    quick question > tool carrier

    Yes. There was a early WWII version, but that is rare and worth big bucks.

    Found some halftracks in the woods

    That's how you want to find them, with the sub-floor intact with all the stowage boxes. Add repro side armor and you have most of it.

    New injection pump,still no start!

    Sundowner9000 gave you this advice about all the bubbles you are seeing: From the manual fuel pump to the fuel filter? No, it should be shooting out of that line extremely fast. If it put that line in a water bottle and crank, it would fill it up in 5 to 8 seconds probably. Sounds like you might...

    What weight Oil for Engine and Diffs?

    humvee headlight switch

    Welcome Mogger. Just leave the switch in the service stop position all the time and that way you won't drive with no brake lights. You don't have to turn the switch off when you get to where you are going.

    Air lines problems on M915A2

    You are saying when you pull the trolley lever in the cab, air comes out the front emergency gladhand? If so you are right, something is not plumbed right. Another fine RRAD rebuild, "we put the soldier first (sometimes)".

    Noob question: How bad ARE the brakes, really?

    Brakes on the deuce are just fine, you can lock up all 10 easy and she'll screech to a stop like your old Jeep. Just always remember they are single circuit and if they fail (due to you not performing maintenance), you will have to do a radical downshift and pull the parking brake which will...

    Newby - M813AI - Starter Isuues

    Welcome to the forum. You're probably right, the protective box died and someone has been jumping the starter solenoid directly from the battery. Try that until you get it to the house and can fix your wiring right.

    So it works - anything I may have forgotten?

    Fuel storage is the big question. How many gallons worst case, can you rotate the fuel back into your daily driver/tractor after x months, if not how to stabilize so no algae blooms occur.

    Information for braking instructions for a M1083

    The miltary does not train truck drivers per Federal laws which govern commercial motor vehicle use on public roads. Unless your former military driver is now a CDL driver, you will not get the expert testimony relevant in this case.

    Information for braking instructions for a M1083

    Sounds like you are representing the injured party. Unfortunately for the "City in Georgia", they were negligent in many ways. The over 26,000 GVWR truck requires a Class B operator, probably a Class B CDL operator. Government owned vehicles are not exempted from FMCSA rules either which...

    What do I have? M35a1 or M35a2

    I don't think that's the VIN. Can you look more forward for lighter stamped numbers?
