I would think that 2 gallons of green, 1 gal brown, and 1 gal black. You will have some left over though. Not to jack your thread, but I do sell new CARC if anyone is interested PM me. Look forward to seeing some pics of your completed project.
I am working on getting my M295A1 home and the trucker wants to know the kingpin height? I was checking the manuals, but wasn't finding what I wanted and past posts all talk about sliding the 5th wheel all the way rearward because of the clearance with the landing gear. Does anybody know for...
Well I can verify they were still being used at FT. Leonard Wood as of June 2007 when I was there. I also have a nice cattle car pic, but since it is a .bmp file the computer gods wont let me post it. If I remember right it also has at least one displeased soldier in the background like...
I think it is meant as an un-ditching roller similar to the half tracks for crossing trenches and such. That is about all that makes sense. It is definately unique for sure.
Yup, that's the one. I'm at camp dodge right now with the national guard, so i'm over there almost everyday working on it. The radiator isn't as bas as it looked in the pics, but the fan hub is the worst thing to replace. Other than that it has a ton on hours on it, it doesn't look like too...
Does anyone know where I can find spare part for my M818/M809 series truck? I have been checking around, but it is hard to find a salvage yard or reasonable dealer for spare parts. I am looking for a radiator, fan, fan hub assembly, water pump pulley, and a few misc small parts? Anybody got...
I am looking for a small shipper who can handle 20,000lbs and below to haul a 5 ton from the Des Moines IA area 291 miles west for me. I also need a company that can hook up and haul an empty semi trailer from camp ripley mn to SE south dakota. Uship hasn't helped much and all the people...
Well Idaho Motor Pool doesn't have any so there goes my one good lead. Anyone else have any ideas? Unfortuanately there aren't many MV boneyards around so i'm kinda up a creek right now.
The pics were correct this time. It did show the radiator damage pretty clear and the fan laying in the pass floor made it quite obvious. They didn't list any mi, hrs, or anything else besides the NSN and number of the truck. I wish they would have been a bit more detailed because that might...
Yes it was the one from IA. The GL guy told me about the last mess with the wrong serial number. Small world. Did you get a chance to look that truck over when you were there or did you just bid online? I will be there in 2 weeks for national guard stuff so the guys will let me look it over...
Does anybody have a lead on a good take out or new radiator for the M818 anywhere in the midwest? I just bought a truck that the fan went through the radiator which needless to say makes it somewhat deadlined. Thanks in advance.
