    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Finally got my flat mirror painted and put on the passenger side. The convex bottom on the MRAP mirror was really hindering my seeing the load dump, or any trailer. I like to often look at a pulled trailer's tires, and backing a trailer was as bad as trying to back one up with a modern "truck"...

    There is a "water in fuel" light? Where is it located?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    That's funny you say it's best at 70-80 degrees. I have noticed it's best when not too hot or real cold too. This with all vehicles. I just assumed it was because it was manufactured in a 70 degree factory, giving it the exact same tolerances when the outside temperature matches where it was...

    Oh, thanks. That makes a lot of sense. I will do that.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks Ahab. I really like it so far. The ABS is very awesome. My 5 ton rides like my VW (other than bouncy and noisy!) and sometimes I forget that a trailer without ABS will lock up it's tires. I have smoked out the vehicles behind me more than once. With the truck heavier than the trailer it's...

    You mean there can actually be an engine noisier than my 6.2? My 8.3 Cummins in the M929 is much quieter.

    Issues with SF-97

    Did this not get posted on my first attempt, or did I make the font the same color as the background?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Mmm, zika flavored skeeters! Today I traded my M1061A1 for a tan M1082 LMTV trailer with BRob18E. Put 250 miles on it, as we met about half way. It again, ran great. A differential rear input seal slung a little oil on my way to Finlay, but quit on the way back and no leakage today at all. It...

    Issues with SF-97

    Your name could be the same as someone elses that has a bad rap sheet, causing every step to be double checked. It happens with NICS checks.

    How many more HUMVEES for sale on Gov Planet?

    They will still sell for the "real" value, determined by interested parties.

    It just happens at times. I think nice clean hands and filter just make a way better grip than we realize. Plenty of times I have broke out the massive channel locks to loosen filters I know darn well I only hand tightened, with oil on the seal.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I have had plenty of these Chevy's and only one CUCV, but this applies to either. The pulling brake may well be your flexible brake hose and not the caliper. It was the case for me, more often than a caliper. The internal lining of the hose gets cracked/damaged with age and a piece lets...

    Like having an EUC for the same bayonets that I can go buy at a pawn shop. Big bro lookin' out for us! I smelled my M1008 rust today.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I love my CTIS! Very assuring to know that if I pick up a nail dumping at a landfill or scrap yard that I will still be able to drive the whole day with no flat tire, until I can get it plugged. I have a couple of valves that leak very slowly and the tires will be somewhat low if it sits about...
