I have an M816 with the Cummins and it has the cold start system with the hand pump in the cab. It leaks fuel all over when it is used. I disassembled it and there are 2 o-rings on the end which I will replace and there is a brass collar at the other end which acts like a packing nut so when...
I can understand the OPs point a little. I have not paid the fees yet mainly because the way I read it was the fees would be "automatic" from my PayPal account. I am not a big fan of that at all. Also I have had so much spam from the classifieds in the past I dont see the point in paying...
I had a bad steering box in my M1008 and it would jerk the wheel to the right after a turn. It pulled the wheel right out of my hands and I did notice before the steering problem when I quickly stepped on the brake peddle it would go down and give a quick jerk back up almost like a modern ABS...

Well I am not real familiar on the older tanks but I have what I was told was an APU gen set from an old tank, maybe a Sherman. It has a 12vdc high and low charge and a 120vac and dc circuit with high and low charge. It is a single cylinder engine and has electric start by feeding 12v to the...
I got an email from Mike a few weeks ago saying they were discouraging people with MVs because they have more then 2 axles. I also talked to terry and got the same response but in more detail explaining about the culverts and the road damage. I was asked to not bring my truck so I will be...
This information is inaccurate! Multi axle vehicles are not banned they just dont want them out there at this time due to the damaged roads and temp culverts are not strong enough to handle the weight of the trucks. PLEASE do NOT show up with with a fleet of 6 wheel trucks. Contact Mike or...
I second the BFG KM2 I had interco truxs and they ware real fast, the mickys are real hard on the road and tend to slide in the rain, and I am a brand name person so off the wall odd ball tires I have never been a big fan of. I have had the KM2s for about 2 years and they hold up great and...
home heating oil is the same exact fuel as off highway diesel fuel and just red in color compared to on road fuel and burns just the same there is just no road tax on home heating oil or off highway fuel so it is usually about .35 less per gallon.
I second Gulfway. I have my M816 insured and they allow me to tow and it does not have mileage restriction or garage restriction even though I keep it inside anyway. It is less the 250 per year for classic truck insurance commercial policy but my registration was the killer at 590 per year for...
there was a military 15 ton under-lift unit in like new condition listed on eBay a few days ago and it locked into a 5 ton or 10 ton? fifth wheel. It said there were 2 pins one for each style truck I guess.

I just saw one of these going down the road on rt78 in PA when I was on my way to Cabelas. It was towing a FMTV. I was wondering what it was, all I really saw was the CCC on the grill as it past going the other way.
