    Artisan's M916

    If I were you, I would pull the engine, set it on the bellhousing standing up complete with heads on, and pull the crank and send to get turned. Some numskull forgot to final torque that rod cap.

    LMTV M1079 11k self recovery winch installation

    Agreed with DiverDarrell. Huge piece of mind to have the srw there because one day you will be out in the sticks and need it for sure. I would break the install into manageable chunks: rear guide, winch itself, front guide, pto, reservoir, dash switches.

    LMTV M1079 11k self recovery winch installation

    Nope, no instructions, winch was a factory installed option. I have two winch trucks and can add pics to this thread if you can't figure things out from the "-P" manuals. The tricky part is the PTO.

    Goats at Hill Air Force Base Utah.

    I see your tax dollars hard at work there in the picture, 5 commercial haulers going 587 miles at $4 a mile amounts to almost 12 grand in transportation to turn in goats that no longer have demil codes.

    Truck tow and Storage around Red River Army Depot

    Blake will not want to do that. If the trucks are at the GP lot, they are already off base.

    Goats at Hill Air Force Base Utah.

    Hmm, those look like turn ins from forest service fire duty.

    slow leak in tire

    Run over the tread with soapy water, if good, likely the rim o ring.

    Found an engine heater kit today

    Problem with those is the hundreds of holes you have to drill in the hood and grille for the blankets. I would guess it would take 20 hours of work to install the kit end to end. Perfect for someone doing a dew line impression.

    Yup, Unicor does have that kind of reputation in the military.

    Mid-roadtrip NEED LMTV tires, I-90 anywhere between SD, WY, MY, ID or WA

    Take lots of pictures as evidence of Travel America ruining your $20,000 engine. You will want to file a claim. Anyone's guess what happens when you overfill by 4 gallons, no doubt the crankshaft hits the oil, aerating it and causing bearing failure. The cab hydraulic pump takes jack oil, fill...

    Front brake shoe broken

    MTP Drivetrain in Many LA needs to be your go to supplier for this kind of thing.

    M123 1400x24 tires needed

    Red River Parts has a few so so ones on rims. They are all so so as they were last made in the 70's.

    M123 1400x24 tires needed

    Try B and M Surplus in upstate New York, I got two nice ones from him a few years ago.

    Military identification painted on vehicle. Illegal or okay?

    Hundreds of military vehicles in collectors' possession have been restored with full unit markings. No laws against doing so.

    Extra bolts

    Maybe for the cover under the torque converter?

    2000 mile road trip in an FMTV

    All your temps look fine. Ah, the voluntary wardrobe malfunction. Something about Army trucks. I've enjoyed that twice over the years.

    Mid-roadtrip NEED LMTV tires, I-90 anywhere between SD, WY, MY, ID or WA

    You did alright. The 1079's can bring that money not running straight from GP. You have a known good truck.

    Mid-roadtrip NEED LMTV tires, I-90 anywhere between SD, WY, MY, ID or WA

    The Army runs these foot on the floor wide open all day long. Of course there is usually a wrecker in the convoy though.
