    Calling all Generator Owners

    I recovered My new M116A2-MEP-002A 2007reman generator set. I have down loaded the TM's and have perused them. I have also read and subscribed to various generator threads and gotten familiar with do's and DONT's of MEP-002A operation. So this pre-evening I went out and opened the hind-end...

    A turbo worth the hassle on these?

    My CUCV no, it's not worth it. Your CUCV, do whatever you want. If I want a turbo in a CUCV, it's going to get a 6bt mechanical.:popcorn:

    Wrecker Crane Remote Control

    I don't know how much force is required to move the wrecker controls but Radio Control cars use ground based systems that are legal for ground use. The systems for RC planes are not legal for ground use. The proportional control is built into the systems. There are quarter scale servos that make...

    M1008 shakes completely when braking

    Did you check the U-joints in the drive shaft? You also might have had a chord separate in the tire or a big booger stuck in the rim or a wheel weight that fell off of the rim.:tinkerbell:

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    I use this stuff for firing recalcitrant 6.2 engines. Either and 6.2 is bad bad bad, It busts them up. You can go to their website and find out where they sell it local to you. Yes the glow plugs work in all temperatures. If your worried about your posts, why worry but if you want to work on...

    Advice on buying a M1009.

    The local GL at Sparta is staffed with reputable, decent people, Mike and Seth. They are not running a used car lot but they will allow previewing by appointment. If you pursue the GL route, you should rendezvous with Kenny S (a member here on SS up there and look at M1009 if they come through...

    Advice on buying a M1009.

    I would walk from that deal. Learn about GL and watch if any more come up for sale. Get to know Kenny S. here on steel soldiers and ask him to preview any that may or may not come up in Sparta. I have 7 M1008s here if you want to see what nice- good running 6.2s should look like. I think you...

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    Hmm, time to coordinate some load out and shipping details. I want a flat bed trailer style and it needs to come to Wisconsin. I want a near perfect one that only needs PM and fluids change outs and such. I can't fix big stuff due to the MS. I'd prefer hauling the truck in case of breakdowns...

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    If I'd a known You 2 would do this, I would have bought 2 at those prices and have had the hired trucks there. Thanks for offering and I will keep this in mind for future reference. Your fee and expenses are reasonable.:driver:[thumbzup]:cool:

    M35A3 in the Sand

    If the CTIS is turned off the higher and lower air pressures are installed in the tires, do the activators on the wheels keep the pressure for reliable road operation? :D

    What is better (oil or trans fluid)

    Yes, the tranny needs to come out and get dismantled completely as far as I know. :rolleyes::!: Aircraft mechanic trained higher up in a national transportation fleet who now owns a newly purchased 4,000ish miles M35A3 who I sold 2 new tires to told me that oil is slipperier than atf ( some...

    Iola, Wis military show

    May I bring my cub cadet and use it on the grounds? I ask because I have MS and a lot of walking will only occur for me If I have 3 weeks to do it. My insurance man said the cub is covered if the deck is off. I think driving the A3 to get around would get crowded. :grd:

    What is better (oil or trans fluid)

    Your intended uses match my uses and no heavy work. The transmission shifts great. I hope a yearly drain and refill will keep the tranny fresh and operational for the life of the truck. 2cents by the way some have had the problem of after the flush 4rth gear and reverse go out due to an o ring...
