    Wow, don't have to be an You said in your first post you knew nothing about these trucks, and I was just explaining what the run flat mode does.

    Run flat just dumps air into the system to keep the tire somewhat inflated during emergency needs. Really helpful when you need to air a completely flat tire.

    City ordnance needs to revised, greater than a 1.5 ton rating is a 1500 / 150 or higher. If you go by weight than most SUVs weigh close to 2 tons and can haul close to 2.5. City ordnances need to keep up with the times.

    Anybody ever won 2 auctions by accident??

    Just keep the rubber on the pavement and you should be fine. It's not a sports car so you don't have to wind it out. Find a comfortable speed and don't worry about pissing people off, I did 50 for over 500 miles, could have cared less who was pissed about having to pass me.

    New 5 ton owner saying hi guys

    Movement Tracking System, was a satellite based tracking and messaging system. Ran on Windows NT 4.0 and was pretty good for what it needed to do, then we got FBCB2 (Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below). The ram mount, and the little black box underneath it is for it, and the antenna...

    Best way to change fuel sending units on 818.

    Ok, I did a little search but nothing pertaining to the 818 truck. I sprayed the bolts that hold the plate over the tank today with some wd-40 and tried to remove the bolts with my ratchet and wrench and it was a no-go. Little timid to take heat to it as both tanks are full and I've seen first...

    New 5 ton owner saying hi guys

    Looks like it had a mts system in it. They left the power box, and the antenna mount for you. Looks nice, were you able to preview it?

    When to Engage Front Wheel Drive

    My mistake, I thought all air shift transfers did it when going in low.

    When to Engage Front Wheel Drive

    Correct, mine is sprag his is air shift. The air shift would engage front automatically upon going into low. Correct me if I'm wrong Ray, but if memory serves me correct it is the same as on the 939 series.

    When to Engage Front Wheel Drive

    I guess your talking about locking the front axle? When you lock the axle your just activating the axle to spin. This can be done in HI. When you put the transfer in low the front will lock automatically regardless of the air switch on the dash. When shifting between low and hi follow the...

    FMTV legality issue?

    That was what I was saying, legal to own, how to register is an another ball game. Plus, depending on the purpose you might not have to register it at all. :deadhorse:

    FMTV legality issue?

    Legality is simple. GL sells it and issues a SF97, it's legal. It's just a matter of how you register it. Take the hmmvw for example, not legal for us to own one from the government. GL does not issue a sf97, and it is issued with a demil code and euc.

    FMTV legality issue?

    Legality is simple. GL sells it and issues a SF97, it's legal. It's just a matter of how you register it. If BAE sell a civi version of the same truck of course they are going to tell you that you can't own the military version, they want you to buy the leather upgrade.

    Parking M923 in Glendale, AZ Residential Neighborhood

    All my neighbors know I'm crazy enough if they complain they will find their respective cars underneath the truck. Although, I don't live in a HOA, the chief of police lives down the street, and I'm 3rd generator fire fighter so I'm known well in the town, plus I'm certifiable crazy, lol I...
