That is Awesome!!!! Quite a few people have been looking for this for a long time. Thanks

Thanks, it's great to get this. I just remembered that as far as I know, no one on SS has been able to come up with the TM for the MK18A1 rear unit, maybe the guy you talked to has access to that too.

That's great! Good to hear that Oshkosh was helpful.

Has anyone found the Lubrication Order for the MK48? I've looked some without success. There was a thread earlier this year From Olive Drab site - "The lubrication order is Marine Corps Lubrication Instruction LI 2320-12/9B or Army Lubrication Order LO 9-2320-297-12. It consists of 25 cards."...

Thanks for posting this! I'll check mine & post what I find. Might not happen until after the holidays though.

I doubt a different fluid would make much difference. I would suggest making sure the transmission is set up correctly with shift points at recommended rpm and torque converter lockup occurring as it should. I'm not familiar with the A3, but on drill rigs there is almost always a thermostat...

In case you hadn't seen it, here is an old thread that listed the TM numbers for the MK18 and MK18A1. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?92821-Oshkosh-MK48-MK18-containers I haven't been able to find either of the two TM below and haven't seen any posts where someone has found...

GL was selling quite a few of these several months ago. I think I recall one that had been posted for sale on SS.

I have a few of the 500 amp NATO plugs new in boxes I bought to make slave cables. $85/ea + shipping

A few tips gained from years of passing the "snap" test with trucks running 6V92 Detroit engines in California, Oregon & Washington. (as well as more modern diesels, but the Detroits were the toughest) Unless it has changed recently, you, not someone from the testing facility, are the one...

I have the same problem with intermittent gauges. Haven't spent much time chasing it, so no solution for now, will post if I find what is causing the issue.

Where I used to work, we had drills travelling most of the western states & had to become familiar with the various states' chain laws. When chains are required, Oregon's chain regulation requires more chains on tandem axle trucks than in Washington. The regulations would apply to a deuce...

I did it a couple of times (once each direction) on the state ferry when I worked up in Alaska, that's what got me hooked. I don't know if it is still allowed, but both times were in the "sleep on deck" mode with a pretty interesting group of fellow travelers. I've always wanted to do the...

It was a 4588! We had a time share for two weeks/year for 3 years. With the time share we didn't have to deal with any of the upkeep & logistics. We enjoyed it a lot, mostly played around in the San Juan islands by Seattle. We gave it up when we got lucky and had another baby, but I'm moving...

I choked on my drink when I read "Pompano Beach to Pittsburgh", then I had to look it up. Holy Bat sh--t! About 2,700 miles in that "boat" with almost 2,000 of those miles going against a current that probably averages 2 mph. I did a time share for a couple of years on a 48' Bayliner that...

Well, look at the bright side. You could have a lot of fun (or maybe even a business) with a boat like that. And, once you had fueled that boat up once or twice, you wouldn't even flinch when you fueled the M1070.

Any updates on how this turned out? Seems like a lot of work but would be a great truck.

That is a nice trailer too. I assume it is a custom build. The neck looks like a good fit for the M1070, not many trailers have a long enough neck to reach the 5th wheel on the HET. Also, the angle gives lots of room for articulation when the truck starts down a steep grade while the trailer is...

TM 9-2320-360-10 has a little bit of basic information on both hot & cold weather operations. I haven't found any of the documents it references (WP 0113, WP 0110, etc) but haven't spent a bunch of time looking. Maybe someone else already has them and can post. An excerpt of the TM pages on...

Chlorine exposure resulting from mixing household cleaners containing bleach and ammonia is unfortunately a fairly common occurrence. Drilling is a dangerous business, but the biggest workman's compensation claim one medium size drilling company had was when a part time janitor mixed two...
