Spotted we didn’t have an active thread for this, so I’m launching one! Welcome in alllll your wrecker friends and post up. I bought a M543A2 a few months ago, and when a M816 fell into my lap for literal Pennie’s I just couldn’t resist. This weekend I finally drug the old M816 home and started...

Recovered my a wrecker yesterday from Patracy, and if all goes well going to fix a few issues, attempt to convert to air brakes with my donor M925, and see if a little wallet molestation can breath new life into a classic. Here’s to my M543A2! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright ladies and gentleman, I’m going to make another build thread on something that I’ll probably never finish, because if you know me, I’m the worlds WORST procrastinator. So let’s get started! Scored up a MEP803A mounted on a M116A3, the hours were low, and the price was right! It was...

Alright SS Family, need some assistance! I have a M925 I’m parting out, and the bed is mint. I’m thinking about building a dump trailer, and keeping it on rockwells mean the trailer is simply going to be too tall. So here’s what I’m thinking: 1) Use the 925 bed, maybe add 2’-3’ of removable...

Hey guys, been sitting on a couple of MEP003 gensets on a trailer for a minute. Purchased them non-running. Paints faded on both, and they haven’t ran for a while judging by the old batteries, one is missing a starter, fuel is old, have no idea if they’re runners or not but ASSUMING they are...

Good evening everyone, I need some help. Today I replaced my hydraulic head O-Rings, but ran into a hiccup; while looking through the advance port to locate the white paint (which I did see) I then began carefully barring the engine over looking for the Red Mark inside the shutoff cover. I used...

Hey guys, I have one of these 600 gallon fuel tanks mounted on an M1061A1 as a dispenser rig, and I’ve searched and found a thread years ago about rebuilt parts for the valve below. I can’t find the thread again (improper keywording on my part) This lever on top actuates the fuel valve on the...

Good evening, Struggling with some PTO studs that I cannot remove. Even attempting the double nut method results in stripped nuts and in-tact stud threads. Highly frustrating, never had a stud I couldn’t pull that way the first time every time. Needless to say it laughs at a pair of vice...

Hey guys, considering transmission fluid is a fiercely debated topic in the M939 and M35A3 trucks I figured I’d go ahead and start a thread concerning it for us. All MTVR variants current as of this posting utilize the Allison HD 4070P , a robust 7 speed automatic. Here is a list of Allison...

Anyone coming from Florida to the Georgia Rally? I could use a single pallet being moved from Tampa to the rally, or my house near Newnan close to I-85? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone around saraland AL that can recover a tire and hold it for me? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Won an M989a1 trailer at a non government auction today, Anyone close that can recover and hold until my EUC clears on my truck and I can recover? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not a chemist, but after disposing of wmo and dealing with the carbon build up associated, I’ve been **** bent on finding a sustainable alternative consumable with as little side effects as possible; the resulting product for me was compressor oil. I have access to hundreds of gallons of...

I always thought I’d start one of these, and I finally have the chance! Sold the M923A2, and purchased an MTVR; now the waiting begins for a recovery CA-GA.

Will be traveling from Yermo CA to Atlanta when i recover my MTVR and will have an empty bed available for cargo hauling reasonably!

Just purchased a solid running MTVR from gov planet, once the EUC clears I’ll be east bound and down nothing but tail lights... hopefully. I need advise, I’m familiar with the basics of recovery, and managed to get my M923A2 home 870 miles from Houston when it hadn’t been on the road in 4+...

I’m having a fun but perhaps a disastrous idea. Going to be throwing a small get together this summer, and have seen countless folks create “pick up truck swimming pools” by laying a tarp in the bed and filling it with water. I’m probably going to get blasted on this one but I need some advise...

Howdy folks, hopefully everyone’s year is off to a good start. I’ve got an issue I’m struggling with on my M923A2, I’ve rebuilt my air compressor 3x.... yes, it’s getting old. Nothing special, just an SS296 Back story: air compressor Head was gummed up with crud, and it was sticky. Left me...

Alright so my connection to haul my m105a2 trailer to the GA rally has fallen through, so now I need an alternate to get it there. I don’t have anyone else in my AO to assist in transport, nor the money to pay for transport. Loading 1 trailer inside another, or loading it in the bed of my M923...
