Picking up a trailer at Texarkana next week after some storms move though. It's looking like they will be getting some good rainfall. Is it a mud bog there after a decent rain? Cant tell by pictures if it's gravel or just graded lots. They only do pickups M-W 9-2. Of course! GP was less...

Just recovered a M989A1 HEMAT 408 miles towing a heavy trailer was an experience. Could not find much in pictures on exactly how it looked hooked up. A few side shots, but nothing in detail. I knew how to hook it, but didn't know how much slack would be in the power cord and air lines. Turns...

Discovered torn axle boot on passenger side. I have all the tools needed for this except the huge spindle sockets. Where can I buy these? Local parts places no luck. Would truck parts stores have them? Is changing it as bad as it looks?

Doing extensive PM for upcoming trip. Sprayed some lube in a few of these but they still felt gritty when moving them around. Took one off and found this. Took the rest off, all 22, and cleaned up each one. Reinstalled with a good coating of ACF50. Not only Lubes but stops the corrosion...

Searched but no luck Recovering a M989A1 Ammo trailer next week. I know/think the Gladhands color hooks up to the same color on tow vehicle. Whats throwing me is that on both my 5 tons, looking at the rear, the red is on passanger side and blue on drivers side. Looking at the front its...

I know this has been discussed before but it's been a while. How many CUCVS have been seen lately waiting to be sold? Sometimes you can see a few in the background in GP listing pics. I know quite a few are still serving. The auction pool is getting smaller each week I'm in the market for...

Early Breakfast at the famous Cattlemen's in the OKC stockyards. A very rare and perfectly timed pic to get the truck alone up front. Place is always packed.

I bought some storage containers last week and saw these. They literally just arrived and the other one was still on the truck. Brand new 40' High box 9'6" Corden Steel . Whomever did the paint, they did a really nice job. Govt. spec for sure. Hinges have grease zerts. Perfect for storing...

I have searched and read conflicting information. Have two 24v solargizers Installing on M925A2 with the standard 4 6AGM Hawker battery's. What Is the correct hookup for these? Ive read different ways in the 5ton and Deuce forums and the pictures posted were not any help because the wiring...

Searched TM's and also found a ton of threads and info for the switch itself. Have a new ACDelco one on the way. What I'm needing is a new pigtail for it. I can't seem to fine the pigtail part info and didn't see it listed in the TM's. Found the switch itself just fine.. Anyone have any info...

Have read the threads about this and there are several part numbers out there. I'm running a gates 7575 right now and even when brand new it's almost at adjustment limit. After the run in and readjust, its maxed out on travel. Since the tach install all has been good but haven't been driving...

Had 60-75+ Straight line winds along with hail and tornadoes and super cells. Some reported 95+ wind gust. Welcome to Oklahoma in the spring. Used the M925A2 as a wind block to protect my travel trailer. Then used the other ones to protect other buildings from the winds. It worked like a...

I've read all the old threads about replacing Dashpads. There are a lot. I know OEM ones are no longer made. My question is to everyone that has bought new aftermarket ones. What brand has held up to the environment the best? I don't care if it's $500, but I don't want to have it crack a...

Replaced the shot factory horn with a new acdelco one. Added a second A note acdelco horn on other side of grill. New relay New relay plug (original one had been cut out at fuse block). New factory steering wheel horn parts. Removed capacitior and refreshed grounds. All this and still...

Gem in the Rough...... M1008A1 I picked up my M1008A1 from Ft Hood on 9/11 I was a little disappointed. Pics showed it to be in better cosmetic shape than it was. In fact I was a little pissed. Some things missing that weren't shown in pics. After the 8 hour drive back to OKC I just left it...

I finished reading all the old threads. Now I skipped the ones about lift kits, engine swaps, turbos, 12v conversions, and exhaust stacks and snorkels because I could care less about those. WOW! Now I totally understand why the mods and others always say search first ! When the question of...
