    71DeuceAK's M936A2

    You can see that the PTO is turning? You tried the crane as well as the rear winch?

    i know not another tire question

    My hubs weren't flipped. They were dish out. I never noticed the lack of valve stem access because I never had a low tire and never had to add air. I speculate that a 90* valve stem extension would resolve it. Flipping the hubs (a non-trivial amount of work) should allow for running them...

    M939A2 Truck bed

    About 2k if I remember correctly. The thing about the interstate is you always have a right lane to drive in to allow traffic to go around you. Back roads encourage unsafe passing.

    Unloading an M1082 - Caging Bolts and other unloading strategies

    Pic 8 almost shows it. Pic 17 should show it, but lacks sufficient resolution for me to tell.

    Unloading an M1082 - Caging Bolts and other unloading strategies

    Post a link to your auction and I'll dig through the pics. I'll also go find you a link for cage bolts . Brb Edit - these are the correct bolt, but the price is about 2x to the high side. https://midwestmilitaryequipment.com/caging-bolt-for-lmtv-mtv-fm

    Any issues with running old surplus 37’s

    The place in WI was probably Feltz tire. More pressure might have taken stress off the sidewalls.

    Any issues with running old surplus 37’s

    I've blown a 14.00 (48") at highway speeds more than once without run flats. And 11.00s also (42"). It's not as big of a deal as you'd think.

    I've got date code 2003 Goodyear D range tires on mine. 50psi. I've driven them a lot, including a trip from KS to FL and back.

    What do i need to know to install a winch?

    I've got a garden variety 2dr soft top M998. I've also got the pictured mile marker hydraulic winch and mounting plate. Presumably I need a couple of hydraulic hoses. What else? Are there instructions somewhere in the TM for how to install?

    Am I getting a good deal?

    Mine's a 6.2 3L80, nothing at all special about it, and I wouldn't consider taking $10k for it, even if I were hurting for funds. I've also driven mine all over the country (AZ, TX, NM, LA, OK, NE, WY, IA, SD, KS, MO, IL, FL, AL, GA, TN, KY, more than once) without issue. Everything works. I...

    New Member in Fort Worth, TX - What did I miss?

    A little rough. A little dirty. So clean it up and put a coat of 383 green behr house paint on it. I don't see any major problems. Looks to me like you got a screaming deal.

    8.3 liter valve cover gasket

    No, I ordered a new gasket and replaced it in its entirety. I decided a pre-made gasket would be an easier install with less chance of a leak under the constraints I was working with. Thank you to everyone who contributed knowledge to the decision making process.
