I know who got the XM818, anyone here get the really nice M35?

I think a trailer would be wise, who knows how deep the scavenging went, the co-driver side mirrors are also gone.

A previous post by NDT, he writes better than me: "What is a bridge plate? Each truck is assigned a number that roughly translates into tons fully loaded. When crossing a military bridge, Bailey for example, the bridge will have a number posted on the approach to the bridge. If the truck's...

That one looks like it is still duals, I realllllly like Michelin XL duals. As for singles: I love mine!

So you got the Pink Lady! I saw her back in November when I went to inspect my M109. I think the pink is faded Avroe paint?

Good lookin Deuce, like the tires as well. The whole setup is sweet, tow vehicle, trailer, load... I think your bridge plate on the tow vehicle needs revising though, more than a "09" there!

Yes, Chester is the guy who helped me with my M109 recovery.

Yes, I thought of it driving in myself, could not see where they could be but there is a lot of Mabry we can not see from the main roads. I wonder how fun it will be to recover from Bullis...

Ncg?

It can handle a LOT more than a conventional diesel, but not 100%

I think it would burn it but it's a little too thick for the injector pump to handle, from everything I have read here, have not tried it myself.

There are several sellers listing them on eBay right now. Mine came from an eBay seller out of the Houston area though I can't recall their name right now.

I ran about 25 gal of UMO and 87 octane gas mixed 75/25 (UMO/gas) along with whatever diesel was in the tank already. I filtered the UMO/gas mix through a 5 micron sock filter before I put it in the tank. Right away I noticed that the truck was harder to start and needed some hand throttle to...

He DID get the bike together, but I will let him tell the story, and he will eventually (we may need him to dictate, and have someone else spend the keyboard time:))

Wonderful! This thread, and ones like it, are one of the best reasons to have an internet connection!! Thank you ALL for your service, and for sharing your memories and photos with us. Sam

Sad to hear, Rod was a good man... (still is I am sure)

Do you KNOW they are on Mabry, or just guessing? Our club meets at the museum on Mabry and our next meeting is this coming Wednesday, I might be able to check the truck out, IF they will let me in the yard.

Ditto on Ft.Sam slave cable usage on my M109 recovery back in November. Rod was off and another guy helped me, I THINK he was the big boss man, he found a 5 ton tractor that started and pushed the dead M109 beside mine out of the way so we could use his slave cable from a med storage box bolted...

As long as the rpm stays under the redline I don't see what the issue could be, I would much rather use the drive train to slow the truck than the brakes. I try to not use the brakes over 30 mph.
