    Have you ever had your tank dipped?

    This is not about dipping but about weight and it is loosely based on Johnny Cash's song All I do is drive, I wrote it as a lieutenant running convoys through CONUS and certain states where tough on our loads. Seems like everytime I roll into this communist state I've got some blue light...

    Very new but got something you might want

    That's the killer seat that the Army wanted better anti ejection properties for. We lost quite a few gunners being ejected when a HMMWV tipped over. The fire extinguisher mounts are nice. Welcome to the forum and you may be directed to put these in the classified section.

    m872 king pin??

    They have a standard commercial king pin and any tractor with a standard fifth wheel will hook up fine. It is a very heavy trailer and the M818 will be pulling hard to move it empty. Looks like you got all the sideboards and the tarp bows too what a great deal. I was going to make a set of...

    Transmission problem- will not drive...

    You might want to check all the vacum hoses too because if you have a leak it will not shift right and most likely not into high at all.

    5-ton no go?!

    Is it possible kids where playing in it and dry shifting it to play big truck driver? That could easily have bent the forks and cause a two gear contact. I just do not see it happening from sitting.

    My Militarized DVD Player is Done - Pic's & Video

    Very Nice install and you can also remote an LCD screen to the dash chemical mount plate. What size screen is it and does it fold out to load a DVD or is there a cassette for multiple DVD's in it?

    813 pto

    Did you have an aluminum shear pin in that winch when it locked up? Just wondering because I would hate to pop the PTO off of my M818. Sorry you busted yours up but I got my PTO for the M52 from Murrays in Delaware. Got to go pull it myself out in their yard.

    5-ton no go?!

    Welcome to the site and this sounds like a shifter issue can you take the top off and look inside? It could also be the sprag if it is locked between going forward and backward. Very hard to say without a little more information.

    Ham radios and this hobby, any military radios work for that?

    Is a HF boat radio also a HAM? Sorry I know these are like 3-30 Mhz and have 150 watts of power. I think they are also somtimes known as Single Side Band but I know we had HF radio in the Coast Guard that could go thousands of miles in our radio room cause the Squirrels were always DXing...

    Multifuel Engine life - the facts from Uncle Sam

    The Multifuel is not an inherently weak engine it is subject to some specific design issues that have been mentioned but I am an Army Transporter with many years of truck operations and can tell you that the dueces usually got over rev'ed by Soldiers if they took them on the road. It is one of...

    i found this 1944 White White Brockway.

    I would save it if you have the money and room to keep it. It would be sold already here in America if it was on the sale block. So many guys would love to drive it to a rally they would most likely be standing in line for it. I love the winch set up with cable and capstan I had a capstan...

    1971 Am M109A3

    I sure hope that we all have our Turkey Dinners digested and are happy now. I am sure that our fellow Steel Soldier feels bad loosing his brakes and I can tell you I lost one side on my Suburban on a panic stop due to a rusted line and the pin hole it allowed in a panic stop. We have not heard...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    Are you going to take it off an polish it up a bit before firing it up? It looks like the corrosion on the intake turbo may cause some loss of flow. This is a great idea and since my exhaust needs work I may be looking into doing this on my tractor too.

    Surprise email from GL

    I got one of these on a dolly lift set I just went on line and filled one out and sent it in. I did tell them it would not include a copy of my licence because they already have a copy of it from the previous E"UC they never bothered me again on it.

    M109 pilfered at GL Ft. Riley

    It is just plain theft and should be filed with the MP's on post let them get a lot of MP reports on stolen equipment and the Post Commander should pay them a visit or send the company an offical reprimand. Do not tolerate it report it and make them pay for their negligence
