It's an AGM absorbed glass mat battery. All they need is an AGM maintainer connected 24-7-365 and they will last 10+ years.

Nice find! Looks like you might have visited Lufkin TX recently?

Front spindle bolts and king pins screaming for mercy on that one.

Freaking snapped off starter bolt on GM engine :(

Mine did this, the air dryer sneeze valve was stuck open.

I stand corrected. Did these get MOD stamped on the data plate or something?

But those were on 1037 shelter carrier trucks not 998s? Edit: apparently there were 998s as well

Why do you call your truck "Avenger"? Was it an Avenger platform?

The Army didn't drain the Allison just for s___s and grins. They were about to pull it when someone decided coding it out was funner.

None the safety braces on my trucks go overcenter either. Yes these trucks are no G742, they all have these type issues and much worse too. Spend some time searching the FMTV forum for bizarre problems other people have had with the cab lift. There have been several resolutions posted by folks.

Sounds like a plugged restrictor orifice.

I drove a similar CCKW 266 miles not too long ago with no problems whatsoever at 45 mph. I would bring a backup fuel and water pump.

Go for the aluminum wheels, the A3 wheels tend to leak. Check your tire date codes, the MVTs have been out for over 10+ years now.

A 10k PTO winch. Works like a charm. Use a snatch block if you are sitting on the frame.

Yup it's a 1971. Now you know the number that would have been painted on the hood when it was delivered, that is a challenge to figure out for most folks. To determine what units it was assigned to, start sanding on the front bumper and rear bumperettes with a DA sander and let us know what...

Welcome! Don't remember seeing that one at the forestry auction. History starts with the serial number, can you provide it? Will be on the dash plate and stamped in the frame near the drivers side front axle forward spring mount.

Looking really good. That generator setup is a never seen accessory. A critique if you don't mind, the bottom box on the BC659 setup was used when the radio is dismounted, not typically seen in triple decker fashion.

Oh the G solenoid? In the pan.
