I have had the relay fail years later after doing the DH modification. Installed new one, same brand and p/n and no issues since.

She cleaned up decent. Sprayed it down with Ospho Rust Inhibitor today. NOS military trailer electric cord ordered. NOS parking brake cables ordered. It looks a lot rougher than it feels. Power washing did wonders. Will feel much better once it’s painted.

Looks ready to rip that right off the tow vehicle.

Never Ever assume that a Law Enforcement will let you slide on something. While it’s true we have discretionary latitude on some things, most of the time we do not. My personal view on former military vehicles might be completely different than the guy flying with me. It’s the guys who try...

That’s quite the modification up front. I wouldn’t trust that as far as I could throw it.

See if there’s a date on the tires. If so I would use that.

My first thought is have you replaced every single piece of rubber fuel hose? The ones at the fuel tank, under cab, etc? There are threads that describe on how to park the truck to help diagnose fuel prime issues. At an angle, nose down, etc.

Excellent idea. They are proud of them that’s for sure. I will price a new Dexter axle Cheapest option wins.

Data plate on the A2 tank. Not sure why someone obliterated the NSN number. It’s readily available online. The front jack works great once it was oiled and greased. It actually looks to be a fairly new replacement part. I might keep it and install a secondary jack so I can hook it up by...

I power washed it today. Looks a lot better but forgot to take pictures. Will do that tomorrow. Great thing is with the tongue modification that was done, it sits level when hooked up to my M1008A1. Safety chains reach is perfect. She’s gonna take a bit of prep before paint.

Recovered the water buffalo yesterday. The chassis plate shows it started life as an M149, then later updated to the A1 version. Still researching the differences. At some point, the A2 stainless steel tank was installed and that tag says 1987. Unknown if it’s a manufactured date or installed...

Still not correct. Where in Norway?

You need to be more specific in your location. Just listing Europe does not meet the site rules.

Yep Same here. On both counts.

Post your parts needed in the Parts Wanted forum. A heavy truck parts store might have them also.

Got it for $400 A little pricey I thought but it’s really close to me. I’ve always wanted one of these.

Won a 1987 M149A2 at auction. 400 gallon stainless steel tank. Big plus is it's less than 40 miles from me. I pick it up next week. Lots to do and first thing is a good power washing. Basic maintenance and new tires. Then 383 Green repaint for sure. Looks like pintle section has been...

Sounds like Friday late afternoon workmanship. Yes it happens. The manufacturer will not do anything about it now since it’s been surplussed.
