    Mystery winter hood blanket kit

    I have what I think is a complete winter hood blanket set with sides, but the passenger side blanket has no holes in it for the air intake. I have held the setup up to my M37, M38A1, M211 and other MVs and can't seem to find any vehicles that fit other than the M35A2. The drivers side has the...

    M39 series vs. M809 series questions on PTO and transmission

    So after a little research I have found that the M809 series transmission is basically the same as the M39(M54 cargo) transmission, but with overdrive gears to better match the Cummins engine. Is there any other differences in the transmissions that a guy should know about? I have a multifuel...

    I have a skid loader in reedsburg WI that needs a trip to Scotland SD. It doesn't run, but they will load it there and I can lift it off with my wrecker at the destination. Just figured I would post it in case anybody is looking for a way to pay for gas on a recovery or heading this way empty.

    M818 radiator needed

    Does anybody have a lead on a good take out or new radiator for the M818 anywhere in the midwest? I just bought a truck that the fan went through the radiator which needless to say makes it somewhat deadlined. Thanks in advance.

    GL loadout damage

    Have any of you guys experienced loadout damage on your trucks. I know they loaded my truck with a forklift, but I didn't know they would just scoop under it and lift it on the semi truck. I figured they would use chains to lift or something. Now my two cab steps are bent up and I can't open...
