Hello all. I haven't been on here in quite a while but I had to share this info to help out anyone in need of a front right drive axle for the M998. I assume that may be the same for the left rear but we all know what happens when we assume things. So check all that out first. Anyway, I got a...

So I picked up some pallets of MV stuff and couldn't unload the stuff, as I cannot get up into my field to access the area to put the stuff. Just way to sloppy with all this rain. So where I parked the trailer there is a side slope and I noticed that was putting a lot of weight on the lower...

So my newer M1082 came with LED lights all around. When I got it both tailights worked fine. About a month later I hooked up to it and the right one had half of the LEDs working but after a minute or so all of the LEDs began working on their own. This light did that every time thereafter. Today...

Ok. I looked the wheels over and over, inside and out, and cannot see how air could be possibly getting to the tire. The only air hoses going near the tire are only going to (and from) the brake chambers. Is it possible the tire just has the hoses attached to the rim so that if the truck needs a...

What could this mean? Is it on a M105A2 with date of manufacture of Mar '84.

I cannot believe that he hasn't been mentioned in this category yet. I have never in my 32 adult years seen someone go so far out of their way for customer service. He has resolved a couple issues with me and not just appeasing, but resolving. He has contacted me on the following date that I...

Thinking about an M51 IH, I found for a very reasonable price. This truck is way before my time, as I drove an M817 when I was in and now have the even more recent M929A2. Are all of these old beasts powered by a gasoline engine? Should I just pass on it with it needing a head gasket (and who...

Picked up a M101A2 out of Peoria, IL and this is stenciled on both sides and the tailgate. Does it mean it was a Coast Guard trailer?

I recently picked up a few different trailers from Govplanet that didn't have the "real" manufacturer or the year manufactured. You know, the items that just say "U.S. Army Automotive and Tank Command". I am "trying" to title my M1061A1 as it weighs over 4000 pounds curb weight and has to have a...

Won a M1061 last week at Ft. Polk. Thought I would try the Veritread option first. They all wanted way too much to ship a partial load to Ohio so I took Rounders' offer. Today Rounders tells me GP said they will load it on the Rounders trailer for a mere (sarcasm) $250! Really GP?! Really!? What...

I hope I have this in the right forum. Mods, feel free to move it if I have it wrong. Anyway, I picked up a set of slave cables with one end cut off and a big fuse holder inline of the positive cable on the other end. I knew about the cut end before purchasing. My question is, why was the one...

I just picked up my new (to me) M101A1 trailer with a descent paulin/cover. Thing is, the cover is just a few inches too large, in all directions. It does work but I cannot pull it fully tight. This picture shows how low it is on the sides. Both are even. It also is too low front and rear. Could...

As you can see in this picture, I have four fairly nice trailers. Less than three weeks ago I owned no military trailers. Uh oh!

I had someone tell me they had a camo military trailer with a pintle on the rear. It has a frame/suspension like a M105 with the same wheels and a square 6x6' (or so) cargo box that is very heavy duty and a tool/accessory box in front of that. Does anyone know what this trailer is or could have...

Ok. I got this truck a couple months back and when the seller was showing me how it starts, he said it needed glow plugs before winter. When it started before, I always had to crank, stop, turn key off, crank again and it usually started (sometimes took a third attempt). After starting, there...

Ok, I spent a lot of time looking on here, and in TMs yesterday and found this chart pictured and thought I could just hook to post C, wire 22. Just ran a jumper to verify by connecting terminal C to terminal F and the brake lights were lit but no signal. I don't want to start cutting insulation...

I hope I am asking this in the right forum but I have two MVs this question pertains to. I have never owned a diesel engine and within the last four months, I am an owner of two. I hate to hear an engine sit idling needlessly and at low oil pressure, so I have always shut gas engines off even if...

Thought I would share why my avatar looks like an urban paint job. One of my game cameras snapped this shot just after dark as I was circling my perimeter road on my land. The green became white and the black stayed as is and the brown became grey. I thought it was pretty cool looking.

Hello everyone. I finally picked me up the truck I have wanted for years. Had several civy Chevy trucks but always drooled when I'd see one of these units going down the road, or sitting in someone's driveway. This is the real McCoy built for durability and longevity. I remember when I was...

Well, thanks to so many for their kindness and helpful direction on so many issues, since aquiring my M929A2, it finally gets to show it's colors (other than the beautiful tan) this Friday. Only a small, on site, one but that's how I wanted to put it to the test anyway. Gonna move...
