    Hummvee Seat in a 5 ton- Is it worth the effort to gain room for King size drivers?

    No more room, I installed one in Swiss's m62, had to mod it so it would go back far enough for my long legs and comfort.

    Need Assistance with 20ton Garwood Winch on my M818

    1 -- My drum clutch is like yours, when disengaged is past the detent, my lockout prevents engagement, I guess a worn shifter fork or shift collor is the cause. 2 -- The drum brake is there so the drum DOES NOT free wheel when the cable is pulled while the drum clutch is disengaged, The drum...

    the injector fun begins

    Have you CHECKED your fuel filter and tank, I would change the filter and then run some sea foam to clean out the system, until you clean the tank, you will have a recurring loss of power/hard starting problem

    Dual fuel tanks

    This is sorta wrong, on OTR dual tank setups, there is a CROSS OVER hose between the two tanks, the truck drews out of only ONE tank but both tanks are connected so they are at the same fuel level, the shut off valves are there incase there is a tank/cross over leak (wreck, ect.), the leak will...

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    NOT if you are OVERSTRETCHING a stud, as this is what is keeping the wheel on and the truck off the ground.

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    To prove my point, take a screwdriver, pick it up by the dry flat blade with TWO fingers, then dip the blade in STP oil additive, pick up the coated blade by the same two fingers, you are picking up the same weight but it takes a LOT more force to pick up and hold. You can say what you want, it...

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    Never anti-seize/grease wheel studs/lugs, 1-- a DOT inspection WILL sideline the truck as anti-seize is a NO NO, 2--you can over tighten the stud/lug, there by STRETCHING and WEAKENING, you may end up with the same torque BUT the nut/thimble is tightened more to get the torque because the...

    40mm Bofors Gun Truck

    I can't say anything about the 40MM but when I was in country (66-68) what ever could be found, borrowed, scrounged, that just showed up, ect. was used, so a set of 40 MMs would not be unheard of.

    M931A2 turn signal and tail light gremlins

    Make SURE the grounds are GOOD, BOTH mounting bolts are grounds, BOTH have to be good, if only one is grounding you WILL get funny light operation, either some not working or grounding through another light circuit which in turn causes more fun and strange operation of some of the other lights...

    M129A2C Camper Conversion

    Your avatar is so wrong, here you are taking a TWO wheeler around a tight turn at a high rate of speed and I can't even avoid mobile combat pine trees with a 4 wheeler doing 35 or so.
