goose neck I thought it could contact the end of the truck bed if the right terrain were encountered.

    Would you pull 5 ton with this setup??

    Looks well built! The only question I have pertains to binding. Tow bars have incline / decline flexibility at the truck clevises (knuckles) and the pintle hook in order to navigate road conditions that aren’t flat - roads that are like those found in places like Kansas or western Iowa. I...

    How many have had their driveshafts balanced?

    I feel your pain!

    Pacifist? Eh; not really. In my case it was under $30. Would have akin to pole vaulting a mouse turd. Not a hill with enough value that I was willing to die on.

    Same thing happened to me with a broken FMTV windshield. They withheld the credit card fees because they said that was not their doing. I can understand that - I don’t like it though. They could refund me that money and then they discuss their own reimbursement with the credit card processor...

    Those instances I could see more as a local decision and not a corporate one. If it were my business I might strategically “delay” select items but not for very long. I’ve also wondered if they sometimes transport some items to different locations to get better bidding and higher prices.

    Probably. But are they intentionally holding stick back that could be sold now?

    You make an excellent point. From a business standpoint it makes sense. But to hold on to them for a long period of time seems senseless. It also could be those trailers in the background have not been fully processed or “released” from DLA?

    I would never be convinced that RB/GP/IP hoard items or delay sales in order to manipulate supply for larger profits. They’ve got 10’s of millions of dollars tied up in inventory that they need to move. If anything, they’re struggling with trying to get items sold quicker. Between DLA...

    Fuel Lines Diameter

    If you can get me the part # or NSN then I might be able to find it. Also, most parts TM’s will show a “BULK” part # and may include sizes. The bulk # is typically for parts that could be made by unit mechanics. Making a fuel line or brake line would not be uncommon back then.

    Spring loaded latch pins on frame support tube

    Just found out that those hold the tube for the manual pull start cable / cord.

    The first thing I should have mentioned was whether you’ve looked at the extensive TM collection here?

    Spring loaded latch pins on frame support tube

    I found a name & phone # of someone who is very known about Mules. I just called and left a message. Before I pass along his contact info I want to make sure he’s OK with that. I should have asked sooner. Have you looked in our TM section to see if there a TM that could shed some light on this?

    Do you have part #’s or Native Stock Numbers for the fuel line?
