It's a 1970. The two digits prior to the "C" are the year of manufacture.

Well it's not a 1963. What is the first part of the VIN on the data plate? The year is imbedded.

Shipping on that van will be brutal because it is 12' high and has to go on a double drop deck trailer, which is "specialized equipment" and gets a heavy premium in the transportation biz.

Yes final answer.

M172A1 Lowboy trailer 25 ton capacity.

That is a good looking Mule and an early one at that.

Hmm, maybe visit his profile and see if you can send him an email. I think you can. There is a button to do so.

That is b4thundr. Send him a PM.

If ever there was a semitrailer that NEEDS a 3.5" pin, the M1000 is it.

Forestry Auction special? I like how you have the pintle set up on your trailer to secure the transported trailer.

Welcome and good luck with them. Fording kit usually means USMC truck.

The VIN is C12414373. That is what is stamped on the frame. Try running that. It's a 1971 model.

On FMTVs, it can be quite difficult to remove the U-joint caps due to them being rusted in place. You are supposed to use a $350 puller that most of us don't have. The rear driveline on LMTVs is hypersensitive to balance, so it's best not to pry on the yokes or use a sledgehammer to beat the...

Can you fix the typos in your post. Looks like the 4LE-354 wastegate turbo which belongs on the LDS 465-1A

I completely agree. Everyone I know who has removed the 20" runflats did it with a sawzall. I would like for anyone who has pulled a 20" runflat out like a HMMWV one to post up!

What is the boost at 45 mph? No boost and indeed you'll need the check the exhaust turbine. You guys need to understand, the LDS all smoke, just some way more than others. I think Gimp is right about the one and two hole injectors having a lot to do with it. This engine design is from the...
