Completely different size needed for the 1.5 ton trailer than the 3/4 ton trailer...

I got a new rear harness from Saturn Surplus a while back for a duece that I was rebuilding (somebody had cut the lines about four feet back from the tailights...). Looked to be for a M36 as it was a couple of feet longer than it needed to be (just put a loop in the cable along the frame rail...

77mph with the current combination: ZF S5-42 five speed, 4.89 gears in the diffs, 900r16 Michelin XZL. Currently has the 2600rpm governor spring installed. I have a post in another thread that list some of the other work needed when you go this fast such as seatbelts, disc brakes, rebuilt...

Always keep that bag of mini pretzels in the truck with you... along with a can or two of ginger ale... Especially if you purchased your burger from the girl wtih the boyfriend's name tatooed on her neck... :) Seriously, I saw Bill after his experience at the Krystals and decided that it was...

Go to M Series Rebuild and see if Charles will tell you how he does the air brake conversion on five tons... He has photos on his website of a full air conversion that he did recently for a customer's M817... See two photos from his website below... His website is located at...

RE: Re: RE: Comparison Pic of 11.00 XLs and 9.00 NDT NOT XL's, but I was down at Berg Tires in Fayetteville, NC last week picking up a load of tires and noticed that they had about five hundred Goodyear G177 in 1100r20 for $120 each... For that matter, they had a large supply of Titan...

I run the M561 "Gama Goat" full red lenses on my trailers (and on my M38's and M37's...). Greatly increases the light output from the stock two or three bulb round tailight housings. I have been known to swap in 12v versions of the 24v bulbs when towing with a civilian vehicle instead of a...

The NCANG has gone to some fairly cold spots in recent years... NTC and Iraq (at night, both get kinda cool...). Heck, even the mountains in NC can cold enough in the winter to want a block heater in a diesel... Can't quite make out the unit numbers in the photos in the other thread on...

Boy, I have a ways to go to catch up with Bjorn if I am going to put my XM708 in a lineup at Aberdeen anywhere near his ride... Bjorn, remind me again what size tires are on the XM757 and I'll keep my eye out for suitable replacements when I'm tire shopping. I seem to be spending a lot of...

Re: RE: NC to GA and back Hey Joe, put that axle and the rims in my pile and I'll swing by and get them on the way home... You're not far off the trail, and I need to check out your yard... :)

If NickD doesn't have one for you, send a PM to "Tanner" and ask him about it (include any part numbers you have one the piece that you have) since he works for a company that supplies connectors and harness parts to the military and their vehicle suppliers...

I will be making a run before the end of October from Raleigh down to MCLB Albany, over to Atlanta, then back up to Raleigh. I'll be driving my M35A2C and will have a generator in the back of the duece from Albany back to Raleigh and a loaded trailer from Atlanta north, but there is room for...

It's a New Process 88950, unless somebody has swapped out the original one for a M37B1 transmission in which case you would have a NP420. To confirm before you start ordering parts: The early mode (NP88950)l has a short shift lever, fill plug is on the driver's side, and there are two shift...

In addition to the free meals given to Veterans at ALL Golden Coral resturants (nationwide) on Monday, November 12 (our local club will be displaying vehicles at the Cary, NC resturant where we have our monthly meetings), we have three parades that we are actively participating in this year...

In NC, the DMV uses the same tag renewal form for everyone (I suspect most states do this as it saves a lot of money...) so you get a blank for the DOT number even on those registrations that don't need one. Every one has instructions on the back forwalk in, mail in, and online renewal (and a...

I'll post up about this in a seperate thread when I get some more details (and will PM you). Meanwhile, the parade starts at 10:00AM on Nov. 10 and bassically runs up Fayetteville Street through downtown and circles the Capitol Square. We then set up on the Square for the speaches and...

RE: Swing Up seat mount. Ace is right again... Go to my website if you want to see photos of the complete jump seat setup... Early model M37's had the jump seat, B1 models did not. Dimensions for the troop seat wood given on my website reflect this. The pieces pictured are part of...

The image in my mind (no photo to go with it, just a report from the guys who did it...), is of Gimpy hauling my M817 from the GL lot to a remote storage site using his M109... They said it was a tad slow and smoky going up some of the hills... :)

RE: Re: RE: update Glad that this was bumped back up... I have to turn in dates for the beach house in a couple of weeks and have been discussing who gets it when... :) Anybody have a serious preference for dates in September 2008??
