How tight of a turn are you talking about? If it's hitting the bumpstops as in turning as far as it will go then the power steering pump will disengage and re engage as the high pressure blow off valve returns excess fluid back to tank to keep from burning up the pump. Now, if it's doing this...

HEMMT's run on 16R20's on a bolt together rim. You are correct on the 21, that's an LVS rim from an MK-48 or one of the trailers it would have pulled around. You can easily tell by the 3 pieces with two bolts a piece that hold the locking ring in place.

I'm interested in the M151 Chevy C60. It doesn't have to make it there. Tell me what you think is a fair price, I'll try to lowball it and maybe I'll get an M151. Lee really want's an old jeep to hit dirt roads with on cooler nights. I of course need it like I need another hole in my head...

I don't usually downshift my truck when coming to a stop. If I hit a grade that it doesn't like, I ease off the throttle, rev match for the next lower gear and ease it in without use of the clutch. My truck has a weak synchro for 4th and that seems to work the best for it. As for slowing down...

I'll look and see if we have any left in Albany. I don't think it's likely as we've DRMO'd and shipped off most of our LVS stuff. I'll post back Monday as to whether I can find one or not.

I agree with Ferro in regards of use of the trolley brake resulting in most of the jack knifed trailers. It may sound crazy but alot of Owner Operator truck drivers use the trolley brake when using leased trailers to keep from using their trucks brakes. That's penny pinching at it finest. The...

I don't know how to link threads but I'm sure someone will come along and do so. I'll answer your questions in order. 1. No. 2. No. 3. It helped keep the motor from shutting down which would disable the powersteering, the Army felt that it helped. 4. Both motors were governed at the same...

I've got Hawkers in mine. Same size as the 6TL's so no battery box mods needed. One is an 03' and the other is an 04'. I've killed them down to 0.3 volts 4 or 5 times by leaving stuff on. They were so low that I'd have to trick my battery charger by wiring in a 9V battery to make it think...

I'm in somewhat the same boat. When mine's cold and the oil is thick, it can go into 4th without issue. When warm, it won't go into 4th unless you wait about 4 seconds and then it won't grind. I normally shift around 2,200 to 2,300. I know that my truck needs a new synchro on the 4th gear...

OK, I hate it when people pull this card at work. I'm going to play "Devils Advocate". You're going to take a dual rear axle truck and make it into a single rear axle truck. You're going to switch from dual rear tires on the remaining axle to single tires that are 11R20's. The tires were a...

The radiator cap should be an easy fix. You've already found it. As to the high temps. We've got to get used to that. The EPA long ago told the Military that those trucks will burn cleaner if everything is hotter. I dislike that statement. My deuce was smoking out the stack at idle earlier...

I'm in. Does "Proud American" need a driver? The first day is on my birthday but I'd love to drive that truck again. I can ride in the tractor if you're hauling it but me and Tony get along pretty good!!!! He makes some very fine SOS over bisquits.

Looking at the pictures, you're truck was doing what many of these trucks did in service. As long as it was just "wetting the block" and not dripping, the Army sent out a directive to do nothing. I even read it in a copy of PS which is the Army's monthly maintenance "update" if you will. I...

Just got home. Wonderful get together. I really wish I didn't have drill this weekend unexpectedly. When I set the dates for this event, I had no drill at all in July. Anyhow, it changed up on me and kept me from camping with 3D and ChevyC60. I did spend the evening drinking beer with those...

I'll be there. I'm not sure what time but it will be sometime Saturday evening. I still have drill this weekend but I might be able to get released early enough to drive my Deuce. I would love to drive my NG owned M1089 so lets see how this goes. For those who are wondering what an M1089 is...

The M934 is what I think would be a perfect camper. It's more work than an M109 as the side's slide out but if the A/C and Heat work, it's hard to argue with the extra floor space. I just slept in it's replacement, M1087 this past drill weekend in the woods. I think it would be a challenge to...

For the OP, I'll toss out there that mine is a 71' but has a engine that was factory built in '92 and that is how it came from GL. The truck could be a 86, blew it's engine earlier in life and the 66' motor could have been rebuilt by the military and installed in that truck in that motor's...

I wish I had known ya'll were getting together. As a Safety Specialist, I would have advised ya'll to not grab the chains slinging the bed and instructed how to use a "tag line" on a hoisted load to direct it. Of course I would have had a beer in my hand the whole time!!! Man I missed out on...

The King Machine. I'm actually really happy to see someone as a newbie articulate you're anger out in a constructive manner. Most people that are new and get bashed by moderators just cuss people they don't like out and get deleted from the site as a whole. I don't have a winch M35 truck and...

Neither will work. If you read the TM, you'll notice that the A1 and A2 trucks are slightly longer. The reason is the bed had to be moved back to make room for the wider spare tire carrier that is associated with trucks on 14.00's. They also run a longer threaded rod to secure the spare tire...
