I did not say that to start an argument, maybe you were doing 35 and the weight you were carrying caused the damage. I am not there to say. If it was squatting you must have had at least 3 tons in it. I run a 1 1/2 yard spreader in one and it does not squat with a full load of salt, that is...

You might want to go to church and thank the lord for putting his hand between the back of your heads and that load of scrap!!!! SOMETHING stopped that stuff from coming in and it was not the window, that stuff is piled higher than the window and should have come right through. Think about it...

In New Jersey it is illegal for anyone, adult or child, to ride in an open back vehicle. Of coarse the military has it's own rules. I don't know many states where you can legally ride in a trailer, how many of you remember the cattle cars?:roll::roll::roll: Rick

Here are some thawed out pictures. As you can see it is a parts only vehicle. **** of a haul for parts! Rick

So you can build a cage around it, that is my summer A/C. Rick

The snowballs get big and the trailers get real heavy! I don't even want to know what it weighed by the time I got out of the snow. Actually it got heavier first because it was raining very hard into all the snow on the trailer and it was 33 degrees so you know none of it was melting. The snow...

Dedicated? Maybe, Fun? No way! Not in a two wheel drive dually. 71/2 hours for a three hour trip. And yes that was in New Jersey, those pictures were somewhere southeast of Morris Plains.

Bought a M151 parts vehicle and was going to pick it up on Sunday but the weather looked like it might keep me at work so I decided to go and get it on Saturday. After all, It never snows in October in NJ. YEA, RIGHT!!!!!!!

I would bet my next paycheck that the cam bearings are wiped. A rod that bad would mean little or no oil pressure or flow to the cam. Check the rollers on the lifters also. Rick

Very nice looking truck. Although I am not a fan of bling I really like the look of the wheels, just the right amount of contrast. I agree with the others, if it is in fact a true survivor then do nothing to it at all. It will not hurt to run a diesel lean, it is not a gas engine so the theories...

Are you talking about the manufacturer VIN or the military data plate? The data plate on my CUCV is on the drivers door. Since these are known for rusting is it possible the door was replaced? Rick

You do realize that a CDL is not just an endorsement on your current license don't you? There is a fairly involved written test and then you will need a CDL truck and driver for the test. At least that is how it works in N.J. Rick

WOW! Someone a little grumpy today?!

G-Wagon, I was thinking it was one word. Geländewagen. Can't help with the Tatra. All I know about them is they are big and ugly.:roll::lol: Welcome aboard and I am sure someone will help out. Rick

He is not listening to you guys and he is not going to listen. He wants to spend money, period. He obviously has it to spend. He does not have a clue as to how to build in performance as is obvious by his descriptions of what he will do to get power. Go back to the "Is this a good deal" post and...

Just goes to show you are human like the rest of us. It also shows that you don't make excuses for a screwup. Rick

When an old guy like that tells you to do something a certain way and you don't and it does not work...................... They will not say I told you so, they will just stand there looking at you with a smile on their face. That is ten times worse than the "I told you so". :razz: Chances are...

I am a 40+ year master mechanic and carburetors and electric were my specialties. BUT, Since you invited me to NOT participate in any of your threads I will exercise that option. 73M819, Yup, same truck. You see my man, when you dump on people they do not forget. Sorry mod's, he had it coming!

I have operated a lot of rentals and the ones with long sticks are the worse. They put a long stick on a machine with hydraulics rated for a standard setup and it just don't happen. If that had been a properly rated setup he could have gotten himself out with little trouble. I have used long...

I am not trying to put anyone down, I just want to make sure everyone knows how to safely recover a vehicle. If you put a strap on a chain that is as bad or much worse because the strap builds energy and if the chain snaps then whatever you have on the chain will not hold it. Rick
