Won a M880 from GSA Auctions. Truck is with Iowa DNR in Ames, IA. Need truck picked up NLT 28 April 2015. Can be stored until transport available if needed. Truck does not run but unknown as to reason (guessing bad batteries). Pickup is 2404 S Duff Ave, Ames, IA 50010.

It's stuff like this that makes me impressed at the ingenuity of the Army... capable of establishing/designing/building (knowing need to be built) such capabilities/uniqueness. We literally, for decades, had the ability to just roll up, stop, and set up shop, even more so than today in some...

No clue on the paint change. It could be a tub from a rebuilt at some point. Or they just got the wrong paint when doing a repair of some sort...

DRMO (aka DLA Disposition Services) requires all items to be drained of any and all HAZMAT. Well, supposed to be. Sometimes you see this very violently (IE punching the oil pan) or very conservatively... or forgotten. I know Bragg did require it last time I turned stuff in, but that has...

Dang, missed those... Guess I'll see what comes up.

Military does it. It's standard on everything. from HMMWVs to Abrams... and yes, there's an Abrams Chock Block. I know I keep a set with my Jeep as the parking brake barely holds.

UAF? That's pretty cool though man.

CBR, if you have something old enough for my Jeep, I may be interested.

Fuel lines are reinstalled, think the fuel filter (inline aftermarket) is clogging up causing a gradual loss of power. going to replace next week (or tomorrow). if nothing else, it will get on and off the trailer under it's own power! The Carb rebuild was successful (thanks wilson off road...

OK, this is a test response :) Welcome.

My M38 is insured with USAA using a 7 digit VIN, now it's a much older vehicle, but they did do it. I know there are members from the MI area, have you checked with them? I'm sure they'll pop up, just maybe dial down... where there's a will, there's a way.

I Played Irene a few years ago. Won't be here, but glad you're participating. The vehicles can make a big difference.

Yes... just a new version. As far as I recall based on my experience. we had a large variety of them, they didn't all seem to be the same, like the generator tool boxes, depending on what company made them, depended on size and 'matching'. They were not LED versions, they were rotating style...

Well crap, I never had to go into the axles, just replacement tires/rims, guess I didn't look close enough. I know the A4 PLS we were fielded had a different setup but that's all I recall, guess I should have paid closer attention. Thanks!

No Problem, the Army doesn't require my knowledge anymore, might as well spread it elsewhere!

Easy... some bigger ones if you could. I have a M38, I'd be glad to help in some way. An excellent resource would be the M38 forum on G503

Axles on all HEMMT series trucks (true HEMMTs) are the same. What's your overall question? the axles or the entire truck measurements (IE shipping?)

Ok, here's part of the deal with amber beacon lights on the FMTVs, non-wrecker variants. This is called the RAWLS, Rotating Amber Warning Light System... it's a Republic of Korea (South Korea) requirement for the large vehicles, that and the fisheye mirror that you see sometimes. The RAWLS...

The Tag is a standard RFID Shipping device the Army uses. It should snap out of the bracket, there should be a 3v lithium ion battery in it, dispose of the battery and there should be a mailing/shipping address on the back, drop it in a mail box. I have a few that I have used for a while to...

Man, that is a sexy looking truck...
