    Tan CARC part number

    I found: http://www.sherwin-williams.com/oem/us/eng/pdf/sell-sheets/MIL-DTL-64159-type2.pdf and MIL-DTL-64159, Type II - Products - Product Finishes But I still want to be sure the tan listed is the right one. I've read on our site there are several tan CARC colors (lighter and darker ones)...

    Tan CARC part number

    I did call my rep (and I spend $750k+ a year with them!) and he said it was kind of confusing due to all the varieties. They sell tons of it out of that branch- but all the military contractors give them the part number specified in their contract- so they have very little knowledge about it...

    Tan CARC part number

    I'm looking for the part number on the current tan (desert sand) water-based TWO part CARC. ie-Water-Dispersible or WD CARC I choose it based on this info: So this seems to be the best paint. But what is the part number for: WD CARC (Water-Dispersible), TYPE II, two component, current tan...

    Sound,Heat insulation

    Roll-on bedliners are not as tuff as spray-ins, but can be applied anywhere, like under the dash and around wires. A kit for a truck bed could do a truck cab floor, back, sides and firewall.

    Sound,Heat insulation

    Wow, that stuff is pricey! Just looked it up. At that price, and considering it is for use in a truck, how do you think it would compare to roll-on bedliner material? Which is similar in price. I ask only because I could double coat everything in the cab with beadliner for the price of...

    Camp Dodge

    Went to camp Dodge last week. Got there, checked the engine oil and radiator- both good. Hit the start button- started right up. Waited 5 minutes for warmup, put the truck in gear and started driving. After I was moving about 30mph, I checked the brakes- good. Other then checking engine oil...

    Sound,Heat insulation

    Thanks. I was thinking about shooting the underside of the transmission cover (gear noise in an M35 is huge), the firewall inside the truck (but above where your feet sit), inside the doors and behind the seat. Probably not the floorboards, was thinking about Herculiner there for durability...

    Sound,Heat insulation

    3dubs, Very interesting stuff. If you paint a ridged steel panel, like the transmission tunnel cover in an M35, it shouldn't flex much. What can I paint over it with? Any advantage to painting the inside vs. outside?

    Hardtop with turret mount

    They seem fairly rare. The truck also has the cab reinforcements for the gun.

    Those Aren't Filters, These Are Filters!

    This is a common question/issue. Couldn't you just instal an inline one way flow check valve? Could be added to the plumbing and it would work with the stock filters or any aftermarket unit. I haven't looked at it yet, but I will take a look today. Any thoughts?

    FYI!!! HEMTT rims....

    Use threadlocker on the budcap-to-hub. You won't need to be removing them anymore anyway. If you don't and you try to remove the wheel, some lugnuts may break loose and some caps may break loose (with the lugnut still tight on the cap-clamping the rim to the cap). Could be a real PITA.

    Does anyone know?

    hyd power steering info

    I'm still curious, so I was giving this thread a bump- Why is it that you can't just rob the entire system (box, pump, column, steering wheel, ect.) off of a M54 (or similar) truck? If the axles are similar in width and the frame is a similar size, what make it not work? Is it just the physical...

    Has anyone actually driven a M35 20+hours?

    I drove 800 miles in 15 hours solo yesterday. Longest stop was the length of time to fill up with the fuel filler in one hand and a hotdog in the other. Got lots of rain and hail too. It went well, but I was already awake for 27 hours when I climbed in the deuce cab, so up for 42 hours total...

    Hardtop with turret mount

    I have a really nice shape insulated hard top that has the turret ring cutout and reinforcing rings. It also has the water tight vinyl cover on it. I would probably prefer a standard top though. How much is the ring mount version worth? I haven't seen a lot of them out there, are they fairly...
