    LAS VEGAS_BRAND NEW M1097R1 owner- Any tips?

    . Shell is a brand that should be available most anywhere. Rotella 15w40 About $16 for a gallon NAPA also carries what they call Diesel Heavy Duty 15w40. Don't let anybody try to sucker you into synthetic. Changing your oil three times with regular dinosaur oil is better for your machine...

    LAS VEGAS_BRAND NEW M1097R1 owner- Any tips?

    Welcome to the Outfit! Seems like you are about to have some fun. Don't know what you paid for your toy, but you have to be smart. There are books that will explain a LOT of things because parts are NOT cheap. Technical Manuals (TM's) were written for the young men and women that kept these...

    Lmtv/fmtv air/crane attachment behind cab

    . How good were you? No FLA's? Almost as much fun as a Reese Hitch plugged into the back of a (insert vehicle name here) and you roll around the corner in a hurry. That THUNK sound on the chin will bring you to your knees... Almost takes your breath away! .

    The next Project an ASMH

    . How much fun would it be to sneak up, attach the slings, raise the box and swing right!? Then you might actually have some real excitement when the door was opened. Gotta be good. Lower the box to within a couple feet of the ground so nobody was seriously injured... .

    TM Question

    . The "Closed For Comments" in the TM Section is just to cut down on opinions about the Technical Manuals. Once posted here and the upload is "Closed" that confirms that we have a known good book. AND that it is confirmed to be Approved for public release (distribution). Lifted from Mike...

    Lmtv/fmtv air/crane attachment behind cab

    . Maybe post a picture to know for sure what you are describing. There is a really heavy bar behind the cab that has about an 8x8 inch square tube that pulls out an insert on each side with a big eye. That is how the LMTV's are hoisted onto a boat. Is that what you are talking about? It can...

    New M1078A1R

    . I would guess that the charger on the passenger side of the vehicle was a way to have a 12v charging port and not give the ability (to appear) to endorse operation of some sort of mobile device by the driver. Co-Driver or Observer could even have a legitimate reason to use the charging port.

    Two new toys unimog 404

    . No bad mouth. That is just how that plane functioned. But light it up and she would definitely Spit And Get! If I had a choice, and unlimited money - I would own one. .

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    . Yes! Like the drag strip we had out on Highway 16. Never was a problem until the idiot that ran it decided to peddle drugs. He had a choice. Go hang out in the jail, or shut down the race track. Our airport was a little one stripper back when I was born. Now we have 3 (Left, Center and...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    . I almost wonder if a one man cross-cut saw wouldn't be a useful thing as well. When a storm comes along, eventually fuel will be a problem. A simple "Man Powered" saw also starts every time...

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    . Hi Eric and Welcome to the Outfit! #1 and #2 - Painting One thing that is REALLY IMPORTANT is that CARC is a carcinogen. Sand it and You Die is the short version of that story. I have trucks that have 20 and 30 year old painted CARC that are definitely faded, at least a little but that...
