    Dodge truck in Norway

    That looks to me to be a WWII truck, although I don't know all the model numbers for that era trucks. It looks extremely clean!

    Ether system troubleshooting

    It generally doesn't get very cold in MD. But, it does get cold on occasion. It was recently in the single digits. I've started my 1998 M1078 (with the 3116) and it always fires up. My 2007 M1085A1 with the C7 is a slower starter, but it always starts, too. I assume (and know) Indiana sees...

    Moving to Russia

    Wierdest thing with buying a car in Russia...and this info is dated by about 15 years since that was the last time I was involved with helping my father in law look into a new car...the new cars at that time did not come with radios! It seemed as though everything was extra. I will say that...

    Moving to Russia

    My father in law had a 1972 and then a 1991 Niva; he gave the 91 to his nephew, and it is still on the road. Not too much change stylistically. Good vehicle. He loved his Niva.

    My trans oil swap to ATF

    My first move when I used to get a truck with an Allison transmission was to take it to Allison for servicing. They would do a fluid swap and check everything out. When I got there, they always asked me if I wanted 15W40 back in. I asked them what they'd recommend and they told me Transynd...

    How many miles on a multi fuel?

    I concur with the other posters. 34K miles would not concern me at all if the truck ran well and was in good shape. What would be of interest to me is the care provided by the current owner. Did the current owner put a decent amount of mileage on it (e.g., they put 5K of the 34K miles on it)...

    How do you make a LMTV NOT suck in the snow?

    I concur. While we don't get these types of snows down in MD, we do get them. I drove my M925A2 through 34 inches or so of snow, and the truck did well. You knew it wasn't summer, but the truck pulled through it all. I was by myself, with no back up to help, so I was worried a bit. I did...

    Its cold outside lets talk Heaters, H81, H82, H83, etc.

    I thought I saw in the manual there was an electrical connection for 120V use. But, I might be mistaken as I don't know a lot about these heaters. I will do as you suggested. Thanks!

    Its cold outside lets talk Heaters, H81, H82, H83, etc.

    Does anyone know where I can find the 120V electrical connection for an H140 Choctaw heater? I recently acquired it, and I'd like to test it out. I can obviously cut the cable and splice something in, but I'd prefer to find the correct cable. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Choctaw H140 spark problems

    Sorry to co-opt the OP...but...I cannot provide any substantive response, but DOES ANYONE have the A/C plug? I have the same heater...but no 120V connection.

    M813 vs m35A2 which is bigger

    Yes, I was thinking of the T831s.

    M813 vs m35A2 which is bigger

    Rich, Firestone made some really nice looking 1100s for the military. I've only had them on one truck. Very aggressive tread pattern. I forget the model number, though.

    TRUCK M35A2 U.S AIR FORCE

    I have seen the air scoop mounted facing down as in the second picture, but I don't think it is correct. I have installed a few heater kits, and I don't recall that in the instructions. The deuce in the background shows the air scoop in the proper mounting direction from what I have read...
