I'm in the SE part of the state and work full time for the guard. There are a few guys out there who will probably chime in.

I work on MVs full time for the NG and fix them up for people on the side, but I think South Dakota is probably too far away for you.

Most of us have learned the hard way or have a lot of experience in recovery. Don't take it personal, we are trying to give you good advice and hate to see people go recover and drive things that they have no idea about. An example of this was the guy who asked how to turn on the headlights on...

I've used zip ties before when my top seperated from the plastic part. It worked well, but you will have to cut some holes in the top to let the zip tie though. Unless you use a bunch of small ones and can get them through the stitching holes.

LOL, imagine strapping that to the top of your kevlar....

I would seriously consider having the truck hauled because of the distance. It might run, it might not because of other reasons. The guard guys will help as much as they can, but it isn't worth having an accident because something doesn't work. Also, if you get in an accident or pulled over...

Most electric items are rated 208/230v. Check your data plate on whatever your trying to run. Also electrical items will -operate within a 10% +/- volt tolerance without causing damage. An example of this would be a 120v item can run as low as 108 or as high as 132v. Obviously staying within...

looks like im the guinea pig

Jason, Which wix number did you use? I ordered one from them last week and will be trying it on a customers truck.

I think I kind of know what he means. My full time job is a military vehicle mechanic for the National Guard, I sell parts and build trucks for people, but the money I make pays to maintain my own collection. Sort of a self funding hobby I guess. Not sure how you would catagorize it.

Ahhh yes, beautiful guernsey. Been there for shooting matches and AT. It is a large BNSF hub for sure. It's like a large railyard with a town attached, lol.

Yup, It also tells us if there is something wrong in the motor by detecting contaminants. I wish I had a $1 for every AOAP sample i've taken in my career so far, lol.

Yup, I needed the brake line size.

I need to get some brake line this week at NAPA and I don't have my M813 in front of me. Does anybody know what size the brake line is that goes from the airpack to the tee on the frame? I think it's 3/8, but I can't remember 100%. Thanks.

I have brand new sealed 24v headlights. PM me.

I've read tons of threads on the detroit lockers, but has anybody found anyone who makes air lockers for the 5t M809 axles? I am in the process of working on a M813 that was converted for powerline use as a digger truck/polesetter and my customer wants lockers added to it. From what I read...

I'm currently working on an M813 that was converted into a digger truck for a powerline construction buisness. They put 16.00x20s on it and a digger body. I am fixing some things and also completely servicing it for them. Once that's done, they want me to build a custom M35A2 with diff locks...

I really wish I had that good of skills in modeling

I'm wondering where the brake shoes came from? Are they after market or US made NOS. I have never seen anything like that before. I had an incident a few years back driving an M916 carrying a D7 dozer driving on snowpacked streets. A small blazer cut me off right off my front bumper changing...

That's an older one. I work on the newer M113A3s now. Still one of my favorite vehicles to work on.
