Attention Steel Soldiers, a buddy of mine gave me a heads up about a need for military vehicles, Vietnam Era to present,for an upcoming TV production taking place in the NYC area.
If anyone is interested in making a few bucks and having their vehicle in a show he asked that you send photos...
I recently had the same problem. I pressurized my fuel tank with a compressor hose and pressurized the system. I started the truck after that with no problem. I also cracked the injector pump to bleed out any air just to be safe. I haven't had any problems after that.
I was just looking at GSA Auctions and saw a bunch of UH-60 Black Hawks forsale in Alabama. If you have a few hundred thousand laying around it might be an interesting piece if US Military hardware to own, and what a conversation piece it would be.
I decided to change the fuel filters on my truck this afternoon. It was the first time I undertook this service, I read the TM and printed out the applicable pages just for reference, read the different threads on the forums, bought new filters, had all the necessary tools, fresh diesel, etc.

Sine this topic came up what it the advantages of switching the trans over to auto trans fluid? I would have to drain the system and replace the filters to do it. My truck was rebuilt in 2012 and it's the last service I have left to do. I already flushed the cooling system, motor oil changed...
Your at the scrapyard in Freehold, NJ. I was there a few weeks ago and saw those too. The LAV caught my attention. The guy didn't know where they came from but he thinks Ft Dix.
This is a great post! I'm actually getting my materials together for installing a set! Quick question, what is the advantage of having the mast telescope instead of solid?
NYC sells surplus dump trucks with plow jacks and mounting sleeves, they also sell 16 yard salt spreaders with plow jacks and mounting sleeves, you may find a dump truck/ spreader combo with a steel plate that covers the conveyor when used as a dump truck. They may not look pretty but they run...
