    Diagnosis: broken con rod

    If your 6.5 is a GEP, then it is worth it to see if your machine shop can sleeve the damaged hole. Ancient GM 6.2s are not worth fooling with.

    Next Dutch salvage yard

    Dept of Air Force did not exist until 1947, so this dolley is not WWII.

    Diagnosis: broken con rod

    Pull it and do a cost analysis between fixing what you got and installing a tested 6.5 HMMWV pullout from various vendors. Any number of reasons for the broke rod. Army loves to drive through bodies of water and the slosh rides over the hood to the air intake.

    Anybody know what this is or goes to? 2.5 ton, 5 ton, something else?

    Agree its for the older 5 ton, not 939 series. B&M picture is of a 2 1/2 ton PTO though!

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    A few requests to the new cv contract holder: quit sending 90% of the surplus to central national warehouses. This adds huge motor freight costs to us buyers. Also, please don't mix in non- DOD sales items in with the surplus items. Sick of looking at listings for ragged out forklifts/log...

    M1078-a1 Owners Manual?

    They are now called ETMs and active Army has them obviously, every now and then a tidbit from them gets published on the forum.

    Anyone know how to find what GHOK stands for?

    Did someone outside the military paint your truck? Looks like it.

    Anyone know how to find what GHOK stands for?

    My guess is wrong. No idea.

    Anyone know how to find what GHOK stands for?

    I think your "N" is missing, should be NGH0K. That would be your military registration number. Similar to a civilian license plate number.

    Tech Tip of the day Parking brake not activating

    This same valve is also bad if you are unable to charge the vehicle's air system through the front emergency glad hand.

    Artisan's M916

    Good to know Will. Scratch my idea. Top end has to come apart. Now you're looking at a lot of work to fix what you got.

    Artisan's M916

    If I were you, I would pull the engine, set it on the bellhousing standing up complete with heads on, and pull the crank and send to get turned. Some numskull forgot to final torque that rod cap.

    LMTV M1079 11k self recovery winch installation

    Agreed with DiverDarrell. Huge piece of mind to have the srw there because one day you will be out in the sticks and need it for sure. I would break the install into manageable chunks: rear guide, winch itself, front guide, pto, reservoir, dash switches.

    LMTV M1079 11k self recovery winch installation

    Nope, no instructions, winch was a factory installed option. I have two winch trucks and can add pics to this thread if you can't figure things out from the "-P" manuals. The tricky part is the PTO.

    Goats at Hill Air Force Base Utah.

    I see your tax dollars hard at work there in the picture, 5 commercial haulers going 587 miles at $4 a mile amounts to almost 12 grand in transportation to turn in goats that no longer have demil codes.

    Truck tow and Storage around Red River Army Depot

    Blake will not want to do that. If the trucks are at the GP lot, they are already off base.

    Goats at Hill Air Force Base Utah.

    Hmm, those look like turn ins from forest service fire duty.
