No thinning on the Behr. I want it to apply thick(er) to imitate the CARC and help fill in any scrapes it may have gained over the years. I used an airless sprayer with a 5 gallon bucket to keep application consistent and it helps keep me in my groove when painting. I despise having to take...

I've painted a dozen M1078s and Behr Marquee Exterior Flat is the way to go. 5 gallons 383 green if you're doing everything exterior and one more gallon if you want to do inside the frame. 383 Brown I recommend the Rapco rattle cans and you will use 3 or 4 for the truck. Black, use Rustolium...

No, it's a 2004. The truck has a battery disconnect box and lacks the features of an A1R: cab grab handles, larger door handles, etc. The 2004 year models (with some variance of late-late 2003's) received these upgrades that later became standard on the A1Rs 2006 onwards. You sir have a typo...

Yes, I'm very much still in business. I'll message you.

Finished up this fine specimen of a M923A2 ROPS truck. She was a full on rebuild and deserved a facelift and tires.

I saw that too and watching closely.

.. is how I read your post. You completely missed my point to try to "one up" me needlessly. You, me, and everyone else who has been around FMTVs knows that's not the standard tire rating. G/14 ply with a max rated speed of 55 mph is the standard. The K range are indeed rated for the 110km/68mph...

Steering the conversation back on track here. I'm going to watch the ECO hubs closely to see the real world performance. There are some big claims made and I want to see them from non-affiliated sources not those directly manufacturing, distributing, profiting, etc off them. Solid 3rd party data...

M1088 - Cat 3116 M1088A1 - Cat 3126 or C7 (computerized) The feeling on the 3116 is up for debate for many reasons, some have serious weight and other just don't like the color yellow. It's commonly referred to as a "throw away" engine as they're rated for only 300,000 miles. They are what they...

Doesn't matter. After you drive a HET to and from a parade everything is relatively good. aua

It's there on post 7 with the label for scanning. I made 3 gallons last week so the color code is still verified good. (y)

4 stands at 4 tons each. Overkill is under rated. I've got two M4K forklifts to pick up each end of the HMMWV so it's all easy.

Just shot this truck on Friday with 383 Green Behr Marquee Flat and need to do touch ups today. It's all in the prep work and taking your time.

IMHO they're kind of the black sheep of the deuce world since they were a stop gap truck. AM General had bigger plans for them but the Army cut back budgets enough to get by so short cuts were made. If you can get a clean truck with a fiberglass hood for a decent price then great! Welcome to the...

I've not had chipping but the adhesion is only as good as the CARC beneath it. Fiberglass should be spray and forget. You can even layer it up on glass and peel it off in a sheet instead of taping and scraping.

Thank you!

Having painted 45+ units with Behr here's my input. Behr Marquee Exterior Flat - don't cheap out, don't get anything other than flat if you're trying to keep it military Do not cut with water If you have major CARC chipping do a second coat. Follow Behr instructions for application, it's easy...
