    How badly did AM General screw up? This badly...

    I'm sure Oshkosh has learned a few things over the years building and rebuilding HEMTTs, HETs, etc so they used it to their advantage.

    1994 Libby MEP 802A 5kW Generator High Blowby looking for advice

    I'll take you up on that bet. It's an M762 1/4 ton flatbed for a M151 MUTT. :beer: Heck, if the trailer is in decent condition sell the trailer and you end up with a free generator! http://g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=207468

    lmtv price increased?

    It's definitely tax time, even GSA trash went absurdly high

    HEMTT info, just passing it along.

    1212 units said to be rebuilt but with "HEMTTs models account[ing] for 75% of this" making the total 909 units of 27,000 HEMMTs produced of all variants not including trailers..so roughly 3.4% of total fleet for the 2016 FHTV IV contract. I looked into the current distribution of models to see...

    Saying goodbye to Hemtt

    I've been there, it took a lot of $$$ for me to part with mine but that's the game.

    Wrecker wishlist of mods

    Those M989A1s are 11,000 lbs according to the dataplate. I've lifted 14K without outriggers at etc but it took low range to get it to move through the wet soil and steering was severely hampered. I can say I've pulled close to 20,000 on a static line but the wrecker began to tilt before the...

    98 LMTV registration in TX????

    The original buyer can but if it's past 30/60/90 days of sale (which ever they stated now) they could deny the request. I don't know why one would buy a vehicle without a clean title in hand. :shrugs:

    ad free

    uBlock Origin for Chrome is the best thing to fight ads. Unlike other blockers who sell your info this one doesn't. I haven't seen an ad in..years now that I think about it.

    5 ton recovery

    Impressive. So that "55 mph max" is a bluff. rofl

    Rebuild sticker?

    Depending where it was rebuilt there would be a data plate on the engine or sticker on the dash or even inside the driver door panel..or it may not..it's all a gamble. Miles/hours are best guess. Not all trucks got rebuilt and not all rebuilds were done with care. Treat it like an old truck and...

    How much paint?? M35 2-1/2 ton

    If you're going that route 4 gallons should be fine, it will make 5 after cutting it with xylene. If you want to be safe go with 5 gallons since you plan to do up inside the frame and some of those tight spots.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks, and no thanks haha. I've yet to wire it and that will be the fun part.. Area lighting, there's also one in the rear below the tailgate.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Got the Eyecon lights installed with some tips from M35A2-AZ. I had planned the setup since I saw the kit but he beat me to installing it. :wink: Anyway..onto the cab liner and HEMTT seats..

    Sadly no, the unit in question was shipped off to be rebuilt and is out of my hands.

    Anyone regret goin to 16.00r20 Tires on M923a2?

    Having 395s on my M923A2 and stepping up to 16s I know I will loose power from a dead start so some tweaking will be required. I do know a majority of my driving will be highway so the trade off is worth it to me. I will be running HEMTT rims in the front (if not all) to have the offset to...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    At risk of getting off track for this thread the 5.9L is a great motor. I did a bunch of research for a fellow SS member who was thinking of repowering his deuce with one and sources say as long as you can get an early-mid 90's 12V with mechanical pump you're golden. I see plenty of dodges pop...
