Went to a subordinate unit for range qual and this is what I found. Location: JRB Dallas/Ft. Worth. Looks like a Marine Corps front line ambulance. It was in VMGR 234's hangar area.
This really should be under safety but that forum does not allow attachments.
This came across my desk and thought I would pass it along. It goes along with Bruce's post about brakes and bringing trucks back safely. You towbar guys (myself being one) should read this.
Is rebuilding a 5 ton NHC 250 injector pump something that a mechanically inclined individuall like myself capable of doing or is it not worth it and just get a replacement. I am thinking that a diaphram is bad in the pump.
Here is a little something about MRAPs.

I have this posted in another thread put thought I would put it here. Everytime I see an M135 I can help but think of this part in RAMBO. Just think if he would of had a 5 ton!

For all those wanting to know the correct way to mount a ring mount for a M35 or 800 and 900 series this is the instructions. Will post today. It shows 900 and 800 series trucks but the 800 series is the same as a M35. It will be under the TM section listed as M66 ring mount installation.
In my quest to find a Marine Corps ISO bed TM, I found the manual on how to correctly install the M66 ring mount for the 900 series 5 ton. If you want it, PM me.
Well, after a extensive search through pubs and TMs, I located "a" TM that shows exactly on how to use the ISO beds on Marine trucks. However, It is from the TM regarding the new MTVRs. This is OK though because the 5 ton ISO beds are the same as the 7 ton ISO beds except with the addtion of a...
Well, finally got around to installing the M66 ring mount on the truck. After a thorough break down and lube job on the ring, I managed to get the ring installed. THAT SUCKER IS HEAVY! At first I thought me and a few buddies could just lift it up and install it. NO WAY. So, I had to get a...
Anyone has a lead on where I can find a Marine Corps type 5 ton ISO bed. I have a dropside M813A1 but being a Marine I want a Marine ISO bed. Go figure.
I appreciate any pointers. Thanks Gents.
Looking at my options. Need to move a M813 from PA to New Orleans. Is moving it by rail a option or is it cheaper to haul on back of flatbed? Going rate for a truck is $2.25 a mile and I only see that going up every month.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I moved many MVs by truck but...
AWESOME! I Won this 5 ton in Chambersburg. The best part is that it said it DOES NOT RUN. I got a disease and I cant stop buying green trucks! I hope I didn't take it from another SS member. I will be selling my 5 ton tractor for the replacement. If someone knows the scoop on this truck and...
Hopefully the mods will approve soon, but the TM for the quad mount is waiting for approval for all to see. I had to pay dearly for 10 quad mount specific maunauls and since some others besides myself seem to have an interest in quads now I would like to share the knowledge. It is TM 9-2010.
Hey Gents,
What is the max trailer load i can tow with a M35 without tearing apart my truck. I would like to tow my halftrack (about 21,000lbs not including trailer) with my M35 but am afraid of killing the truck. Just about all the towing is flat with no change in grades. Any info would be...
