    Iraq gun truck in Desert Camo 5 ton

    Rapco has those colors. Sand tan, earth yellow, black, and field drab brown. 1970's era MERDC desert pattern. Would not be correct for Iraq. The sand colored early conflict trucks were painted CARC 383 sand. But I agree it is a bad azz pattern. Here is a pic of Area52's old M54A2 cargo wearing...

    OA 331 running issues

    Try this, pull all the plugs and connect them to the waterproof wires, and tie the plugs up near the respective cylinders. Have someone crank the engine while you place your finger over the spark plug hole and verify the spark happens at the same time as the puff. Redneck? Yes, but I have...

    M5 cleaning stages

    Might wanna check the load charts on your wrecker. No shipper brace or outriggers with half the weight of the tank on the hook. The shipper will bend real easy, I have seen the aftermath.

    M1008 Artic Kit, removal

    I removed mine so I could work on the engine. It makes it difficult to service the injectors or glow plugs with the system in place. Make sure you properly cap off the fuel feed lines. I did not and had air being drawn into the fuel system resulting in all kinds of hard starting and erratic...
