A recommended fix in an emergency situation. BUT, now is a good time to make it right. ;-)

I suggest going to a Parker Hannifin dealer that supplies fittings. Locally for me it is Triad Technologies and I had them make up some patches for my hard copper line. I never thought about converting them to something other than copper but I am sure they had the stuff to do it.

I suggest you go through the manuals for the M809 series trucks. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tms-for-m809-series-5-tons.121483/ In particular the -10 manual for operation. The M809 does not use fluid for the clutch. If either the clutch or brake are soft and going to the floor I...

Heck, my new (to me) truck requires a step ladder to get up into the driver's seat. The fuel tank steps suck on a M915A1.

Good grief, thanks for pointing that out. No other groups left for me to go into. :-(

I just finished recovering my 915 Saturday 500 miles and I can guarantee you your CUCV will ride better but I still have smile on my face.

And it is still on there which is unbelievable considering how bad the ride was over Jellico in TN. It it had come off I could only hope Gimpy didnt hit it with my RAM behind me. ;-)

Wes did. Hahahahahahahaha

Pics for @juanprado It just has wood on the side in c-channel.

Thanks Juan. I'll try to get info on the bed.

I was in Georgia, he was welcome to come and jump in the bed, or should I say fall in. (I'd have filled it with something first.) :)

More pics and my favorite of her snuggled up in the barn.

It is a rare Home Depot special. Sorry, I never said it was a military ladder. We are going to come up with a bolt-on step for the fuel tank steps. I can get in without the ladder my old knees will thank me if I use the ladder. Thinking about I can put a chain or rope on the body handle and...

Thanks Rory and I'll get on the pics.

Many of you know I sold my last truck a couple of years ago. It was my first truck so I was a little said to see it leave on a wrecker (no brakes). I had been looking for a M915A1 and had basically given up any hope of finding one I could afford and that wasn't in Puerto Rico. My wife and I...

And yes, my wife had pics from her story. Booyah!

While it sort of looks cool it does illustrate the flaws of humans thinking that the current state of AI is in fact intelligent, it clearly isn't. It can do things really well and I use it several times a week at work just to pose what-if questions. And we are applying for a grant to build...

I read this thread and was amazed to find a military truck that wasn't water tight. Who knew. (Yes, that is sarcasm if I was too subtle.) I can't wait to see the finished truck. I won't say I liked painting an MV but it wasn't that bad.

I think you are right. Had I known I would have driven over and got it from you. But alas, I left FB and for valid reasons.

I have read the whole thread and while I am a supporter of military generators what you have asked for is a civilian version and I agree with Coug. There are a couple of 003s here on the property and I have never used them for a power outage. Even though they aren't mine I can use them if I...
