    Changing The Growler Tires

    Oh no don't use silicone or you will never ever get the rim apart again for nail hole patches etc. There was a post in the Growler forum where someone asked about the O ring I recall. You MUST use new O rings or you will have leaks just like you are. The O rings in 16" sizes can be bought...

    CARNAC's Historical VIN INFO Thread

    The A3s would have been in the database, but no queries were made of the A3 NSN's prior to the database going off line.

    M920 wheel and tire help

    Guys I would not recommend goofy MK48 tires/rims to fire departments. They need tires they can find and have repaired at local truck tire shops.

    Pete's Mechanical Services - BEWARE!!!!

    That is entirely your fault. It is impossible to blast something like that and not have to overhaul it afterwards. Next time wire wheel it.

    M920 wheel and tire help

    Those 24.5's are very common on log trucks and vacuum trucks. The 22.5s are used on highway trucks. Both sizes use "10 hole Budd" pattern, stud centered.

    M1088 Upgrades

    MTP has a very impressive facility in western Louisiana where they rebuild all sorts of powertrain items on contract with DOD and sometimes OEMs that have DOD contracts to rebuild their own trucks. The trucks such as HMMWVs are not brought to MTP for the installation of the engines, rather...

    M920 wheel and tire help

    Tell your supplier you need common 24.5 rims not 22.5. That grinding rim process was so private owners could use HEMMT rims on the front axle, and should not be done on a government owned vehicle.

    Which engine in an M35A1?

    Nice! What is the frame stamped serial number starting with M? Might be able to get the registration number from the historical VIN thread.

    Backup requested.

    That can be easily field fixed. Use some string and a tape measure to adjust the tie rod such that the tires/wheels are parallel.

    european lighting

    The OD green one came with the lollypop European lighting kit. But you may need to use a different lamp, depending on your laws in BE.

    M109a3

    If you are in Texas just do a simple bonded title. If you have to have it transported from Colorado to Texas, be aware these have to ride on drop deck trailers which bring a premium in the trucking business.

    CARNAC's Historical VIN INFO Thread

    OK after TWO DAYS of working on this all day long (free time thanks to COVID), the M35A2 database is cleaned up more or less. Important points: This file is M35A2 without winch only. With winch data was not pulled from the database prior to it going off line. The UIC (unit information code) is...

    2001 Chevy C3500HD FLATBED

    You bought a fine truck there. That "Heat-Sync" device is there to solve the big issue on these trucks, which is the overheating of the PMD which is the "Pump Mounted Driver" meaning an electronic circuit that takes gas pedal position info from the engine computer and increases and decreases...
