I am going through some of my surplus. I have a couple of these. What are they called and what do they fit? I would have thought they would have wanted a more durable grill guard, if that is what it is, than one made out of aluminum.

Couple of things...forget about soda. I think that was just a fad. Everyone I have talked to who had something soda blasted says it was a mess and they would never do it again. Right now, it looks like the trend is to go lots of media volume with a lower psi. I spoke at length to a place doing...

PS: the head gasket (head bolt in actuality) problem only affected the early ones like 1982 or 83. It didn't take them long to update that.

They are a good engine until something goes wrong. There are different versions of the 8.2 all the way up to 230hp I think. The turbocharged engine is a lot better. When properly tuned and running well, they are about the most fuel efficient engine I can think of. However, it takes several...

LOL! I knew it was you...I would have quit when it went over the $800 mark. What do you do when two guys want the same thing? Flip a coin? SS should adopt a "flip a coin"...I would abide. From experience, there's always a third party though to fill the crack. It was a little over $300 with...

I'm going to need a trailer either hauled or pulled in from Albany, GA. It has the inside tires on it but two of the 4 are flat. PM me if you can do the job with a quote. It's about 525 total miles according to mapquest. I'm planning a trip down that way in a couple weeks. Might be able to...

1800 more of them coming up You think they would finally run out of them but another 150 lots?! 1800 wheels...

I used to do that but now I blast inside a sealed room. All the media.....I mostly used black diamond media.....gets reused. With black slag, it actually gets better the more and more it is used. It finally becomes almost as fine as sugar. Really any media these days is too expensive to use...

I want to offer sandblasting service. I am a budding MVer but experienced sandblaster and painter and I'm looking for a way to help support my new addiction...that being army trucks..Let me know before I put it up somewhere and get sent to the corner again...LOL

I'm looking at moving a m127 trailer from Albany, GA to Berea, KY. What is the best way to approach something like this? It only has 4 tires on it and part of those are flat, so it's probably going to have to be hauled in. Is there any help to load in Albany?

Is there even enough center of one axle to the center of the other to even fit those xzl's...on a trailer? Is the spacing the same as the tractor? Has anyone done this....ever?

What happens when you attempt to pull a 127 flatbed (or any trailer for that matter) with a 818 that has the big tires swapped onto it? Can bigger rubber be put on the trailer to level things out? If I bought an 818 and wanted to put a set of super singles with a set of xzl's which are about 54"...

I recently saw a gun ring mount on a 5 ton somewhere online. Are the parts available anywhere to put one on a truck without one?

..I am. I goofed around and let that M270a1 trailer at Ft. Bragg slip through my fingers. It brought less than $1600 without the fees. I wanted it for my 819 but the shipping getting it here looked like a tall mountain to climb. I could not even find out if the base had any way to even load it...

I side mostly with those who are complaining. The auction that closed Thursday had several 900 series at Montgomery that I had watched previously. I had even asked the forum here questions about them before I even bid on them. One of them, I remember bidding over $8,000 on and that same truck...

Who can do it for the best price? Pull a 40 ft. m270a1 from Ft. bragg, NC to Berea, KY approx. 600 miles... Let me know. lear31@windstream.net Rocky

What would the engine of your choice ( realistic here)for the 809 series be? I've seen hints at putting a detroit in one. Something upwards of 400hp would be nice. A jake brake would be nice. I'm actually thinking about a 6v92. We have experience with detroits plus I like the sound of them. Rocky

This has probably been covered a million times but where can I buy hardcopy manuals from? I have all the TSM numbers from the data plates but I've had little success finding those numbers in anyones inventories. I especially need a parts manual for this 819. It doesn't matter if it's a reprint...

I need some help Iding the year of production of my 819. Here are the numbers. I don't know which ones help so here are all of them. Federal Stock number:2320-050-9004 Order Service Number: 8736869 ID Number: 05E-78871 C128 10128 Cont. Number: DAAE06-69-C-009 And there is a small tag on...

Is there a wanted section on SS? I need the little crane cab and some other stuff for my 819 and can't find the place to list it. It looks like the 816's had the provisions for this cab as well although I have never seen one with it. Lemme know. Rocky
