. Don't be too disappointed with whatever you might get back on a FOIA request. The most you might get is where the truck was last - maybe. It isn't like they will send you old maintenance records that were most likely destroyed when the vehicle is pulled from service for disposal.

. Wonder if you could polish it up a bit with something like jewelers rouge?

. I spotted the switch on the headlamp... Details. Again, really neat. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

. Definitely a nice writeup! Guess the warm sunshine helped?

. I couldn't imagine how neat that could have been... I have a hard time personally going to the radio shows because I know absolutely nothing about military mobile communications gear. Spending money on something has always been on things that I know a little about and I just haven't put in...

. @GTUnit , that PDF is about as complete a reference as I have ever seen for Tow Bars. It has part numbers for feet and pins and all the little missing parts that seem to disappear when buying an old tow bar from somebody. The instructions are there on how and why too. The REAL information...

. I like it!

. Is it possible that you have some sort of contaminates in the fuel? Maybe like trucks, some fuel additive will help cleanup the IP and injectors as it runs? As described, it has gotten worse with time. When did you last add fuel?

. Sometimes the term is cramming 5 pounds of stuff into a 4 pound bag. :)

. The polarity box could also have trouble passing current if it was marginal before it got wet. No fun, but cleaning all the contacts there and in the battery box , then applying anti-oxident paste should help. Assuming that you don't have sealed batteries - salt water inside a battery is...

. Any chance that you have an engine hoist? Or maybe a come-along and a tree limb? A flat heavy piece of metal that can be hung from a chain with maybe an eyebolt in the center to lift the tire... OR two friends who could lift the tire while you hustle the bead lock in place?

. Quick web search results in 7 to 10mpg and I would guess low.

. Looks awful good though... Nicely done!

. And water in a squirt bottle is a LOT safer to apply than using soap...

. Maybe you got a Marine truck that has a "locker" in the rear axle? Is it a clicking sound when you turn hard left or right on pavement - but makes no noise on dirt?

. @cucvrus , Hope you can get the "saw bones" to sign off on getting you fixed up. You are about the same age as your trucks, so maybe the rebuild won't be awful. I've had things go bad as I have gotten older too - and it is somewhat amazing the things they can do for us. The wiring isn't...

. Looks Good @FarmingSmallKubota ! Glad to hear that you have somebody who could do the sewing for you. Yessir, once the cover is on, sneaking out of the truck bed onto the fuel tank is over...

. The TM's (Technical Manuals) are free downloads here on the site. You posted on a M1083 thread. If that is the case, link is below. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1083-tms.209179/

. Interesting name for that cage code... BAE Systems Survivability Systems LLC rather than BAE Systems. Guessing that the lawyers got involved somehow - and if somebody got capped - well, it protects the bigger company. Even though the weasels won't be able to do much because "it was an...

. Yessir! My M936 has that problem in places. I've been working on that for the past year - a little at the time...
