I pulled out the old glow plugs since it was taking two cycles to start and the old ones are labeled with a 070 on the hex head and are Wellman 6 A 843G115 on the barrel. I put in ones that have 289 on the hex and 19207-12338771 on the barrel. Am I going to be OK with this swap or am I headed...
Got Mine and drove it home
Mine is a great truck that cost me $3050 from the St Julians VA GL site. Bought it before the 10% premium back in 2003. It had a low tire that once I started it up I used the air to fill it and it has not gone down since. I drove it home the 200 plus miles and it...
I was a truck mechanic at the George Port truck stop at the New Canaan B3 stop on the New York Thru-way back when I was a Bible College student and one night a local guy came in with an old dump truck with a rear flat. I used every trick in the book and a lot of compressed air with a CP 1"...
Ryan if you need any help around the Mason Dixon line let me know PM me or call my cell 443-722-7954, I have a big toolroom and can help if you need anything in my area of the map.
I don't ever recall seeing a 915 with the type of NDT that we have on the dueces and five tons. They came issued with 10.00 20 commecial bias tires. When given the chance and funding we switched them over to radial and got much better performance and milage. The other 900 series trucks came...
Ok Friends I have a bid on lot 14 and will do the group buy thing if I win it my GL last four is 4819 so if I win it the folks here interested in one will get one at the average price I wind up paying if I win it.
I think a big part of this is that we transporters are now seeing more combat related attacks than a lot of the infantry armor teams. Go figure I have been screaming this for over 25 years that we needed better protection and capability in the trucks we drive for the Army. In Iraq and...
All you need now is a chain saw and a trailer to get all the downed hardwood in the photos to burn next winter. Great Truck I am trying to get ours looking that good.
GL has a very decent search engine and you should be able to find anything they offer with minumum time involved just do it weekly or bi-monthly. I tried to win an M 818 and I know the only one who won any was the infamous and still unidentified 8500. I have an open request for contact with...
This is the best stuff I have found it is silver so it covers well and is easy to topcoat.

It is expensive but it works great
Kenny:
I have been looking for this too and the closest I have come is the Overson hubs,

I hope someone comes up with this as well as a Milemarker number as well so a choice can be made.
I am sorry I do not have a photo for this yet but I will add one later, in short my belts started screaching on the way back from New Jersey with my dolly and trailer and when I checked the belt adjustment frame was all the way at the limit to adjust any further. What i did to fix it was to cut...
I didnt say they are not awesome I have rescued people in Wheeling WV during the floods of 96 and had mine submerged to the middle of my seat and it ran strong. We even drove them up and down the Wheeling Civic Center steps to get folks of there since it was surrounded by flood water. As the...
Is it a 6.2 variant or 6.5? In both cases the ability to be submerged is based solely on the seals on all critical components. Just like a Deuce is equiped with a fording kit the Marine M998's had sealed componets to allow them to drive underwater up to the snorkle. I would do a complete...
Ryan:
That is great to know the $100 price still gets a trophy. I have two CJ2A's out back and both of them are in slighly better shape than that but not much. I am putting a fiberglas body on one and the other is gonna be a donate to the other truck. It does have a PTO on it if anyone is...
I have a few on my watchlist right now and will only post an "I WON IT" post since the issues are too close to legal issues and I do not need any of those right now. 8500 types are around the the net is not a totally friendly place. I can tell just from my limited time on this site that I...
I used to be stationed at Fort Devens and my sister lives in Medfield. Mom just died last year while I was in Iraq and her house is being sold on Cape Cod. Mass is a beautiful place too bad there are folks who think marriage is not a sacred bond between a man and a woman. Hope you all like...
I kind of like to post the I WON IT info because Bruce, Kenny and Neil are right about prices being driven up. I hope that 77008500 is not lurking on this site because that guy has scooped me and lot of others out of some nice trucks and trailers. The Google power allows many to find this site...
