    Kwai's 818 Recovery

    That is the right valve and I am sure it is because it matches the TM exactly. Is it freed up so that it allows the proper fuel lines to open? If it is and you want to sell it I would sure like to have it because the 1,200 mile trip on one tank is a frightening thought. PM me if you want to...

    Wreckerman's rolling mess hall

    RE: Wreckerman I have eaten many a meal out of one of those and you got a great piece of Army history there T-rats are purty good but the month after month of lunch buckets they served us in August 90 and on in the Saudia Arbian desert has steeled me on them and I think I would rather have...

    Oops I did it again!

    When you find out what to tell her let me know my five ton is coming home in March, and I have a couple days prior to shuffle the fleet to make room for it to hide. I think you did very well and just show here the true value of the truck and she might understand you got a $80,000+ truck for a...

    asbestos danger?

    When I taught shop they still had the asbestos fire blankets and as soon as you opened the cover you could see the asbestos fibers in the air. I always wore at least a paper filter if I got near them. I did use a couple of them to wrap headers but I soaked them in high temp cement first and...

    Towing an M105 with civy truck

    This Mod was done before I owned a duece As you can see there are many ways to skin a cat. I have pulled this even with an Astro Van but usually it was with one of my trucks. It had almost 9,000 pounds in it on one trip.

    asbestos danger?

    I worked for a plumber in the 70's and used to have the job of coating the new furnaces with asbestos. I made heat sheilding for my headers out of asbestos cloth for quite a few cars and trucks. My old house in Massachucettes has asbestos siding. I would rather have the asbestos around than...

    5 ton

    The Cummins in the 809 series trucks use an electric solienoid to engage the engine run mode. That is why you do not need to pull out an engine stop cable like the duece. Turn the switch on you get the engine running turn it off and it quits. These trucks need electricity to run due to that...

    Lots of 818 tractors

    The biggest reason the tractors are coming out is that the National Guard in Transformation has had a lot of reorginization and the tractors are falling out due to 936's coming out of Active Duty units and the FMTV tractors coming on line. I would still like to see some of the 936's stay here...

    Dirty fuel tank.

    I used full strength Drain Cleaner in my M52 tanks and it polished them up very nicely. I took the sender out and soaked it in the same stuff and it came out clean as well. I then used Rustbullet to coat the interior of the tanks and the sending unit and I expect them to stay clean as long as...

    M915A1 Bob-tail

    One of my biggest fights in the 80's was with my transportation regiment in getting CONOPS for armoring our medium trucks. It seemed many had their heads in the sand and when I went to Desert Storm I surveyed drivers all over the theater and only a handfull in a hundred knew anything about...

    818 question

    My 127 has both light systems and I had to go back down to show the inspector that all the lights on both systems worked before he would pass the inspection on it. I would like to convert all my trucks to LED lights just so they become low maintainance but I am still putting my kids through...
