    Anyone want to rescue a M211?

    I guess that might work too.

    Anyone want to rescue a M211?

    I hope it gets saved. I would wonder about a deuce or 5 ton behind it in first low to keep it coming down nice and slow.

    Pressure gauge port or????

    Those are the secondary and final fuel filters. The little screw deal on top is the bleed screw to let air out after changing the filters.

    Looks good!

    reasonable price for a Deuce

    Mis-spelling "deuce" usually cost an extra thousand. I would guess $5,000 or so because or the air assist steering. The torn steering knuckle boots are a piece of cake. If you can turn a wrench you can replace them. Search for the "stepxstep" thread.

    Nice!

    "We the children" an observation about our civil liberties when collecting MV curios

    The reason for the HMMVW rules comes down to liability and money more than national security. Do a search and you'll find some threads about it.

    How to respond to unsupportive comments?

    "I'm on the way to the drug store to see what they recommend for my Ebola. Cough, cough!" I find that my deuce brings many smiles and memories to people. Use your vehicle for the powers of good and forget those nay-sayers. They are few and far between.

    Front axle seals and boots stepXstep

    Did you remember the little metal disc that goes in the top spindle? That could cause the hub to hang low. I don't know how much clearance there is between parts when everything is put together.

    RT-68 Radio Guru needed

    Search for Steve Haney. He does great work for a reasonable price.

    HMMWVs going to public auction.

    I would be very surprised if they made it out in one piece but we can always hope.

    Whistler sound?

    You just need a C turbo. It is the turbo that makes the whistling sound.

    UAZ joins the fleet

    It looks great.

    HI gang.

    Welcome back. It looks great!

    Camouflage question

    I think full 3 color would look the best. Solid green was just a generic way to paint the truck.

    m151 vehicle identification

    Also look under the back. The A1 and earlier has a single point suspension. The A2 has a trailing suspension. Also so check out G838.org.

    m151 vehicle identification

    You can try CARNAC's VIN info thread. Just do a search for it.

    Deuce hydrolocked?

    Glad it was something simple. Parking in gear is bad. If the truck gets bumped it can start up and drive away.
