Oh, if you have any type of accessories to your truck (I have spotlights etc) and want to keep your batteries hot without burning fuel, invest in one of these: It's a bit pricey, but it has saved my butt more than once. I modified mine to where I could "unplug" it and store it rather than...

Oh, and one thing people often forget about... Invest in this if you're *really* away from civilization:

I use my 5 ton for camping, and has been mentioned, air circulation is a must to avoid condensation inside unless you have a good mosquito net/bug barrier. I also invested in an inflatable air mattress and made a "mosquito net" out of sheer curtains. $40.00 solar LED light kit from Amazon takes...

I was gonna say... if you have a "C" turbo, there will be absolutely NO DOUBT in your mind... be cause your mind quits working after about 30 minutes of driving it! 😅😆😁

@fuzzytoaster can probably help.

I was stationed there in the early 90s and bought a 1968 VW bus.... Well, it was a VW Bus shaped hunk of rust.... but it was only $250.00 and mostly ran....

Good luck! Keep us posted!

Both my 5 ton and M715 are registered as FMVs in Louisiana and have no plates. As @G744 stated, don't worry about them or the scales. The scales are for commercial vehicles, not us. Carry a copy of the pertinent Texas law with you in your registration/insurance paperwork. As far as being...

One thing to keep in mind: hydration hydration hydration! You'll be sweating a LOT during that drive. Be sure you bring plenty of water in the truck with you and be sure to replenish electrolytes (it's what plants crave!). If you get tired, pull over! If I'm home from offshore when you pass...

Worst case scenario, put it in gear and hit the starter to move it. **edit** When Iost the power wire to the distributor on my M715 that's how I loaded it onto and off of the trailer and into the shop to work on it. Don't do it all at once or you'll burn stuff up, but short runs will...

🤔 I **know** we had some great entries last month that *surely* could be nominated this month!

Congrats @whitgreen77 ! Great competition this month!

Thanks Thanks!

I was gifted a copy and it's been taking up space in a drawer. I sent it to him to enjoy.

I don't listen to them anyway!

PM sent.

I have a copy that was given to me. It's honestly not what you think... It's more of a "This is what I did" than a nut by nut restoration. It's good reading, but honestly I haven't cracked mine since initially glancing through it

Every year at a local National Cemetery, Wreaths Across America puts wreaths on the veterans Graves. Today was wreath retirement. My kid and I were there, and between all of the volunteers who showed up, we recoverd 2,300 wreaths in about 30 minutes. After filling up two dump trailers, there...

Thank you! Unless something jumps out at me, I'm going to call this one "done" and focus on the M37 now.

You should have a VIN stamped somewhere in the vehicle. Is it military? If it is and you have a data plate, post a pic. If there is no VIN stamped ANYWHERE, you may need to go the "rebuilt" trailer route. PMing you.
