    Need to know what series this 1991 AM general 5 ton is?

    SouthernSteel: Since you're the OP of this thread, I will ask my questions directly to YOU..... Is this a truck that you already own, or are you looking into purchasing it? (Several here have speculated on this, but we'd like to hear the WHOLE STORY from you.) If it's not yours, do the...

    PNW Info Thread!

    In the Bible, when told to flee Lot's wife looked back for "something" and turned into a pillar of salt. That's enough training for me. If God's saying, "RUN!!!", then I ain't lookin' back!

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    What have I been using the Deuce for lately??? Uh.... for a workbench while working on the XM-818 5-Ton Tractor! :naner: It's like the little guy holding the tools for the BIG guy's repair and restoration. The Deuce's tailgate is at just the right height for some of the parts-off detail work.

    put the M931A2 to work!!!

    APPLAUSE !!! Great little entertaining video. IS that bus being evicted from your property or a new acquisition?? Looks like ti "ripe for burial" and redneck conversion into a storm-cellar. What are you intentions, Soldier? Carry on.

    New 5-ton ... questions

    OK, I'll chime in here too. Thank God you still have all your digits. Since you're a self-admitted "new guy" i'll echo the whole "get to know your vehicle by reading the TMs" advice. With that said.... Welcome aboard :-D Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver...

    Best caption for M35A2 or other military truck picture?

    Since a picture is worth a thousand words, could you please post a copy of the pic you're going to post? Something about the angle, lens used, background, season of the year, etc. would really fuel our creativity and make the appropriate words flow from our fingertips. Thank you. Carry on.

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    This's isn't exactly the LOW FLYING that this thread is all about, but it surely IS an unusual take-off. So.... Just how do you get a float plane to fly off a concrete runway ?!?!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7osw2jcsi6Q

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I also applaud the photo of the folded US Flag on the front bumper of the Deuce. As a respectful display for a static photo, I agree it's tasteful. However, the US FLAG CODE is the "law of the land" regarding the use and display of our national banner. I should also add that as a relatively...

    New member from California needs help with registering a 1999 M1070!!!

    In this instance, does "moved" or "operated" imply DRIVEN from the auction site? OR is it inclusive of other forms of removal and assertion of new ownership such as TOWED, HAULED, AIRLIFTED, TELEPORTED or BEAMED, etc.? Thank you for clarification of the specificity of the LAW to which you refer.

    M-813 horn won't work

    Since no one else has yet chimed in..... Have you checked the troubleshooting procedures in the TM??? If not, please do so. If still no "honky", then come back with specifics. NOTE: TM's can be found in the 5-Ton and Up Forum top page.

    Glad hand service air hose length? 25 or 50?

    I carry a 50-footer 'just in case'. As for stowage, it's kept secure in the Deuce's toolbox. The XM-818 will also carry a 50-footer when she becomes operational even though she has glad hands fore and aft. Since both MVs are stored in our fenced backyard, I never have to move one should one...

    Cummins NHC 250 Seized Up w/ Pictures

    :nothingfunny: Therefore.... I'll speak my mind anyway. note: the English language is so much fun to play with! And with THAT being said.... When I first read the title of this thread I immediately thought: " The solution is OBVIOUS!" IF, "Seized Up w/ Pictures", then simply QUIT TAKING...

    Brandon, First of all..... Welcome aboard :-D Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver: OK, with that being said, let me show you around the website. I would recommend that your first stop be the MEMBER MAP (see the button in the header of each SS page?) Using it...

    The NASA Truck

    Due to it's relative proximity to our LZ, I have often watched auctions at Holloman AFB and the adjacent White Sands Missile Test Range. NASA has had a long standing presence there and some very interesting MVs used by them have been auctioned complete with the classic NASA logos. Holloman was...

    10 ton and up?

    Should we put a cap on the 5-Ton Forum to stop at 9.999-Tons? Should we also limit this thread to 10-Ton ~ 19.999-Tons? Should we then create yet another thread for 20-Ton & Up? Or should it also have an upper limit? WHERE WILL IT END ?!?!? Additional sub-threads for Green, Tan, Woodland Camo...
