    IronClad assurance on GovPlanet

    I was able to submit a form, photos, and estimate for repairs. They certainly put the burden of evidence on you then they get to make a ruling. If you paid more than $5000 before fees/tax/etc you have at least the standing to make a claim. If not then then your don't have the "IronClad"...

    School me on Cat ET kits

    Eesh.. that's not a good look for the hobby and this community. It's not released for public distribution so it means just that. I don't agree that these TMs should still be classified since they sell the trucks to the public but since when did the military care about common sense? It wasn't...

    Who got the GP M-47 1790-7B Engines

    The local GSA was able to pull 2 of these units from DLA before GP got those 4 units. One does look "refreshed" and the other was clearly a victim of water intrusion. I hope they go to a good home. Talk about a dinosaur (that I want!)

    Dearborn adapter woes

    Make sure to try all channel types, you may just have to do process of elimination. I've noticed some trucks like theJ1708 and others J1939 connection. Make sure the dual-link option is unchecked, these trucks don't support that feature.

    m923a2 fan actuator

    There are 3 o-rings inside the unit. You'll need to remove and disassemble it further to find them and replace them.

    True failure rates of the 6CTA8.3L injector pump?

    Your process is good. Go ahead and break open the injector lines from the injector before you start cranking to see if anything comes out. Even the slightest stream from one injector gives you the indication it could-maybe-possibly-sorta-kinda has a chance to loosen itself up and fire. Tighten...

    Dallas TX Folks - 5 Ton Insurance and Title Question

    What truck is it and was it actually made in 2008 or rebuilt in 2008? You've yet to share this info. A Progressive Commercial policy limited to personal use will insure you but that is expensive. Progressive may insure it if you bring your daily driver over, I've done this before too. You can...

    Dallas TX Folks - 5 Ton Insurance and Title Question

    Howdy IronhorseTX, I'm local to you and handle this stuff literally every day. Here's the form you need to register it as a FMV - Former Military Vehicle. The only things you need with this are proof of insurance and your choice of license plate or stencil. Now, insurance wise.. what are you...

    First M35A2c road trip!

    Judging by your pickup destination you're buying one of my former 1987 M35A2C Air Force trucks from Tinker AFB. I won't dox (disclose without permission) the owner's name but he's very passionate about Air Force legacy. The deuce you're getting has been gone through above and beyond for the guy...

    Pop off valve sticking, need correct term for the TMs

    I found replacement steps in the 9-2320-272-24-2 Page 3-1022 but I didn't see rebuild steps for the dryer itself.

    5 ton engine question ?

    The axles can take the power but getting it there is a different question. The transmission on the M809 would be your weakest link. Plenty of people have swapped in Cummins 290s easily. Getting up into the 300's+ requires reworking engine mounts and other modifications not to mention a 400 BC...

    923A1 Cummins 250 Injection Pump Replacement

    The task itself is relatively easy, take it step by step. It doesn't need to be timed or anything. What you will need is special wrenches or make your own. The bolts that keep the IP attached to the air compressor are in terrible spots, one on the back in particular, and Cummins designed a...

    losing prime after a week m929

    You can pressurize the fuel tank to 5 psi and open the bleeder nut on the back side of the injection pump. It's closer to the radiator and 10mm. Be gentle with it when tightening it. Push fluid until it stops bubbling.

    Obtained two Oshkosh FMTV A1 contract submission vehicles post demil. I was able to document them some before their cannibalization but now that they're in good (safe) hands maybe one will run again.. one day.
