    Spin on oil filter for 1989 M929

    No one but the military kept using the old school nhc250 so the years don't align. M35a2 gave you the correct part numbers. Many threads on it here in the 5 ton section. The spin on come in many flavors of extended capacity, drain intervals etc...

    M923a2 Coolant System Drain and Flush:

    Adding a block heater to a nhc 250 is super easy. You can always capture and reuse the coolant with the drain cock if good.

    Log of my M1165. Project Joshua.

    Btw, the rak15 unit uses the same 3 pin connector on the flasher unit if you need to get one from someone maybe parting out a mv as they are the same for many years and trucks.

    M101a1 trailer rebuild

    Those are LT so they will handle higher weight and pressure. 30-35 normal loads ok and you have wiggle room to pump up when carrying a heavier load. Your limiting factor in my opinion is the tube. Is it a radial tube? Did you put flaps in to protect the tube?

    Combat rim valve stem size?

    Yes, you can replace the rubber seals. Not sure if those are fmtv or combat wheels. Probably need to check dimensions.

    Can’t find any info on a switch present on my Humvee

    I am guessing a field modification for an amber warning beacon light is my guess for the switch. Welcome to Steel Soldiers. As a kid I lived in Rome 1971-1972. Wish I had been older.

    Thread size for Humvee antenna base?

    You need to post the pics of the base data plates or pics might help. Most hmmwv have as3900 mounts but you can have older or newer harris models?

    iBis Tek incandescent light bar kit for Humvee?

    Ibis Tek IR/halogen light bars were installed in some MP trucks on the front windshield that also had flashing blues. Some slant backs also had a rear facing 24 inch light bar in the back. I have also seen some gun trucks with light bars on the turrets probably field mods. These were probably...

    M998 with 200 amp alt running in the red

    If you have wet cell batteries, pop the caps and check fluid levels. Batteries could be boiling over needing acid/distilled water mix. There is a simple ball float hydrometer tool to check acid water mix.

    What is this?

    Yes. Radio mount on a fender mounting bracket. Also newer style antenna mount tower. Sometimes there is a reinforcement plate underneath the fender for antenna tower. I would be interested in the tower and plate if you have no use.

    What to expect from a 3k Red River A2

    Looking at the pics again, looks like there are other treadplates & frames along the fenders on the inside so I am back to a special purpose support truck. :cool: Would be curious if it has other data plates in the bed. Also has 2 of the fuel/water older can mounts on the back right seat...

    What to expect from a 3k Red River A2

    Also noticed it came from the European theater with the red/yellow stickers required in Europe and it had the combat ID panels on the back fenders that are removed in demill but the brackets left. Also has the extended tailgate mounts as maybe there was something mounted in it. Shelter carriers...

    What to expect from a 3k Red River A2

    I viewed 100 trucks in mobile that all came from red River earlier in the year almost all m1097 flavors before they were cleaned up and listed. Most in good shape that were supposed to be recapitalized/rebuilt and were not. Issue is that they sat and got cannibalized and crap thrown in the...
