    Ground Mobility Vehicle 1.1

    How cool is that? Too bad they don’t still have the previous GMVs (HMMWV based) equipped with the same Rod Hall race suspension used in the Baja 1000.

    Front drive shaft grease cap came off

    I would glue it back in place with JBWeld.

    What kind of rims are these?

    The pre 1970’s military wheels were riveted not welded centers, could this be what you see?

    Wide load

    Your plan is very confusing. My plan would be to buy a decent drop deck trailer with 40’ deck, and then sell it afterwards if I had no use for it. You want to be as non-sketchy as possible with this since you have to permit the load etc.

    USAF Strata Blue

    I would go with locally available industrial or automotive paint. Find the FS number and have them mix a quart for evaluation.

    M4 High Speed Mess

    That is a Southeastern Equipment “Wood Tiger”. Nothing to start with. Call Red River Parts and Equipment, they have numerous unmolested M5A4 high speed tractors for sale.

    Ha I was right about fastener ingestion.

    Hydrolocked, big repair ahead.

    Well time for surgery. If the block is busted then time to shop for a GEP longblock. If the short block is ok (unlikely) you could put GEP heads on it.

    Hydrolocked, big repair ahead.

    The GM 6.2 and 6.5,doesn’t have coolant in the intake manifold. Sounds like what happened is a fastener of some type fell into the intake port while he was running it open and got ingested and busted the head and piston.

    Price of a full frag 6 armor kit

    Not really sure why I would want to turn a nimble warrior into a clutzy heavy slug that can be defeated with a coke bottle some gas and a rag. But that’s just me.

    Got my m246a1 (reaper) home!

    Looks like only the brake backing plates were swapped, not the entire axle. The main data plate says M246, manufactured by International. I do believe that truck is a 1950's manufactured truck that originally was gas.

    m917 won't shut down.

    Next time it hangs up, reach under the dash and pull the connector off the ignition switch, if it kills the engine you need a new switch!

    In tank fuel pump

    Way too much current being drawn by the pump, if it burns up, well having a fire in a fuel tank cannot be good.

    LED Headlights for LMTV

    I put JW Speaker military LEDs in all 3 of our FD LMTVs and everyone loves them. About $150 each on ebay from time to time. Flawless.

    Isn't there supposed to be a rubber bushing here?

    There is no rubber bushing between the military wrap leaf and the eye leaf.

    That motor LDS427 had head gasket problems.
