I think I found a kit in my truck like that! for some odd reason all that was in there was a pack of chewing gum and a few rolls of Duct Tape

Thats a joke of a price and it might work good for a M1114 but a big truck... the BDAR will not work for many reasons.

Id watch whats out there.., they dont sell to Civi's. -Jay


P.S. We tow bar downed vehicles back to the camp/base/FOB in Bagdad.

In a true battle, the truck would be abandoned if it didn't contain anything mission critical. Other times they just tow them back to base.

You can limp a truck in pretty good usually. I moonlight in the summers driving a 6x6 concrete mixer. When the load is perishable and the truck breaks down you have to do what you can to get that truck somewhere where you can get the load off. I broke a drive shaft this past summer on the way out to a job. I did not have any tools with me to remove the rest of the shaft, but I engaged the front axle and headed for the shop. It was a slow and noisy ride for a few miles until the drive shaft flipped up and cleaned of the air manifold for the rear tandem breaks. No big deal I was going so slow that if I let of the throttle the spring breaks would stop the truck. Well I kept going until I ran completely out of air pressure and the front axle disengaged; damn those air shift axles. I would have been there in one more mile
