Give me until Friday. Work is slamming me right now.

The US military would not accept a vehicle that wasn't to "spec". The vehicles you see that don't have the military turn signals or waterproof wiring are either export models for foreign militaries or what I think is the rare M44 series truck that was briefly marketed to civilian companies who...

Dave's M37 has a cracked exhaust manifold. I believe it's the factory engine.

If you find 2 of them, we need one.

I think it's to "store" lubricant and when the cable is stretched it sort of greases the cables. I think. Not a wire/rope expert. EDIT: I see Valence answered this with something that sounds more credible than my guess.

I don't know to be perfectly honest. I will say this-I still have the wire rope on my first winch, I bought 11 years ago and it was treated in 2006 or 2007 and when I work the winch hard and the cable gets tight, it still squeezes grease out of the fiber core, so....................... I...

I buy it at my local paint shop. Not cheap but extremely effective.

TNJ is apparently sold out of these and MV Dataplates is not a viable business. Any third choices? Also, has anyone out there ever seen the AM General warranty sticker available reproduction? Finally, where do you buy the rivets that hold the dropside dataplates in place?

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?11295-All-this-for-a-freeze-plug-! Any machine shop can do the heads. There is a difference between "shaving" and "resurfacing". Shaving is taking material off the entire bottom face of the head, in order to reduce to capacity of the combustion...

The Lube Order for the M44 series is confusing to me; it seems to call for both OE/HDO with is effectively engine oil and CW lube, which is chain and wire lube, which I assume in the civilian world would cross over to chainsaw oil................ (guessing). I unspool the rope, inspect it...

It's unrelated, all those stupid F134 pulleys are out of whack and no one repros them and with them all being bent, I suspect a great many sling the nut off.

So, on the F134, the crank spins the cam via the fiber gear NDT mentioned. The cam then spins the oil pump, which engages with a gear halfway down the cam. The distributor shaft fits into a recess in the top of the oil pump drive shaft. The good thing about this is that there is no timing...

We have a tentative date, let me firm it up with D-town this week and I'll post it here and on the rally Facebook page.

So I've got this truck I'm getting ready to sell. And I needed to rewind the cable since someone in a motor pool wound it backwards. And I needed to inspect the cable for kinks and damage and service it (lubricate it). It takes a lot of room to unspool 200'! So I parked it in the front yard...

The advice above is all good and I should add something. If the holes in the shaft and yoke are elongated ("wollered out"), it will consistently break sheer pins. The pin will constantly be shocked by the freeplay and break. Replacing the yoke isn't hard (and I guess you could drill a fresh...

This is my system and it works well. The drums gets cleaned out with paper towels, then put in the parts washer. Spindles, backing plate, shoes, etc. get soaked with a degreasing solution and pressure washed. Before: After: Drum and individual parts cleaning: This is an issue. Buy...

I removed 8K lbs. of weight from it.

So is your truck still 24V? Is the oil pressure gauge the stock one? Because if an aftermarket sending unit would work with the factory gauge, that would be fantastic, since the Newstar sending units are beyond worthless.

IMHO, CARC is the best bet. I believe it flakes because all these trucks have abysmal paint preparation. I have had several trucks that the military sandblasted and then didn't put any primer on! They shot the CARC directly onto bare metal. And all the other trucks I've had were maybe washed...

You can go look at the members map and see who is along your route. Some of those members participate in member assistance (like me). I'm in Athens, Ga. I have a towbar and sometimes can make things work.
