I just realized something. Correct me if I am wrong. If you run high speed gears, in order to run at the maximum Goodyear MV/T speed (I have seen 65 and 68 mph ratings for max. speed), you have to be running 120 psi in tires (per Goodyear document). I don't think our CTIS systems run that high...

What feature of the Steyr cab is a throw-back to the old days in the US? The side 1/4 windows open!

I am also attempting to gather info. on traveling in an FMTV through North America and Mexico. I am curious if anyone has taken one across the borders. Obviously, camo is probably not your best color choice if you are attempting to travel into another country lol

I need to get clarity on each individual state. What I need to know is, which States currently prohibit the registration of military vehicles. Are there States that also prohibit any surplus military vehicles from being driven on the road, regardless of State it is driven in and reciprocity...

First, a very Merry Christmas to everyone. I know MC is not politically correct, that is why I said it! I have tank designed for a horn and auxillary air for airing up a tire with Will's glad hans air gauge. What is the best place to tap into the air system for this? Obviously, brakes come...

I am doing a cooling system update. I looked at the parts list spreadsheet, but the hose sizes, cross references are not shown. I used the search engine on here and did not find much. Anyone cross these parts and willing to share what civilian parts they used? I'm aware that Eastern has the...

Anyone recommend a brand for the Serv and Emerg air lines on M1082? I noticed that some brands had complaints of kinks. Thanks!

Anyone sell a replacement NATO 12 pin cord for trailers?

I need to run some hydraulic lines to various components on my truck. I have deleted the air over hydraulic pump. I am interested to hear opinions on the following: 1. Are reusable hydraulic fittings too expensive to justify? 2. Where do you find best prices? 3. Are these fittings reliable...

My apologies. I forgot to mention that I recently discovered occult damage to battery and power cables on my truck. I mentioned it in a thread, but some may not see it. I bet there are a lot of trucks out there with low voltage at the dash and throughout the truck. Anyway, I cut one of the...

How many have had their driveshafts balanced? I'm try to look at all major grenade areas of my M1088, and then put into pictorial for all. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...anced-THE-POLL

The correct response to the following statement "You're always buying military stuff, you have plenty, why do you need a military trailer?!!!" (PPE is recommended) is: "So when a kick you out, I can get rid of all your stuff in one run!" Any questions? Bueller?.........

Dropping temperatures make me think about extreme cold starts at some point with my truck. TN is no North Pole, but if I start to travel, I'm I curious what people use to keep there CATs warm in severe cold. I know that block heaters have been known to cause a fire or two. I have seen dipstick...

Not sure if it is possible, but anyone have a hitch recommendation (brand) for picking up a M1082 with an f150?

Just replaced the Rapco filter. I noticed the heater in fuel filter base. Is this triggered by a temp sensor in the unit itself, or an external trigger?

Working on diagram of Cat 3116 common failure points Please provide input on any other areas that you have found, so that I can add. Open to input from all on this project Will do the 3126 and C7 too, if people provide info. specific to these engines. I may do the drive train later...

If you live in one the traitor states that yanked MV's off the road, consider contacting local media when weather strikes and discuss your plight. "MV owners are willing to help in times of emergency, and risk their own l lives to help others...it's not fair to the owners to take away their...

Just curious if anyone has done a CAT 3116 in-frame rebuild on a FMTV. I have minor blow-by, but may decided to do the pistons and rings and anything else out of spec. It runs great. Bet it idled too much during it's tour. I have the Carpenter Kit to do the top end. So that should make the job...

I have seen a lot of World, but had never seen this. Today I saw a Mercedes Van / Camper where the ONLY plates on it were from Germany. No State plates, nada. Apparently there is a Federal Law that allow you to import a vehicle into the US, and drive it for up to a year, without having to have...

My battery connectors look a bit rough and I may just go ahead and replace everything. Anyone know the gauge of the 3 wire in the box? I looked on the cable, it had a rating of 3Kv, but no gauge. I was thinking 1-0 maybe?
