    How many different 8.3 liter cummins blocks are there?

    Is the block for our M939a2 trucks the same as used in a 325 HP 8.3 in a motorhome from the late 90's? Yes, I searched. Yes, I called Cummins. Yes, I called several parts places to ask for numbers. No answers forthcoming. Old bad block motor number is 45383673. New block part number is...

    RG31 MRAP bumper on a CUCV

    These bumpers aren't as heavy as you'd think. Listed weight is something like 159lbs, before modification. Modification includes lopping off 18 inches and adding some 4" channel to bolt to the trucks frame. It's still a work in progress. I'll update with more pics once I have it completed.

    1/0 Welding Cable for use as slave cable

    I picked up some slave plugs and ordered some 1/0 Welding Cable to use to assemble some slave cables. The cable arrived and is smaller in diameter than my existing slave cables. My understanding is slave cables are 2/0, so I had every intention of the 1/0 cable being overkill, even when used...

    I'm trying to find a way to get a winch here from NY. Or if we can get it to GA maybe I could hit CARNAC up to drag it back here with him when he comes, not that I've discussed it with carnac. ...

    What is it?

    Sometimes I find myself bidding on things because they're heavy and made out of steel, or because they come in nice crates. These are both. Part number 2198200034. Turntable for M984A1. What exactly are they? (Can't add pics - may try again later)

    Truck Tractors are not QUITE Identical to Cargo Trucks

    So today on the side of the road I learned that the switch to the left of the steering wheel on M931A2s changes where the fuel gauge reads, but NOT where the fuel feeds from. That function is performed by a nice little lever to the left rear of the driver's seat. Extreme caution should be used...

    Bumper fabrication, and is cucv same as 1988 k5 blazer?

    I've been contemplating fabricating heavy bumpers for CUCVs. I don't have a CUCV but I have access to a bumper off of a 1988 k5 blazer and intermittent access to that truck for measurements. If I make the bumpers to fit this k5 will they also fit the CUCV? My research says yes, but I want to be...

    No Title for Truck - What Am I missing?

    I bought a truck from an individual. He wants to give me the original SF97 and a bill of sale from him to me as transfer paperwork. My understanding is that the original SF97 is only good for that first transfer from GL to the original purchaser and that subsequent transfers have to be with a...

    GL no longer processing trailer titles ( m1101)

    I just received an email from GL to the effect that they are having "complications from the government" processing sf97/titles for anything requiring anything sf97/title. Resolution timeframe unknown. Hard to justify this one as EPA related when the trailer is zero emissions.....
