For what it's worth, the "directions" that come with the hot water heater kits leave a lot to be desired in my opinion. They basically amount to a schematic. The instructions I had...and I have installed several heaters...basically just showed the layout, but the instructions did not tell you...

I have had many of the M44A2 series and M44A3 series trucks. In my mind, without a doubt, the M35A3 is the superior ride with regards to safety, performance, and comfort. I particularly like: dual circuit brake system, the back up lights, seat belts, better/more comfortable seats, upgraded...

An MWO is a Military Work Order. It usually entails things that the military decides to change on a truck. A real example is with the M44 series of trucks. When they were first designed, they did not have seat belts. Some years later (decades after they first entered service), the military...

Speaking of tire guys, a good friend in PA (on this list, but I'll let him announce himself if he wants to) had a tire guy who was in his late 60s. He would drive down from PA to MD and work on my tires. I only called him if I had a large job, like swapping six wheels/tires from one truck to...

Contact Wes Simpson (SIMP5782) on this list. He's the man for tires.

This may help to explain why I've had many, many trucks with non-standard paint. I once had a "3 color camo" M35A2 from the DE AR NG that was more like a five or six color camo with all the different greens and browns used. I never thought they might have had to buy their own paint. As an...

I stayed in a small town myself about 90 minutes outside of Moscow. We did quite a bit of sightseeing around, though, and it included Moscow.

My wife is Russian and I have been there, too. Very nice place to visit. If in Moscow, there are several really good military museums that have a lot of RARE German WWII armor. Also, I'd suggest going to the Kubinka military museum south of Moscow.

The crazy part is it took two parties to feel this truck was worth it!

I have had the truck for about four years and have driven it long distances (3-5 hours). It has 92K miles.

I have a 1997 civilian Chevy 3500 pickup with a 6.5TD. The gauge reads about 45 pounds when cold and at idle. While running (revving up) it reads over 50 PSI. When hot, at idle, it reads about 18 PSI. The truck runs beautifully and does not burn oil. I am NOT worried about that in the least.

Different vehicles, but you were not even supposed to swim the m548a1/m1015a1 as the rear bilge pump was omitted. The guy I bought my M548a1 from DID swim it for a brief time (he sent me a video). It worked because the one bilge pump was able to keep up.

I have not seen any ads popping up on the bottom. The only ads I see are at the top of the screen from vendors.

I don't know much (anything) about the Gama Goats. Do they have plugs that go into the hull/body before swimming them? I know the M548s/M1015s have such plugs. You are in for a bad day if you forget to put those plugs in and try to swim the vehicle.

The dip stick is under the hood, back by the firewall on an M939A2. On the earlier trucks, it was accessed in the cab through a door in the middle of the cab floor. I concur on checking/replacing the fuel filters. One additional curve, however (that is in addition to what FUZZY said): not all...

I sold one about 2 years ago without a title for $750 to a guy on this site. I had the paperwork to get a title and told him I could do so, but the price would have raised to $1000 (due to the time and hassle, tax, and title fee). He opted to purchase it for $750. My trailer was in original...

Contact DAVID DOYLE on this list. He has written books that included a lot of information on the various camo patterns and painting of vehicles. Also, you could contact CUCVFAN. He bought my M151A2 from me (or his dad did). That truck was correctly painted in the MERDC camo scheme. I love...

I concur. The RRAD M939 series trucks that have come out were NOT overhauled in the true sense of the term in most cases. There could have been a few trucks that had all rebuilt mechanical components, but that was not the rule. I, and others, have stated this previously, but they did receive...

I once lent an M35A2 to a friend who wanted to towbar another M35A2 out of a local base after his purchase. Being younger and dumb(er), I agreed to let him use my truck and towbar. The recovery was a success. Upon pulling into my yard after he dropped off his truck, he hit the brakes (I was...

What Dave has is a CBC shelter. That is the shelter I was going to recommend. I used to have one. They are very nice.
