Hello guys, i have a 6 ton semi trailer to put behind my m275a2 truck tractor. I am sanding the semi trailer at the moment and i find out that the trailer had many layers of paint, from woodland camouflage to some tan desert color paint. On the sides of the trailer, in the middle, left and...

what unit was that ? i assume those were mainly uh-1 helicopters ? was the crane truck painted entirely yellow in your unit ?

it took many hrs and a lot off patience but i finally was able to convince her... hahahaha the 5 tons (m62 international) were frequently used in belgium and the netherlands mainly for handling missiles like the honest john.

Hi , is there anyone who remembers or knows what the original colour was inside the shop van trailer ? it has the very light green now, but under the paint there is bright yellow around the windowsfrom the rear doors and the door on the side. Is it some sort of indicator for emergency exit ...

Thats the weird thing with mine, with the in tank pump not running and thus not delivering, it starts and runs without any problems. When bleeding the filters with only the in tank pump running (not starting the truck) no fuel is coming out (on the top of the secondary and primary filter)

Hi guys, recently i found out that the fuse for the fuel pump in the tank is blown. However the truck is starting and running perfectly fine, (when cold it takes about 25-30 sec to start up and idle). when i override the fuse , The pump is working (turning) when powered ( as well with...
