    M1 In Sterling Heights

    Uncle will not allow private citizens to purchase U.S. armor any longer. That is why the only armor you see for sale is older models or foreign vehicles.... Sigh:(

    Effer knuckleboom for the M923

    Me soo jealous! I am compromising with a custom fabricated jib style crane to be mounted behind the cab of my M52A2. Your purchase will be appreciated by you for years to come, as I am confident you will put that baby to use is some most interesting ways as you use your truck. Cannot wait...

    M925 startup at 28 degrees Brrrrrrrr! No etheror block heater in WV

    I prefer the oil pan style heater. It is on the bottom of the pan and all the heat "flows" upwards, heating the entire motor. Plus it is heating the oil and not the water jacket and portions of the motor above that level as does a block heater. Also, the oil pan heater warms up the oil...

    Cold Weather Starting- Winterizing

    1. Engine block or oil pan heater. 2. Dump the 15-40 motor oil for something thinner. This will help a lot. But she still will not like temps below 30 degrees......aua

    Tire change with bed hoist/crane

    I am thinking of a HEMTT spare tire crane for my 5-Ton, with the abaility to load heavy items and swing them around to lower into the cargo bed. I am not familiar with the HEMTT though, so does anyone know if that unit would work for my purposes?? Those light weight commercial lifts look way...

    Recovery Gone Wrong - M936

    I had a truck stuck for two weeks once! Caveat to Murphy's Law:The bigger/heavier the vehicle multiplies the problem when it gets stuck X a factor of ten.

    Iraq takes delivery of final M1A1 tanks

    We have many M60A1s that are practically new, still being stored in Europe waiting for the Russian invasion. Those could be shipped to the middle east easily, but I suppose it is also important to keep the M1 Tank factory in Lima Ohio up and running. Read you own reasons for operating a...

    Deuce driving tips

    Oooops! When parking, do a "Walk around" before departing on the road again. I learned this the hard way after a lawnmower got parked behind me one summer day. I backed up to turn around in the grass and ran right over it!:oops: People sure do some dumb stuff when they see a big green...

    Need Insurance for my M931A2.

    5-Ton Insurance I mailed my application packet and a check for $152 today to J.C. Taylor Antique and Classic Auto Insurance Co. to cover my 5-Ton. Full Collision and Comp with Roadside Assistance/Towing for one year. Seemed very reasonable... Since I live in Michigan I have the privilege of...

    Insurance

    I am totally confused now about GULFWAY. I don't remember the ladies' name when I called them, but when I said "Five Ton Truck" I could hear her gasp over the phone and she flat out told me they would not insure my truck! :-? State Farm was insuring my 5-Ton under a commercial policy for...

    Insurance situation is crazy!

    Nope! HAGERTY just denied me covered because of "Excessive/inapropriate use"?? I guess driving it less than 2000 miles per year is "excessive"?aua As of this moment I have no insurance coverage on my 5-Ton:-x

    5 Ton Problems

    This is the downside to the All Wheel Drive set up that the sprag is the centerpiece of. I am beginning to think the "part time" system of the M35 series is better in the long run. You shift the transfer case to power the front driveshaft when you need it, and otherwise leave the front axle...
