. Got to remember that the Army has more manpower than most construction companies. Those neat grease fittings on commercial trailers hubs aren't on military trailers...

. Nice piece of information @Zed254 ! Thanks for sharing.

. Yeah! Thanks @Floridianson !!

. Might be the cheapest fix you ever did to a MV. And it makes more difference than most things too! Congrats and happy that you got them replaced...

. Doesn't show you much, but there is a door behind the speed gauge that holds the paper. Square hole to turn the paper and a series of pens for speed and rpm. If somebody has a 915, 916, or a 920 maybe they could snap a picture of it open...

. Thanks @SCSG-G4 Who says you should READ THE TM's? Like maybe in the -10 where it tells you that the bilge pumps operate only when the engine is running? Was that important? CRITICAL INFORMATION can be found in those crusty old books... .

. We have a nominations thread that pops up on the first day of the month. @papabear runs that operation for the group. Link for March 2022 is below: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mv-of-the-month-march-2022.208043/#post-2429539 Then on the 15th day of the month, the nominations...

. That is definitely an adventure!

. Better and better... Gotta hear this thing going "Udden Udden"...

. Not really sure how it is supposed to work, but back in the day when companies treated their employees a little better - the tachograph was used to measure the rules - but also was used to verify new routes. Carolina Freight (now defunct) used them on everything. So long as the driver and the...

. Here in North Carolina, Transporter Plates are something that can be applied for. Might be worth investigating in your state too. .

. Wow! From where I am sitting, You have a fantastic job! Nothing quite like fixing on MV's all day and getting PAID to do it...

. I just had to snag a few pictures to spruce up your post @NEIOWA NICE find! .

. I have and did a lot before the first SF97 showed up. It really is pretty crummy, but even though you paid for the truck they aren't in any hurry.

. Help from Simp is a possibility, but I guarantee he doesn't run one. What about looking in the TM for your M920? The papers are still available, and the "Pens" are also available because I use those on humidity monitoring equipment in the print shop. Yours on a truck would be electrically...

. The other answer that they will give is "30 working days" not calendar days. Remember too that they operate at "Government Speed" which is completely different than the speed of the rest of the world. Exception to that rule is if you owe them tax money... They expect that to happen quickly...

. I dunno, but if it did I need to become pals with some of the local cops. Our guys had a six wheel drive something or other and the other day I spotted their latest addition for the SWAT team.

. That is for sure! Even on an old 1980's Chevy pickup truck - a piece of cardboard to cover most (3/4's) of the radiator will make it happy in the cold weather if you can't find an Arctic Kit.

. Agreed 100% And, I am pretty unlikely to ever buy a battery powered car/truck. Although, with this bunch and the creativity here - It might be incredibly cool to see a battery powered MV towing a generator trailer - charging the batteries going down the highway. That would be about as close...

. Thanks!!! It looks really nice. Amazing what a coat of paint and some TLC will do for a lonely MV.
