    UT S-69 GRC Shelter

    For Sale is a used S-69 GRC Shelter, designed to fit into the beds of 2-1/2 ton trucks. Interior is stripped out and all glass needs to be replaced. Door hinge is cocked and bent, but door appears to be in good shape other than the broken glass. A good glass shop could replace these windows...

    UT MTVR Transfer Case, Oshkosh 30000-series

    For sale is what appears to be an unused Oshkosh 30000-series transfer case, in the original steel shipping crate. Previous sales have all fallen through so it’s back up for sale. I bought it from GovLiquidation before GovPlanet was even a thing. Rust just appears to be on the surface and...

    Turning over engine on m35a2

    That’s the easiest way.

    Big Mikes External Brake Fluid Reservoir?

    The vent line is not necessary and redundant…you can cap it or crimp it. I’ve seen many of these vent lines simply bent over and crimped a short distance from the cap.

    M52a2 transmission and transfer case seal replacement

    Very nice! I use Milwaukee 18V impact wrenches (3/4” drive barely squeezes in between) and it helps get them off & on. Not much space to work with, great improvisation you did there. Thanks for sharing!

    Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

    Several years ago @98G and I replaced the clutch in a Deuce that was similar looking…we set the adjustment up using some wood spacers and just tried to get the three fingers the same level, so that there would be equal pressure on the plate from the fingers. It’s been a few years and we got it...

    M931A1 NEW OWNER

    The 4 batteries are for extreme cold weather starting that may require extended cranking times….the military loves redundancy. 2 Group 31 batteries are just fine, especially if you install a block heater. As for battery life, I got 10 years out of the stock military batteries before they did...

    In tank fuel pump substitute for M35

    Yes, I had to buy 2 feet, IIRC it was from the Parker dealer in Las Vegas (NV). At the time it was around $35/ft.

    M931A1 NEW OWNER

    The tech manuals for your truck are available for download, so I would encourage you to do so if you haven’t already. The A1s with the NHC-250 Cummins has a lot more low-end torque than the A2s so it will be perfect for towing for you. There is a LOT of great info on this site about these...

    In tank fuel pump substitute for M35

    If you clean/rebuild your original in-tank pump, make sure to use submersible fuel hose and not regular hose… made that mistake once and it didn’t take long to swell up & cut off fuel flow as well as become a nasty mess to replace.

    M931A1 NEW OWNER

    Nice hardtop! Welcome aboard! You’ll probably need to service or replace the air dryer. Also check the flexible fuel lines from each tank for cracking; if they show any signs of cracking, replace them all…that will resolve any issues with air seeping in to fuel system & causing you to lose...

    M246 Revival

    Again, thank you so very much for taking the time to post these! The forward outriggers on the M246 appear to be the same as these; I will go through the part numbers to check similarities when I have time (got pulled off working on my 246 because Life Happens). @Mullaney has some great posts...

    M246 Revival

    WOW! Those are great, thanks! The rear fender pics are fantastic, I haven’t found those in any manuals I’ve come across (online nor in person). Very helpful, thank you very much for taking the time to look through those manuals & post these pics! Very much appreciated!
