Ok so I picked up a hmmwv hydraulic winch a few weeks ago and mounted it on my deuce. I bought a LDS power steering pump (vickers vtm42). I got it mounted today and all hooked up. The pump whines around 1200 to 1500 rpm. The winch works great under no load. Once the engine reaches that rpm it...

I'm posting this ahead of time but I'm looking for individuals with their MV's to participate in the 67th annual armed forces day parade in Reading Pa. The parade is Saturday May 16th at 10 am. There is a free breakfast buffet that will be served prior to staging for all participants. There is...

Does anyone have any specifications or a tm for the milemarker hydraulic winches? I just picked one up and I'm trying to figure out what the requirements for a pump are besides what a GM saginaw power steering pump puts out. I'd like to possibly use a electric power unit but I'm not happy with...

please delete I'm going to plan a small day trip to Rausch Creek for Saturday December 13th since a few of us couldn't make the fall rally. If anyone is interested please post here and let's get this Christmas Rally started.

Has anyone ever put a m35 bed on a m103 or m105 chassis? Do you have pictures of it? Should be pretty straight forward but I can't picture how it would look.

Ok I'm am filling out paperwork this week to enter the king frost parade on October 25th. I would like to invite 2 or 3 trucks willing to come out for the event. You do not have to decorate your truck if you don't want to but we do have to have a theme and the theme is "The Zombie Express" We...

Ok so I just got done rebuilding front axle and went over all the brakes. I rebuilt the wheel cylinders and all my shoes I matched and are like brand new. But I have a horrible squeal in the front now under hard braking ever since a guy came up behind me fast then cut me off and then brake...

I've been searching for an hour now through organizational tm on kingpin replacement and setting preload. Can some one help me out I can't seem to find anything on this subject.

Ok so I got my rear all back together today re packed bearings and the whole 9.... brake shoes are like brand new or all but...... So I followed the tm on major and minor brake adjustment. The right side went beautiful with .010" on the bottom and .020" on top. Backed off till no drag. Now the...

Could someone measure how far away the overload spring pads are up from the spring pack? I forgot to measure mine when I took it apart and now I have them on my bobber I need the right height to bolt them to the frame. Thanks Dan

So yesterday I had the deuce out in the evening at my wife's relatives and her one uncle said to me something very cool and interesting. He's been a truck driver for many years. He said about using a eaton fuller 13 spd shift knob on the truck and using the air switches to control the Hi/Low...

I searched up and down and didn't find anything.... I was wondering what you guys think about using the m105 overload springs as add-a-leafs in the front spring pack. Other then the leaf clamps probably not fitting I don't see a reason why you couldn't do this. I am working on a lift kit now...

I've been searching tm's for the past hour and I cannot figure out what this hose is for. It comes off a pretty hefty elbow in the front of the block and runs into the firewall. I have a cut in the outer casing and want to replace it but it has a special fitting crimped on the end out at the...

Ok so I put in a push button light switch last night and it worked great other then the fact that the dash lights are lit all the time. Every other function worked but still dash lights lit. I put in the 3 lever switch and it worked fine..... I put the push button back in and dash lights...

I'm going to be redoing the inside of the truck including the dash..... is there any reason why I can't get a new data plate and restamp the vin on it? We build aluminum trailers at work and hand stamp our data plates every day so doing it wouldn't be a problem I just want to make sure it's...

Ok so the day has finally come. I woke up this morning and had my income tax check already. I'm leaving in a hour to go pick up my first military truck and I can't wait. I'll post pictures when I get home. Going to be a long cold trip but it's going to be oh so worth it!!!!!

Ok so I have a question and haven't found it here at all. For all you guys bobbing your trucks.... are you running your u bolts up or down? I come from the jeep world and we always did anything we could to gain ground clearance and less snagging underneath. I have seen it done both ways on...

I saw the one post where someone mounted a actual tool box with drawers but haven't seen any of these underbody tool boxes. We build hundreds of trailers a week and we get scratched or dented tool boxes and they sell them. Since I work for them I can get a 18x18x60 all aluminum tool box for...

Here are the leaf spring perches I made for using m105 springs. They are 2 1/2" square tubing 1/4" wall 7" long with the 3 5/8" notch cut out a 1" deep to be welded to the rear axle. I'm going to cut another 7" long piece to weld on the top for a lift block. That will give me the 4" I need using...

Here is my Federal Signal Vision light bar I picked up off craigslist for $40. It came with the brain box and controller. The guy didn't know what he had at all. This could have easily sold for $250+ in it's entirety. He had it wired wrong and it didn't work quite right when I got it. About a...
