Looks like a FMTV rim.

I really think you need a pan gasket set. Try NAPA, application: Reo Motors OA331. Or try some of the old school surplus dealers such as White Owl. I know the gaskets are out there.

The Mil 100 amp alternator is a fine, very reliable unit. I am surprised you are having trouble finding a regulator for it. I try to equip all my trucks with this set up, it is more reliable than the 60 amp unit.

The M939 series came from the factory with 11.00-20 NDCC (Non Directional Cross Country) tires, the upgrade is the Goodyear G177.

I suspect since the M939 series passed the punishing TACOM testing in the early 80's, AM General told Uncle "this is your problem, it passed acceptance testing". Lots of soldiers lost their lives over this design flaw.

I would suggest an Allison authorized service center if you want to do a transmission service, and a big rig lube shop or Cat dealer for the engine. The wheel lug nut size is 1.5", the usual size.

Both SAE and metric, mostly metric. 3/4 seems to be the largest you will need. Allen wrenches too. A multimeter for sure.

Wow 1800 miles through some tough country. My 1078 is a 98 model and I have been debugging it for months now. The batteries in yours are probably Hawker AGMs. Mine took weeks to bring back to life. So you better plan on changing those. The posts are the same, but civi batteries are too tall...

For those of you who plan to return on the 290 Freeway through Houston, be aware of a total closure of eastbound lanes at loop 610 all weekend. The new 290 eastbound to I-10 connector will be open, but things will be plenty backed up.

Try using the M1083 MTV manuals, that is what the Caiman is based on. The Caimans seem to be riddled with various problems right from the factory.

I DA sanded my CARC painted HMMWV in an enclosed unventilated garage 20 years ago and I neither got sick then or subsequently. I used no PPE whatsoever. Sounds like they firm quoted you and now the job is taking too long and they want out. I would bring the truck home and sand it myself.

Here is my take on this subject. If you have a few items and you want to sell them out of the back of your truck at the designated Steel Soldiers display area on Sat, I am sure nobody will stop you. But if you brought a huge amount of stuff and want maximum exposure to the collector crowds...

The real re-enactor fanatics are probably getting set up today (Monday). You will have no problem setting up at the museum grounds Thursday, the museum rally will be in full swing. Vendors need to register, preferably in advance! They run a tight ship! If you have not registered as a vendor...

I think there was a kit to install an antenna there.

Go with the 9000 then. The rule of thumb is one ton for every 400 sq ft. You are way under 400 sf.

My S280 Battery Shop has twin 9000 BTU Mil window units, so a 18,000 BTU (1.5 ton) mini split should do it.

Good to know, the black controller I got from you Auctionaddict should follow this scheme correct? No sand or emergency function.

I got one from Kascar not long ago, mine crumbled too!

Thanks Gunner, good info, thanks for posting it. Did you recently acquire your truck, say from Utah?

My vote is good to go. These gears are only used in granny. The legendary Leo Porter told me not to worry about these two gears long ago.
