    M998 Pics

    If you can secure the rear of the truck via cable,chain, come along to a tree, you won't require chaukling the wheels, but each recovery and environment will dictate what is feasible. MM winches are good....there is always trade offs. ifmyour happy with it...,that's all that matters. Approach...

    M998 Pics

    I disagree on the winch....there is a reason the goverment dumped all the MM winches folks. One complaint I hear both in the military and on the trails is if your motor ain't running....you got no winch, in the military this can happen with fording gone wrong. Another is that the RPM's have to...

    It would be nice to just get the Bodies off those trucks.....they have really dried up. the rest of the stuff can be had.

    Finding the next HMMVV contractor up for bid

    One of the reasons AM General stopped the H1 Line was having to get the truck compliant with Federal Crash standards, that would have required that they crash test several $150,000 Durmax equipped trucks....remember, the H1 has a Ford Escort Sterring column. So alot of the parts used to make it...

    Front Differential Mounting Question

    Yep...that would do it. The fronts are longer then the rears...by about 1in. I know this as I just went through this on my truck. Curiosity killed the cat, so I measured them.

    tow bar rent or borrow

    Couldnt agree more.....I was with a maint unit for 5yrs, towed many many trucks with the wrecker, it takes EXPERIENCE to do this folks...it's one thing for a military unit to do it, as they are left alone by L.E. and state troopers. insurance isn't an issue either. We used to have a buffer...

    Battery switch on (heater fan, lights work) no gauges or engine crank?

    I had that issue with a 923, it was a PCB....I found one used for 50.00 and no more issues...make sure you get the right one...800 series look the same but won't work.

    Noisy fuel feed

    Valve is noisy regardless of what tank is selected....the lines pulsate...but so do my m931.... Just no noise...it's quite audible...if,not for that, the 8.3 just purrs.

    Noisy fuel feed

    Just got the new M932A2, I noticed where the tank selector valve assy is, it makes a rather loud ticking noise...when I grab the lines under the cab that is where it is coming from...my 931A2 does not....I noticed that the noise seems to come and go....more come then go. anyone seen this on any...

    Barstow- New Rules?

    The folks at French camp are great....never a problem, couldn't be more helpful...I only bid at French camp, if I can't go see it or drive it home....I don't want to bother...I used too bid elsewhere, but was always a problem of some sort.

    GL site down - extending auctions?

    Ahhhhh....yes, I am one of those lucky ones who got an m932A2 out of French camp....for cheaaaappp. After 1pm or so I checked and noticed no one was bidding and site was slow....real slow. Looking at final bids on all the trucks I noticed that they didn't go over like 4100.00 I think...but that...
