I'm sensing a lot of hostility towards public service employees in this thread. Many are constrained by their software. They see thousands upon thousands of the same type of vehicles every day and after 5 years at the same job someone comes in with a 45 year old MV and you expect them to know...

I have a m35a2 that I've taken on trips and one of the best things about it is sleeping (I pitch a tent to keep out bugs) under a canopy in the back. While you can do this with a pickup, I think a cargo truck offers more room and security as the bed is at least 4 feet off the ground and not as...

Keep in mind, if you live in a development with HOA (Home Owner's Association) rules, you're SoL if they already prohibit these items. You could always try appealing, but there are plenty of nightmares out there in the news to show how (un)successful this usually is.

A tree limb took off the top of the stack and I had a newer, taller one installed. It's just shy of 11 feet. I chose that height because I eventually plan on putting a S-280 on the back which will bring the height to a little over 11 feet. Also started flipping the rear hubs. Me and a...

So, I'm looking at some https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/4697/Cab-Insulation-Kit and the price is right, but it's in a wooden crate and would cost $300 to ship to me. Probably still worth it, but I'm on a budget (who isn't?). I thought I'd post here and maybe catch someone moving...

Drove 550 miles (round trip) and picked up a spare engine with the deuce of course. Price was good so I figured what the ****.

I also don't do facebook, not interested in helping their shareholders. Besides, I'm pretty sure there's a board here...

I just flipped the switch, while stopped and drove. Keep in mind who would be expected to drive the truck in the first place. If there's not a warning plaque about it somewhere, it's probably gonna be bulletproof.

I've driven up and down I-5 completely across the state twice now and no cop's ever stopped me for anything about the truck. I don't know about the bumper height, it doesn't seem too high to me and I've lifted mine an additional 3 inches by putting on 46" tires. Unless you're planning on using...

As this old thread was bumped thought I'd mention about chains for super singles. They weigh 100 pounds per tire, at least the ones from the military do. 22 recently came up for sale, and it was take all and I decided to pass mostly because I didn't have the room to store them. I imagine...

Thought I'd throw this out there... On Monday 9/4 I'm heading from Bellingham to Yakima area, and back on Tues. If anyone needs anything transported to Yakima or picked up there/back, I have approximately 8' x 8' of truck space available. On the return trip, I'll have about half that.

Bought a Donaldson 70050 and had it installed: The effect of the muffler is noticeable, I have a D turbo and you could before speak loudly in the cab and be heard now you can almost do it at a normal speaking voice, at least at idle. Most of the noise now is engine noise. Later that day I...

Certainly compared with a modern pick-up with anti-lock brakes you'll be getting something different with a deuce. It's almost 7 tons of fun. Just today I was in stop and go traffic and traffic started to speed up and stopped just as suddenly, I was going about 20 when everything stopped. I...

Title says it all. About every 15 hours of use and the cable connectors vibrate loose. I have the original metal battery box. Can someone recommend a solution? Anyone ever try Nord washers? Anti-vibration mats/foam? A better battery connector?

These things were in the military long after they stopped making a specific model and it's certainly possible it's been modified by them before it left.

You can find the manual for the injection pump here: http://www.thunderboltmvcc.org/TechNotes/TechManuals/Engines/TM9-2910-226-34.PDF

Nice, economical solution.

Little late to this party, but this is how I have mine mounted and also the way they appear in the literature (assuming Michelin cares which way that is).

Besides temp, do the insulation/mats also help with quieting noise from the engine?

I haven't installed Swampdonkey's lights, but I have read the thread. While SD's solution looks great, the only other pics in the thread don't appear to show the same results and this has made me reconsider his solution. The lenses are clear, from the Humvee and longer I believe. The point...
