    Replacing Fuel Filters

    Well I replaced the primary water seperator / filter on the M814 today, it's about done and ready to start working, and as I was reading through the -20, I found that there's a smaller filter inside the IP that needs replacing as well. ODIron didn't have these when I bought my fuel filter...

    Pulling Cummins 250 IP and other parts

    So I'm pulling the small external parts off a canned Cummins 250 I bought from GL. I was considering holding on to the whole thing, but there's no place to put it at the time, and it can't sit in the back of my M814 forever. So far I've pulled the alternator, PS pump, starter, both manifolds...

    Guys, I'm looking for two windshields for the Deuce. I can't find a search function for the classified items for the life of me. Anyone have a pair they are willing to sell and ship to me?

    Deuce and Other Trucks seen during Israel Trip

    My wife and I wandered around through Israel in a rental car for the past few weeks, and I was suprised at the number of M35s, M813s, and other trucks, and armor I saw. I've attached a few pictures, too tired right now for much else!

    Evaluating Canned NHC 250

    So I have a wonderful NHC-250 in a can I bought a few weeks back. It currently resides in the back of my M109, but I can't decide what to do with it. I originally thought to scrap it, but curiosity got the best of me and I had to open the can up to see what was inside. I got it open, and the top...

    Electrical Issue, Where to Start

    I've read a few of the related articles , and I have a couple of questions on where to start with some electrical issues on the M814. I've driven it around a bit, and a few days ago, while making a short trip back I noticed my voltage meter had pegged out. I couldn't get it to go down, and all...

    Anybody have the wheel well to wheel well dimensions for a 105? I believe the bed to bed dimension is just over 73" or so. I want to put the items in the picture in the back of one. Ones a 300A arc welder that's right at 28" in width, and the other a 15CFM compressor, right at 23" or so in...

    Single Piece Drive Shaft on XLWB 5-tons

    So I spent a bit of time taken apart the remains of my M814 rear drive shaft, and I'm really struggling to figure out why they went to so much trouble to build a two piece drive shaft as opposed to a single piece shaft. I've heard two piece shafts are used for high speed applications because of...

    M814 recovery from Drexel ... Someone was watching out for me!

    So I loaded up the SUV over the past few days with all the needed items I could think of and what I had found suggested here for recovering a 5-ton. This was a M814 listed in Drexel, no start, so I assumed dead batteries and took along a pair. Morning started out not too early, 6:30am from...

    Pickup of first 5-ton

    Well, I talked to Dave who covers Drexel Gardens this morning, apparently I was one of the first for approval, so he doesn't want to make a trip up for just one pickup, so they are going to wait until next Wednesday to allow for load outs. Unfortunately I'm in California it looks like next...

    General Tire Temperature Question

    So my wife and I took the M109 on a tour of sorts of Indiana this weekend. We drove two lane roads primarily, US40 from Springfield to Richmond, then down from Richmond via 27, 101, 1 and 46 to Batesville, Indiana for a shoot. We then drove back from Batesville via I74 to Cinncy, then up 42 to...

    Big Refueling Truck - Oshkosh

    I think this is the right place for this, and I've searched around a bit with no luck. I've seen a few aircraft refueling vehicles up on GL from time to time, and I was wondering what they might be used for. I suppose people with aircraft might have a need, but can they be put to any other use...

    Killed my alternator

    I took a look through some of the similar threads here, but can't find if this might be the true cause of my problems with my alternator. My wife and I took the M109 down to Kentucky for the Thanksgiving weekend, it was a hit, we slept in the back of it, while connected to a 120V outlet outside...

    Why should I buy a 5-ton?

    So I like my M109, and it's going to get it's first use as a camper over the Thanksgiving weekend, but I'm thinking I need a cargo bed Deuce or maybe a 5-ton. Why should I buy a 5-ton over a Deuce, any other advantages over weight carrying capability. It looks like some on GL are going for...

    Brake Line

    So off to IKEA today with the M109A3 to get some furniture. I get up early to do my walk around and check everything out pretty well. So I decided to check my brake fluid this morning, I went about the regular routine of removing the small line to the top of the reservoir, remove the cap, fluid...
