Here are my suggestions on what to bring: *15W40 oil (not 20W50) *a breaker bar and lug wrench *at least a four ton bottle jack *insurance if you can get it *a set of alternator belts (without the alternator belts, you lost the water pump) *a few gallons of water for the radiator just in case...

Great job, Mike! You've got a really nice truck there.

If you are going for performance, then you don't want a bobbed deuce or 5 ton. Buy a CUCV, preferably an M1028. Then, add a lift kit and some larger tires. I suggest adding an aftermarket transmission cooler and possibly a banks turbo kit.

An aftermarket replacement part # for which item? The vise? The primer pump drain petcock? If it is the former, they are rare, but can be found. I just sold an NOS vice on this list, but it is gone now.

I understand that it is OK to post info about an item that is on ebay, but I don't understand why you can't post info about an item that you have for sale that is NOT on ebay. The only difference is one is on ebay and one is not. How does listing an item on ebay change something? Is it...

Marti, great job. The truck looks great.

Kevin, nice looking truck!

Congratulations, Brandon. See you at Aberdeen!

Who says they bought them from GL? If it is a fire station, they paid pennies when they screened them out, held them, and are now selling them for crazy prices. I should have said that they were asking that much because they can't be selling many for those prices.

500 miles??? Do yourself a favor. Have the trucks hauled out. PCTRANS does great work from what I've heard and his rates are very competitive. There is no reason to take any risks. What will you do for insurance and tags? Insurance and tags usually require that you know the VIN #s...

The M109A3 is already a little top heavy. By adding taller tires, you are asking for trouble. I was talking to a guy in the NJ AR NG and he told me that they did not even fully load an M35A2 with singles because the taller tires make the truck a little top heavy.

I hope they inflate properly. I talked to a guy who did that and a few of the tubes were pinched and cut. I am sure it will be fine. Nice rig you've got there. What rates do you charge per mile? I am regularly moving trucks around the eastern US and sometimes further out west.

My prediction: SW will stop selling CARC to civilians. HENTZEN COATINGS has long had this policy. I guarantee there is a newbie somewhere who went into a SW dealer talking about how they were going to re-CARC their deuce. Well, that word gets back to management and you have a change in...

Nice tanks, Dan. Love that 4 color camo...

JWALLER is correct. Don't turn your motor faster than 2100 RPMs for any extended length of time (i.e., more than a minute or so...and I suggest not even that long). These are low RPM motors and were designed to run at a maximum of 50-52 MPH. Some data plates say a slightly higher speed and I...

MKCEON is correct. It depends on the exact model of your tank. Some of the later M60 variants inevitably would have been painted 383 green (or CARC camo or 686A tan). The earliest M60s would have been painted semi-gloss (Vietnam era). The tanks used in the 70s and early 80s were painted...

To be accurate, they will fit IF your truck has the standard 900X20s on it. Some trucks are singled out with 1100s and other guys put even larger tires on their trucks. I should also add that some trailers already have 1100s on them and then your 900s (assuming that is what is on your truck)...

Greg, it is only interesting the next time someone uses this info to bid against you. Fortunately, I rarely bid in WI so I will be watching your results.

Chris, don't wait too long because they are releasing all of the CUCVs from the system. I have no idea what "too long" means, but I suggest trying to buy this year.

When I first saw this thread, I figured you were going to post some pictures of a bobbed truck. :wink: Seriously, though, I am sorry to hear about this. It sounds like he is maintaining a positive attitude, though.
