    Parting out military trucks for fun and profit?

    Very rarely will you buy on GL for less than scrap value. The same outfits that bid on the scrap contracts at the bases are blanket bidding on this stuff. It is very predictable where they will stop bidding, based on the wholesale value of steel scrap plus some transporation cost.

    1951 M104A1 Trailer

    How incredible! Even has the bead clips on the 11.00-20's. Wish I could find a sweet one like that.

    The USMC M923A1's have all the winch controls in the cab but no winch or frame extensions!

    DUKW's scrap or rusty gold?

    Hull is everything. I had one like that down here, It would have only yielded the gear cases, winch, etc. It was going to be a pain to get out, so I passed on it.

    Electric Winch Install

    The first time you bury your 5 ton to the pumpkins and you are counting on the Warn 18,000 to suck you out, even with a snatch block, you are going to be very disappointed. Ask any MRAP driver over in 'Stan.

    Police V-100 Tire & Wheel question

    This is more or less what you will be getting. The wheel adapter is a disk with two sets of bolt circles, one circle allows you to bolt to the hole pattern in the MRAP wheel, and the other to the 6 hole Budd pattern on the V-100. The adapter will likely need to go inside the wheel. Any competant...

    Police V-100 Tire & Wheel question

    Great! The 395's are a very modern tire and you will appreciate them over anything else. All you need now are some "MRAP wheel adapters", being sold here (search), and you won't even have to dismount the tire, and keep the runflat capability.

    Hentzen CARC

    I've used the 383 green version of that paint and it works great. I used laquer thinner to cut it.

    Giving up on M135.........

    Again, overhaul the air pack and throw the J-B welded part in the trash. It can be corroded, especially if you are using DOT 3 regular brake fluid. Your dad may not be able to express it, but riding in that parade in the truck you fixed must have made him happy and proud as can be!

    2000 CUCV-II Crew Cab,(The Twin) Florida repair.

    Yes, these things I know. But how does a few psi of positive crankcase pressure account for 30 PSI of increased oil gallery pressure? The pressure is regulated by a spring in a relief valve if I recall correctly.

    M4 high speed tractor info/pics needed

    SECO, Augusta, GA used to have 100's of them that they used to convert to "Wood Tiger" forestry machines. If they have any left, they will be mighty rusty, as they were rusty when I last saw them in the 90's.

    Giving up on M135.........

    Make sure the brake lock switch to the left of the steering wheel is turned off! Otherwise agreed, it is the air-pack. Do not let this beat you!

    Help me understand. What does the CDR have to do with oil pressure?

    Pick up 923 at Wright Patterson AFB OH & Store & possible repairs

    What is the scoop on that truck? At first I thought it was an up-armored truck that was escaping through GL, but no, it is soft. Looks like it has ROPS? But what is the deal with the dash and the electronic Allison?

    VIDEO - 5 ton desert chase scene

    I like it a lot. My only critique is the M-60, to be automatically controlled, would need more gizmos to simulate some kind of power turret.

    Police V-100 Tire & Wheel question

    Your V100 will take the exact same wheels that many many deuce and a half enthusiasts are using to mount 14.00-20 and 395-20 tires on their trucks. Search "HEMTT wheel adapters".
