    Transfer Case removal/replacing

    TM 9-2320-361-34 (US Air Force edition); pages 9-2 and 9-3: "7. Position transfer case jack stand under transfer case (25) and secure transfer case (25) to jack stand with safety chain or strap" I agree hoisting is likely to be safer than using a transmission jack, but under proper...

    My item is in a secret location! NOT HAPPY

    Update: I was told that the location is not disclosed until the item is paid for, the EUC (if required) has been approved, and any other paperwork is completed; this due to people supposedly showing up at the pickup location with false paperwork and stealing the items. I personally find that...

    My item is in a secret location! NOT HAPPY

    Exactly. And I doubt they are just stories; I read about a few. I have PM'd Jwade.

    My item is in a secret location! NOT HAPPY

    Sorry if I wasn't clear: I'm pissed because I asked for a basic piece of information: where is this item? I got no clear answer. The GovPlanet people couldn't even verify which city the item is in, nor would they tell me what kind of property it is stored at (I think that is clear in my OP)...

    What are your experiences with GovPlanet?? Good or Bad

    I posted my experience so far here (under "Preview..."): http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?161382-My-item-is-in-a-secret-location!-NOT-HAPPY&p=1940211&highlight=#post1940211 Basically, no info on exact location, which prevents me from calculating the cost of the trailer.

    My item is in a secret location! NOT HAPPY

    The item I want is in a secret location! NOT HAPPY I am really pissed at GovPlanet. There is a trailer I want; the item description lists it as being in Lathrop, CA. I called GP and said I want the address, because I want to know if it's at a private storage yard where I would have to pay a...

    I plan on joining the MVPA convoy at Williams, AZ and going to Santa Monica, CA in my M151A1. If that jeep isn't ready, then I'll be driving my M35A2.

    Durability question for Gillespie 24087 paint

    I painted my M35A2 in the summer of 2013 and it is now June 2016: the RAPCO GC paint I used has oxided badly on all horizontal surfaces, looks like crap from above (as in, the driver's seat), and to this day scratches with my fingernails. I got cat scratches on the fuel tank about 40 days after...

    How to fix inop outside door handles

    My driver's side latch just failed last week. Found the clock spring had broken- no money this month for a new assembly, made a temporary replacement by carefully re-winding a brake shoe spring to a useful shape. It has about half the force of the original, but will push the bolt out to hold the...

    Hub Lifting Eye Removal

    So, as a new owner of an M151A1, I was confused about the hub nuts, how to take them off, how they were designed, etc. In TM 9-2320-218-20, Fig. 2-296 on page 2-179 you can see the lifting eye and locknut, but the copy I have does not offer a clear picture. I had also heard various comments...

    M Series Door Latch Repair

    I had to do this job; I bought a new (probably Chinese) latch and it only lasted about 25 - 30 operations before the outside handle would not operate the latch. Took me about fifty minutes from walking outside to the truck to having all the tools put away. My assembly had no lube on the two...

    M151A1 New to the fleet here in SoCal

    Prospector- I see you're in Hesperia- I work in Pearblossom. Hope to transfer down to San Bernardino within the year. I also have an M35A2 w/w that I drive around at least once a month (but not up to the high desert!).
