    Found an engine heater kit today

    Problem with those is the hundreds of holes you have to drill in the hood and grille for the blankets. I would guess it would take 20 hours of work to install the kit end to end. Perfect for someone doing a dew line impression.

    Artisan's M916

    Yup, Unicor does have that kind of reputation in the military.

    Mid-roadtrip NEED LMTV tires, I-90 anywhere between SD, WY, MY, ID or WA

    Take lots of pictures as evidence of Travel America ruining your $20,000 engine. You will want to file a claim. Anyone's guess what happens when you overfill by 4 gallons, no doubt the crankshaft hits the oil, aerating it and causing bearing failure. The cab hydraulic pump takes jack oil, fill...

    MTP Drivetrain in Many LA needs to be your go to supplier for this kind of thing.

    M123 1400x24 tires needed

    Red River Parts has a few so so ones on rims. They are all so so as they were last made in the 70's.

    Military identification painted on vehicle. Illegal or okay?

    Hundreds of military vehicles in collectors' possession have been restored with full unit markings. No laws against doing so.

    Extra bolts

    Maybe for the cover under the torque converter?

    2000 mile road trip in an FMTV

    All your temps look fine. Ah, the voluntary wardrobe malfunction. Something about Army trucks. I've enjoyed that twice over the years.

    Mid-roadtrip NEED LMTV tires, I-90 anywhere between SD, WY, MY, ID or WA

    You did alright. The 1079's can bring that money not running straight from GP. You have a known good truck.

    Mid-roadtrip NEED LMTV tires, I-90 anywhere between SD, WY, MY, ID or WA

    The Army runs these foot on the floor wide open all day long. Of course there is usually a wrecker in the convoy though.

    What should I pay for it?

    Ideally $500, but may have to go to $1500 due to the winch inherent value.

    Mid-roadtrip NEED LMTV tires, I-90 anywhere between SD, WY, MY, ID or WA

    25% should make it home, 395s aren't that bad. 20" tires have become a military only thing as of late. Hopeless to find a 20" super single at roadside tire shops. I don't think speed has much to do with wear.

    If the issue is your front axle, check toe in with a crude method and set to zero if needed.

    M1078 No Start...Not even trying.

    Neutral state is software driven, the VIM relay is how the software communicates the start engine permissive.

    4 cyl M-series waterproof distributor caps (M38, M38A1, M151, L-head, F-head, etc.)

    Yes the caps suck as well. The high voltage jumps through porosity or cracks in the cap rather than firing the plug. I rely on my dwindling supply of NOS parts. Very frustrating.

    My old M275 needs turn signals.

    Simplest was to do this is to obtain a turn signal lever, flasher module, and the short harness that connects the two and install in your truck. Next, run new wires from the flasher module to the four lamp units at the corners of the tractor. Then, using the wire marker id chart, make your...

    What exactly was done with this MSE modification? M101A2

    Pretty sure it means Mobile Subscriber Equipment. Army had some crude cellular com setups around that time with shelters in HMMWVs that needed to haul auxiliary equipment.
