Download all the free TM's for your truck off this website. Blow up a printer if you have to. Study them thru & thru, you'll be amazed at what you come to know.

NAPA has all the lugnuts you'll ever need: 1-1/2 nut with 3/4" fine thread LH & R/H. AKA "Budd nuts". L/H on the driver's side.

Why nobody sets up a hardmount 12V compressor and a small tank, & a "Johnny bar" to control the air brakes all those GI trailers come with. Far simpler than goobering up a nice trailer. eBay NAPA Plus, if you have an air hose to hook to your gladhand, tires that need air are not any...

Vacuum brakes suck. Tee hee.

I can't resist... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-diesel-m37.207039/#post-2464623

It seems the alcohol in today's gas eats up the rubber diaphragm in engine-driven fuel pumps, thinning the oil. There are a number of good electric pumps available, I've had good luck with Mallory. Just make sure to mount it back by the tank, not under the hood as new gas vapor-locks easier...

Don't change them out, they are rare. Being sealed units, there is no danger to you or anyone else around them. You'll get more exposure levels with one airline flight than driving that truck for weeks. I have a ex-USN counter with an "Operational check source" on it, lots of clicks but very...

A non-dropside bed 5-ton. I can see why they went to the other bed. I'm spoiled by it.

A stock M37 with 9.00's will have a "Sweet spot" speed of around 47 to 50 mph.

The entire G741 series of tacticals was undoubtedly one of the best engineered vehicles ever fielded. One can see the transition from the WW2 trucks, thru the T195 test bed trucks, to the final product. Properly militarized from the earliest production, worlds advanced from the WDX/WM300 PW's...

Sometime back there were photos of M34's with the proper trailer, the M104. It was similar to an M105, but had a different, lighter frame and ran more offset wheels (singles) and 11.00-20 rubber. The most prominent feature was a front tailgate in addition to the usual rear one. If you look...

Is that a Mity-mite in the back of that slung deuce?

I repowered a M725 ambo with a Caddy 472/turbo 400 years ago. I had lot of Goat tries/wheels then, so made up adapter plates to run the 11.00-18 NDT's. Our son took it on a ska band concert road trip from Phoenix to NYC, and the 4 of them slept on the bunks for the most part. It pulled a gear...

Nah, just buy another one. They just never hold up after opening them. A hint: Put a ten-amp inline fuse in the power lead of the feed from the headlight switch to the turn switch, it can save you trouble and money. Conelrad

Yep, that is where mine goes. Lots of fun getting it up there, tho. D

Lotsa' bridge 800's. Lotsa 1st Armored rigs. My M54A1 came with 1st armored nmbers on it. Still does...

Yep, a 400Hz 1HP motor can turn 5200 RPM, and is about the size of a Quaker oats cardboard can.

My biggest problem is keeping the soap water solution going. With our heat, it dries up in the damn squirt bottle. I'll tend to the educational video when it cools off later in the year. D

I'm not that far from you, here in Hidden Valley, SW of Maricopa. Dennis

I tried to find a decent video on YouTube showing how to do it, none of them are correct, but they did the job with a lot more work and improper tools. I've been doing all my own MV tire work for many years, and with the right technique it is not a big deal. I'm going to have to make my own...
