Yes. Joe Young from NJ (RIP), a long time deuce dealer, told me he used to do it back before they had winter and summer blend fuels. He was a fuel oil distributor. I don't recall if he ever told me the formula for correctly doing it, and I never thought of doing it given the winter fuels that...

I use Power Service diesel fuel conditioner mostly, but I've also used Howes. I have had good service from them. I actually use that stuff all year around. The biggest thing I'd caution you (and everyone) about is making sure you burn through your summer blend fuel before it gets really cold...

I don't believe the actual wrecker bodies were different between the M936s (other than the spare tire location...1100 vs. 1400). It is not like the differences between the M62s and M543s.

The dead giveaway from this pic is the 1100x20 Goodyear G177 radial tire mounted on the body.

Kudos. That is a tough install from what I've heard.

I believe CARNAC also acquired an M35A2 from a unit with which he served.

That is the mounting location I've had previously! Again, only a few M939 series cargos I've owned had the pioneer rack.

You can always convert it to a turbo engine. Several of my non-turbo trucks were converted to turbo. No noticeable difference in performance in any way from the factory turbo trucks. Off the top of my head, I had an M275A2, M109A3, and M35A2 converted to turbo. I believe I can make out a...

I'll second what NDT said. Those issues look fixable to me. I've seen plenty of repairs like the one near your hinge where the military just welded a patch on top of the sheet metal. When done neatly, I think it looks fine.

Unless there is a reason for it, I'd suggest listing them separately. You will most likely get more and sell them more quickly.

I no longer own one of those trucks, but I believe there were straps on both sides. I do know that I have had trucks with straps on one side only so maybe that is the way they came? I don't fully remember, but I know I've also had trucks with straps on both sides. With that said, I never used...

The uprights and elbows go in the front headboard. The top bows go under the bed as GUYFANG stated, and KENDELRIO acknowledged. The top bows are secured using the straps. If you have six top bows in that storage location with the straps tightened, they are not going anywhere.

The -1C engine was the engine that originally had the whistler turbo on it. However, by this time, the turbo could have been replaced, or the truck rebuilt and a different turbo added. I've had -1Ds with whistler turbos, although I don't think I've had a -1C without a whistler. I know it is...

I have never seen a 2-pin to 1-pin adaptor. I am not saying they never made them. I just have never seen them. As GUYFANG pointed out, they made 1-pin to 2-pin adaptors.

I only used the supplied gaskets.

I put together and installed an NOS hard top once. It is a good amount of work. I assembled it on the ground, lifted it up, and then bolted it down. You will need a helper to lift this up and put it on the truck. It was only my brother and I dealing with the top when I did it. I bet...

Thank you for your service.

Charlie175, I talked to my brother; he graduated Ranger School in 1987.

Yes. When he thought he was in for life, he wanted to be a General. And, I believe he told me that there has not been a General who was not Ranger-qualified. I may have that slightly off...it has been a while since we talked about it. He could have said "4 star general." I can't remember...

Also, he was Ranger-qualified...not assigned to a Ranger Battalion...I have heard there is a difference...not in training...but in the fact that he was not in a Ranger unit. He did wear the Ranger tab, and he was very proud of it...even more proud than graduating second in his class at Air...
