While I way down in FL I visited my cousin at Hurlbert Field. He's retired AF and now works as a contractor for Lockheed Martin. Got to fly the CV-22 in the simulator and got to crawl all over a AC-130U out on the flight line. All I've got to say is if you get the chance to get in a real...

Just use two 12v chargers and hook one to each battery. It's better to charge them both seperatey anyway.

I've been debating about selling my m715. I like the truck but I hardly ever get the time to drive it. It's bone stock other than a civilian ignition.

The way the surplus chain works is the equipment is first offered to other governments. If nobody else wants it, it ends up on GL. I can't imagine there could be many left. I highly doubt any trucks overseas will ever make it back home.

The thing about the stock valves is that they are "backwards" from every other quarter turn valve I've ever seen. A standard ball valve should work fine though.

You'll have to pull the trans to access the clutch. I don't know how heavy the trans is but you don't want to try and pull it by hand.;) Sounds like you don't know a lot about changing clutches. I suggest you read the TM and understand what you are doing before you start turning wenches. It's...

I've had several trucks that the parking brake would stick (bad cable).

I didn't care for the language either. I also got the feeling that if you don't own a A3 you're not welcome there. They ask for your truck VIN to sign up and one of the mods posted that if you give a bogus number you would be banned. With that being said, they can do whatever they want to over...

It is generally frowned upon by law enforcement to have somebody riding in the towed vehicle. I'm not sure I could have stopped it going down hills without somebody back there. The Pete weighed 26k according to the scrap yard scales.

I like to drive a Detroit every now and then as long as it belongs to somebody else. While they do seem to run forever with very little maintenance, when they do go to giving trouble they can be a pain. The Cummins is simpler design. You don't have a blower, temperamental rack, or temperamental...

Yes, that will work. I did something similar to this to pull military trailers with my civi Dodge.

I'm not really understanding what you're wanting to do either. :? Military 5th wheel trailers have a female plug on them which is just like the plug on the back of a deuce. The m818 has a cord that has a male plug that is just like the plug on a m105. On military 5th wheel setups, the cord is...

I did flat tow a Peterbilt one time about 5-miles. There was a guy riding in the Peterbilt to apply the brakes at a stop (I ran deuce air to the truck). I wouldn't have done it without somebody in the back to help me stop. P.S.- Before everybody tells me how illegal this was, the cops were...

More than likely it would be coming from the FDC. Do a search on how to bypass it. The flame heaters have also been known to dump fuel. It could also be a leaking IP but this doesn't seem very common.

You'll want to bob it if you go with air ride. Most tandem air ride setups don't have anywhere near the articulation of the stock setup. You can get a air ride setup with a lot of articulation but it's complicated and expensive. Hendrickson makes one I think.

PM sent. I've got a hood with a little rust and several grill guards that are yours for the taking if you want to come get them. I've got a radiator also but I'm hanging on to it for when I do something like this.;)

I've got one of those I bought several years ago. My coils had froze and busted also. I painstakingly disassembled them and welded them up. Mine is a little different than yours. It's got a few small things that need attention. I've tried to get a manual but it is restricted for some reason. I...

Ok. I thought you were transporting 250 gal of propane to cook with. Here's a thread that tells the wire numbers- http://www.steelsoldiers.com/trailers/59349-electrical.html?highlight=trailer+wiring+diagram Edit- Jeff beat me to it.

I don't recall which ones but you don't need all those wires. All you need is 4 wires (the other wires are for blackout lights and such). One for tail lights, one for right turn, one for left turn, and ground. After you find the 4 wires you need, attach a plug that will plug into what you have...

Someone has mentioned using a gamma goat column before. How does it bolt up to the cab? Got any pics of the steering wheel? Gringletaube is running this setup and I think the same size tires. He talks like his steers fine. If it's trying to twist the frame I'd say you have problems. A ram...
