Thought you guys might enjoy some pics from my recent roadtrip to the Outerbanks of North Carolina a couple of weekends ago. The truck, with its new HEI ignition, did pretty well driving NC12 from Corova to Orgeon Inlet across the bridge to Hatteras Island and then to the ferry to Ocracoke...

We have an M818 here (um, very NOT running ...) and it has an alternator on it that checks out to be outputting 14 volts and 140 amps. Is that correct or did somebody try to convert the truck to 12 volts? Thanks

Can somebody tell me the size of the brake drum woodruff key (front end of the worm/input shaft) on the LU-4 winch? Somewhere during the rebuild, it got lost ... Thanks

Searched, found no similar issues discussed: Right rear turn signal doesn't indicate/flash. All other lights function properly (right front turn indicator, both brake lights, marker lights, head lights, black out lights, etc, etc). Bulb checked good. Checked grounds and connections at rear...

Met up with a few other MV's at the 2015 American Truck Historical Society National Show & Convention in York, PA last weekend. 1,213 trucks in all. Not too many MVs there, but a nice variety. Besides what you see in the pictures, there was a WW1 Packard truck on inside display and a WWII...

Arrived this weekend. It still had a truck attached to it, though. I have an M-37-B1 truck W/W that didn't have it's winch. I found a decent donor vehicle. and now I have to figure out what I need to do to rejuvenate this Braden winch. The level that engages/disengages the winch is stuck. I...

Sorry if this is wrong forum for this ... Can anyone ID this winch and if it is an MV winch? Maybe a Dodge Power Wagon?? Thanks!

Both our M-37 and 817 supported this year's annual Marine Corps Aviation Association John Glenn Chapter (NAS Patuxent River, MD) golf tournament. An ATHS friend helped me with the logistics of getting both vehicles there Thursday morning. The M-37 enjoyed it's first public event (since its...

Yep, you read that right. They are starting registration already for the Nov 11th Veterans' Day Parade in Leonardtown, MD. Laxcc18 and I went in the parade last year and had a grand time. We would love to have any other Steel Soldiers join us. If you're interested, let me know here or via PM...

I didn't see any forums for the MTVR's ... Anyone know where I might be able to find an electronic version of the M-ATV operator's manual? or at least give me the TM # for it? Thanks!

Will any other MV's be coming down to Southern Maryland Saturday (25 May 2013)for the Cruisin Southern Maryland for Vets? http://www.cruisinmd.com/ The annual event raises money for the Veterans' Home in Charlotte Hall. I'm planning on cruisin' in the 817 :) (my wife is not). Hope to...

Was junkyarding yesterday in rural Virginia and came across this Unknown Soldier. I have no idea what it is. Had a pickup type bed on the back (looked original to the vehicle and not a later mod). Had a flathead 4-cylinder (head was long-gone). Axles are buried in the dirt but it appears the...

This morning in the fog .... Our '71 M817, formerly of the Maryland National Guard ... http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t172/stovebltr/Milliman/5%20ton/?action=view&current=video-2012-12-01-09-27-19.mp4

Apologies if this has been addressed -- search didn't come up with anything for me. Anyway ... If I were to change out my NDT tires/wheels on my 809-series truck (817 to be exact), are the super singles I'm seeing on the 939-series trucks a form/fit replacement? From what I can tell from the...

Made the 80-mile trek up to Ft. Meade this morning and recovered my M-817 I recently purchased. 5 ton pictures by stovebltr - Photobucket -- Some shots from the day. The loadout went smooth and the ride home was fun. The 6-71 Detroit enjoyed having a little weight for a change! Turns out the...

Hi All, 1st time through the GL drill. EUC came back today after almost exactly one week -- I guess that's fast for a 1st time EUC? Being new at this, I'm glad to get any advice and words of encouragement I'm going to try to arrange the pickup for this Friday (17 Aug) and do it myself. I...

Howdy all! Another Marylander checking in. I'm sure I'll be around to all your shops to get my inprocessing papers signed off :) We just did the GovLiq drill on an M817 and just now submitted the EUC and other paperwork. I'm reading the threads in the 5-ton forum and learning a lot about...
