Typically the USAF painted their stuff blue, that would be my guess.

Like the other guys have said, you have something up with your truck. Either a small battery drain or weak batteries. Cheap and easy way of working around the battery drain is to get a battery disconnect and put on your Negative battery post.

I've had a few "test" their merging skills with me and my Deuce (I'm on the interstate, they are on the on ramp). Once they saw that I wasn't going to slow down or speed up (impossible in the deuce) to make room for them and that my tires are taller than their driver's windows (all they see is...

Tried to find something in the RPM department, but no luck finding red line rating. Biggest issue you are going to have is: 1. Bolting tranny to it (hopefully it has an adapter plate available) 2. If its electronic controled that will be to get working

Grey area with the post but his question was not about a specific truck. Odds are yes they got wet/submerged, to what degree is unknown. 2cents

If it was silt I would expect to find in on every horizontal surface around the engine bay, not just where it is. I think Stalwart is pretty good on his guess.

Hope they look better after a couple of years than our restored Stuart tank did when the US gov't got it out of Haiti after years of neglect. Fort Snelling Military Museum - Tank Collection

Depends on how much care was shown to the vehicle. My Deuce is fine, but a friends needs replaced. The dirt had been in those grooves so long on his that the rust and dirt became one. He had to chisel the dirt/rust out of the groove just so he could see what his bolts looked like.

One more thing to look at that a lot of people don't think of is the u-bolts that hold the saddle to the rear springs. If the area around the u-bolts wasn't cleaned of dirt the moisture would sit in there and eat the u-bolts down until they look like a sand timer. Having your u-bolts break...

Had to be Desert Storm due to the M60. They went out of service in 1993. That being said I know there are still a few floating around at different training centers (Camp Dodge has one, saw it last year) but as far as combat units go they are all on the M1 platform.

Then the neighbors catch the bug and have to go buy their own.....true story

Welcome to the site. Check with Andydieselpower (www.army6x6.com) as he is in Owatonna and sells Deuces.

Would have to agree with Stalwart on the chunking surfaces statement. Last November I replaced all the pads on a M60A3 at the museum and the tank is driven primarily on gravel and we are having some chuncks disappear. Minus all the rubber that was burnt off the tracks while moving other tanks...

If your truck has CARC on it make sure to wear some PPE as that CARC stuff is hazardous to your health.

The buzzer is located in the center of the cab up under the dash. Just a black box thats mounted up there.

Tanks are drained every day that I drive it. Make sure to reclose the valves when you're done.

First thing I would do is get rid of the cat (I'm a dog person) :twisted:

Are you wanting these cameras to be permanent? If so then the top mount would be your best bet for mounting with the least amount of stuff in your way. You could (least intrusive manner) drill and tap some mounts to the hull. That or try to weld (not sure of welder type required) some mounts...

You do have to understand that most of the guys on this website are of the keep it original belief. They're not being mean by any means its just the group of guys who are on here.

Wasn't trying to say they didn't know what they were doing, my apoligies if it was read that way. I don't know the status of the NJ military units, I was more thinking out loud and typing as I was doing that.
