    Bought an M123A1C today

    Yea, if I can get the right amount for it I'll sell it but I really don't want to. At the same time, I really want a house too. Plus I have to many vehicles.

    Bought an M123A1C today

    So I ordered the front cover oil seal today. The TM part number was 158556. Jason at militarytrucks.com got back to me wicked quick (actually the only one that got back to me, within a few hours after I called too) with the Cummins part number and I ordered it today through my dealer. Part #...

    Dumb MRAP question

    If we can import armor and tanks from foreign countries I can't see why our own government won't sell us armored vehicles. It's such a waste just to cut them up.

    Permanent removal of engine fan? Driving without fan

    If you idle for a while in the summer on a hot day I think it could be an issue. My 7.3 in my F350 has a bad fan clutch and won't engage at idle. It has started to overheat if it idles for 15 or so mins on a hot summer day. Or a lot of low RPM low speed crawling.

    M817 Blowing smoke but won't start

    Most of the time "bad" fuel in a diesel is dirty fuel. Diesels will run on 20 year old fuel if it is clean. I would pressize the fuel lines from the line that connects to the IP all the way to both tank to flush any crap, change filters, and flush both tanks if they visually look dirty with fuel...

    Why wouldn't this work?

    I wouldn't bother step filtering. If you allow the oil to settle for a day or so most crap settles out. especially when mixed with RUG. I would filter directly to 5microns. I personally filter twice at 10. I just recognized your username from CVN. I've got an03 Marauder.

    M813 Loadout

    I was under the impression that all injector pumps needed to be calibrated and tested after rebuilding? These pumps and be rebuilt on a bench? I'm surprised there wasn't more scrutiny about towing a 5 ton with a deuce. A year and a half ago everyone would've been dead set against it. That's...

    M123 and M125 10-tons

    The V8300 make 900ftlbs. They arent that expensive to own (purchase price) and maint is like any other big truck. They really aren't much different from owning a 5 ton or a deuce, just bigger. They are not that difficult to drive. And really, they are not that difficult to find. There wasn't...

    10 Ton Tractor M123 info

    Parts aren't very easy to find but not impossible. The front axle, on mine anyways, has ton of leaks. Actually it has many leaks all over the place. It starts easily in warm weather without the glow plugs, even without full fuel filters. They are pretty easy to get the hang of shifting even...

    How much is too much gasoline in a waste oil blend?

    I've been running WMO blends exclusively in my 89 and 93 F350s with 7.3 IDIs that used the DB-2. I use a mix of about 40/60 stale RUG/WMO and it was about the same viscosity as diesel and the same starting characteristics and smoke. I tried a 50/50 mix and it was just a little too much RUG and...

    Anyone repaired a radiator?

    I had a large branch/tree stab my radiator right in the middle when I had mu deuce. I heated the top cover off, soldered/JB welded the bent tubes closed and re soldered the top cover back on. It was the first time soldering anything other than small wires. Don't make a big deal out of a simple...

    Lombardini generators

    This thread was informative. I had come across a a civi version flood light and was curious myself as I had never heard of Lombardini. No specific info was ever disclosed just the fact he was interested in purchasing one...until the auction had actually closed we weren't informed any of these...

    Anyone running a front locker?

    I think I would put the locker in the middle axle first since you can still chain up front. I say the middle because it is pulling some vs the rear pushing.

    Not sure how shipper loaded my truck

    Yup, they just climb right up. I loaded a 923 like that except with both rears up. It was the first time I drove a 900 series and it was a fresh rebuild en route. Right place at the right time!

    Meet up? Staying in Fairburn, GA for the night

    Work flew me down for training tomorrow. I'm not sure why I didn't get a rental or anything considering there's just fast food around me pretty much which I don't eat. Had to walk about a mile down the street for some (quite) good chinese.
