    Shop van...rv?

    Awhile ago there was an M109 shop van on GL that was converted by the military for a generals quarters. Soldier of Fortune had a great article a few years ago about the "Y2K war wagon". They took an M36 chasis and found a commo van body that was longer than the M109 body and made a really nice...

    MEP 15A 1.5 kw carb leaking

    OK, here is the problem. The butterfly shaft that runs through the carb on my 1.5kw generator and connects to the engine speed governor on the side is leaking gas. From there a linkage runs down inside the generator. Gas is leaking out along that shaft and then trickling down the linkage into...

    Influence MV Magazine

    I just wish they would make it monthly. It is such a great magazine I hate to wait every other month. I wouldn't think the cost would go up that much, but it would be worth it. I wonder if a bunch of us submit an idea like that to them they might take it under concideration??? PS..I tied it...

    repacking wheel bearings/hub

    Well i'm ready to start repacking my wheel bearings on my M211, but had a question for you guys. In between the two wheel bearings is an area about an inch deep and goes wheel bearing to wheel bearing. On my truck this area was full of grease, but i'm not sure if it's grease that spewed out of...

    SPEWING HER GUTS IN THE PARKING LOT water pump woes

    I would think that a civy pump would work for the truck as the 302 was used in several trucks for many years. All I have around here is a take off pump off one of my engines if you needed it.

    We have several of those bolster trailers in our motor pool at my guard unit. The tongue extends outward to lengthen the trailer. Then there are clamp on stakes you can put on the front and back to haul logs, lumber, etc. I'm not sure if they can haul a shelter or small conex or not as I...

    Help with Peltor Litecom

    I have the exact pair here and love them. They are really nice when you need help backing up or hooking something on ect. That's one thing the VIC 1 can't do. I have also wondered if you can add music to them. Let me know if you find out for sure about the cable for them.

    New M816

    Can anybody tell me what the deuces went for at camp ripley? I was watching the auction and was going to bid but I was at work and never got to see how they ended up. I really want to know how much the one with the blown motor went for.

    1952 XM211

    I have tons of spare parts for the M211/M135 trucks. Give me a email if there is anything that you need for yours. I love these trucks, they are so simple to work on and they look great. Just got back from the military, so I'm resuming my restoration of my 54 M211. Good luck with your project.

    1942 M211, M222? How much is it worth running?

    can you post a pic of the truck for us? Sounds like someone put an automatic in a CCKW. I have heard you can take the CCKW tranny and put it in the M211 since it is the same engine. I'll bet they put an M211 tranny in a CCKW. Pics would definately help though. I don't think the OA 331 gasser...

    GMC Hydramatic

    I have a brand new REB kit in the box for sale on the classified section if anyone wants it. You will have to hurry though because i'm leaving for Basic in 1 week. They are definately nice to have and make the trucks easy to drive. Half of my trucks have engine oil, and my M211 has dextron...

    M211 intake manifold alignement sleeves

    I guess i'm not even sure what that is? I have a lot of spare M211 parts, but I don't know what the alignment sleeves are.

    REB kit for tranny questions

    You will notice the REB kit because it will have a linkage coming out and to another shifter to the left of the main shift tower. It actually bolts onto the left side of the shift tower. If you had some pics it would help.

    REB kit for tranny questions

    I might have misunderstood you. Are you saying that the "rebuilt" tranny you might get has the REB kit on it or not? There are no internal mods to installing the REB kit. You simply unbolt the valve assembly on the side of the tranny and drop in the new REB one. Hope I haven't confused you.

    REB kit for tranny questions

    There are no internal mods for the REB kits. Simply replaces the existing valve assembly and you bolt on the new one and run a lever up to the shift tower. Very easy and nice kit to install. PM me if you want a REB kit. I have one brand new one left that I would like to sell, it's in the...

    A 10 tire M135?

    Most likely they just bolted on duals on the rear. You can check that and see how well the rear wheels track the front. If the inner dual is right inline with the front axle then it's an M135. If they don't and are offset, it's an m211 or someone flipped the hubs. Either way, check the right...

    m211 conversion

    Just don't forget me!!!!!!!! I'm still planning on going.

    m211 conversion

    It could probably be done. The wheelbase as i'm sure you know is longer on an M211 than the M215, but with some mods just about anything can be done with these trucks. It might be easer to just locate an M215.
