    So the MTVR adventure begins

    You could be onto something because the two prior trucks were from the Army. :)

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    I should have added that I don't think there is much rhyme or reason to how it works. I thought mine was going to get approved quickly. It did not work oout like that on the most recent truck.

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    My most recent EUC took TWO MONTHS and I've been through the process literally dozens of times. My two prior to that took one week (all with GP).

    Have an FMTV, how is the MTVR in comparison?

    Have you contacted the site to see if they will assist with loading a non-runner? Another option is paying to have a wrecker lift your truck. They basically lift one end at a time and the trailer is backed under it. I've had to get that done previously. It is not overly expensive, but it...

    Have an FMTV, how is the MTVR in comparison?

    AW113SGTE, how did they load your truck? I assume the brakes are caged. Did they push it on, pull it on, or lift it? DISREGARD: I see your truck was the runner. I was mistaking your truck with the other poster who said he bought a non-runner.

    Any interest on a deep dive into Cat C12 oil systems? Specifically into Oil Pressure?

    I am interested in reading this information. Thanks!

    How to secure or lift the second axle when both wheels are removed

    Those black wheel chocks are most always missing. I don't want to hijack the OP's thread, but does anyone have a picture of how the wheel chocks are retained? I know they are stowed under the cab under the passenger side door. There is a hole on top of the wheel chock from what I have seen so...

    How to secure or lift the second axle when both wheels are removed

    A friend who is a fellow SteelSoldier and a retired Marine (motor-t) told me that they would run the truck up onto the two black wheel chocks placed back to back (to form a platform). The truck would be jacked up and the wheel removed. Then, they would chain up the axle. He said this was done...

    Remove Tax for Vehicles Shipped Out of State

    Can you research anything that shows that, if a vehicle is purchased outside of TX, the tax is paid when the vehicle is registered within the state? If you can find something like that, then you could show that to GP. This is how it works in Maryland. I showed documentation of this to...

    M52A2 Questions

    As you have surmised, the truck is probably fine. But, I'd either make sure they get it running or you get a good deal on the truck because you would be taking a risk. At a minimum, I'd insist on being able to make sure the engine is free. The others who have stated that the soft top is the...

    Have an FMTV, how is the MTVR in comparison?

    Considering the truck will require a detach or similar trailer, your $4K quote is pretty good (possibly on the low side). Speciality trailers cost more. If the truck could fit on a step deck (it can't unless you remove the cab top, windshield, exhaust, etc.), you could get it moved for around...

    Perfect. Thanks!

    Air Drain Valves

    Is it just a plug and play part or does it require any adaptation? I have one to replace, too. Thanks!

    A1r 1079 up for auction

    I once had a USMC M998 that had multiple bullet holes through the floor board...from the inside out! Well, that is what I suspected based upon the size and look of the exit hole. No real way for me to be sure. I also had an M1045 that had holes going into the door right above the supplemental...

    Black lights.

    I bought some black plastic rear composites from Midwest Military. They were manufactured by one of the OEM manufacturers. I don't recall the manufacturer, although I believe it is Truck Lite. I went with black because the camo right around the light is black. You could always paint whatever...

    Flat towing Humvee with 40,000 lb military tow bar

    My recommendation would be to have it towed. It is the safer plan. I have used a towbar to tow vehicles before, although not that far. If I had to tow something over like 20 miles, I'd get it towed or hauled. Personally, I'd rather spend the extra money for peace of mind. I wish you the...

    M1165 windshield wipers

    I bought my wiper blades off of eBay from C&C Surplus. I am using them on the same truck and they work fine.
