I still can't beloved the terrible news. My wife was down with me to see john half a dozen times. I sat today and thought about the many trips to his place...too many to count. He was a great friend. The milveh world lost one of its greats. I still have a truck there in his shop! That is the...

John actually painted the trk in my avatar, including a dozen others. I can't believe this.

Very sad. What a good friend. He will be missed.

Welcome to the site, Fred. I am right down 27 from you in Damascus. Feel free to contact me if I can help you with anything.

I am not sure, Mark. Maybe, you could do it. However, they know how the transmission SHOULD shift and they set it accordingly. Perhaps, you have the manuals on that. We are talking about a few hundred bucks (I think it cost me like $350-400 the last time they swapped the shift modulator, flushed...

Take the truck to an Allison dealer and have them check the shift points. They will set it optimally. Once I get an Allison, my first move is to bite the bullet and take the truck to an Allison dealer (or a shop that is a licensed Allison repair location) to let them service the transmission...

My brother in law once used an M1009 to tow a enclosed Uhaul trailer with a bunch of beercans (he collects and sells old beercans) from MD to Pittsburgh, PA. He had to cross several mountains...fairly large by our standards, but nothing compared to what you are talking about. His truck...

That is what I posted also. My info came from a guy in the NG.

Yeah, I've never heard of that MWO, but someone who is serving would know best! Keep us posted.

WM has a great suggestion regarding the seat cushions. The batteries are available commercially if you want to go with the standard 6TLs or you can buy commercial equivalents that will fit in the box. Just take measurements.

I accidentally put my truck in reverse in low range once...it was the first time I ever got into an M939 series truck and it was already in low range and I had to back it off of the trailer. Nothing happened. If you were just idling or even applying very limited throttle, you'd be fine...but...

If that truck is complete and runs well, and the rust is not serious, it is a good deal for $5K.

$2,200 to have an Allison rebuilt? That is cheap. Get it done. If it will be a true re-man, the parts alone are near, if not more than, that.

Guys want to believe what they see and read. I bought a truck once that says RUNS. Well, it did run. However, they never mentioned the clunking noise. There is no way that should have been a truck that they touted as RUNS. At best, they should have said RUNS, BUT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE LEFT A...

Here's my take...$300 is too much. I have a very nice, straight from DRMO (back in the 90s when you could get nice ones) trailer with no mods or rust that I offered to a guy for $750. He decided he did not want to pay that much and I decided to keep it. THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE THREADvas the...

I think you will find it very difficult to get a unit out of RED DOT. They don't want to sell to civilians. Even Oshkosh does not want to sell MK48 parts to the public...or so I have been told by BBF...even though they WILL sell Oshkosh parts for the HEMTT. Go figure!

I believe the OP said the truck was uncut, but I would still look carefully for any cuts. One place to check is inside the battery box as sometimes the horizontal cut would be through this location. Make SURE it is uncut. A friend bought an M151A2 that was supposed to be uncut...he found out...

You will feel better if you have another driver with you. A tow bar would work, though. Make sure you have nice heavy safety chains...I'm talking like 3/4" diameter...to make sure the truck follows you somewhat in case of a tow bar failure. Good luck! :driver:

Previously, I posted a pic of the manual that states that the M332 trailers were not designed to be towed in tandem over 10 MPH!.

A truck without a title is going to be a headache. You will most likely get a title for it, but it always concerns me why the truck does not have a title. I have had trailers without titles. Personally, I am not concerned because I'll just scrap the SOBs before I let them worry me (not to...
