Once you finish with all the details and finalize the part numbers, post a new complete part list with any other info you need to put at the beginning of the thread and ask a mod to update your original part list post or put this info in the first post. That way the important info is in one...

None of the MVs mentioned so far are as comfortable or as efficient as a newer one ton dually pickup. That said, I enjoy driving my MVs. But, I would have been hating life yesterday if I was driving my M35A2 up and down the 10% grade of Teton Pass towing my 28ft RV instead of my '99 F350...

Don't wimp out on us now Scott! There is not one person who has turned a wrench that hasn't had something go in the toilet or grenade for no obvious reason. You just need to step back, take a break and evaluate the problem. A second set of eyes looking at a problem is also a good thing as...

It's going to be somewhere between what the big surplus equipment dealers are asking and what you see from the classifieds here. The prices from GL/GP are usually a lot lower because you are rolling the dice as to if the truck has major problems or even runs. If it doesn't, too bad. If you...

Looks good Ray. Make sure the gap around the drawers is smaller than the smallest thing you put in them so items can't launch over the side or back and be hard to retrieve. Or in my case, my wife puts something small enough to hop on the edge of the drawer and get stuck when you pull the drawer...

Thin the WVO with diesel. 50% will be fine. If you are in a warm climate use less diesel.

Yeah, SS (Steel Soldiers) ain't like AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). We don't provide support to end an addiction, we are enablers! I can only speak for myself of course... First I got a Deuce, surely this isn't too much I thought and I can stop here. Then I wanted a M818. OK, power steering is...

Thanks Artisan, but my M915A1 already has AC and it works well!

Ray and Ray’s next Adventure Well, this is a little after the fact because I don’t have internet where I am now unless I go into town. I won a M373A2 from Ft. Stewart in early June, two days before I was leaving to go to North Carolina for the summer. There was no EUC on this auction so after...

You can look for serial numbers that are close to your's in auctions of the same model truck and figure out the year that way. I determined the year for one of my trucks this way.

Welcome from Orlando!

The county, city, hoa etc. statute/rules probably defines a truck with 3 axles as a commercial vehicle. They prohibit the parking of commercial vehicles in your area. Before you remove a axle and think you are good, make sure there isn't also a weight listed that makes it a commercial vehicle as...

Save yourself a potential headache and just use the serial number from the data plate.

Have a safe trip Ray!

What would be helpful is explaining why the posts were deleted so the same thing doesn't happen again. Rustystud's request to know why the posts were deleted is not unreasonable.

Not yet, but I have determined the MV-3 valve stems will fit through the holes in the dash. I would have to drill holes for the mounting bolts. The other option is to add a PP-7 and make it a three control valve system. I have all the valves to do it, I just need to decide which I would like...

I wouldn't do that. That truck weighs 20K or more and will push you into the ditch or worst. Find someone that can help you with a big enough tow vehicle or go get it with a trailer.

What are you going to tow it with?

You can bar the engine over to see if it's locked.

Check the ground at the light that doesn't work and the other connections to that light, at the light. If the other lights flash, the problem is at the light that is not working, or the wires going to it.
