    Which bottle jack?

    Carry two....not just one and cribbing. Consider - you have to start off low enough to get under a flat 16.00. And you have to end up high enough to fit an inflated 16.00. Most jacks wont have enough travel to do this. And you can't add cribbing once the truck is on the jack.

    Bought a M929A2 today, I changed the oil before starting & found 2 Quarts of anti-freeze; assume blown Head Gasket?

    A spray can of ether for $5 from the truck stop will tell you if you have fuel problems or something else. You can sit in the driver's seat with the door open and spray it over your left shoulder at the intake stack while cranking. Regarding fuel cut off- pulling the cable kills it by...

    Bought a M929A2 today, I changed the oil before starting & found 2 Quarts of anti-freeze; assume blown Head Gasket?

    Did it fire on ether? Zip tie the solenoid in the run position or get rid of it entirely... Edit - I missed the last hour's worth of posts when i first made this one. Strange. Anyway, solenoid not required to be present. Causes no problems running without it and just using the kill cable.

    Has anyone performed a M200A1 trailer brake conversion?

    Offroad and low speed? With a 1ton pickup truck? Total weight about 7k? Who needs brakes? Fine as it is. JMHO

    M1102 and LMTV compatibilty

    Bolt pattern is different - they dont use the same wheels or tires. But a 1078 will tow an 1102 just fine.

    What date codes are on your Humvee tires?

    2003. They look fine. They aren't out of round or weather checked. Drove from KS to GA and back on them. If they didn't pop then, they're probably ok.

    I won at Auction.... Next steps

    This is exactly the case. Army trucks get off road branded paperwork. USMC trucks get clean unbranded paperwork.

    changing out steer tires on M35a2

    Little bit of ground clearance. Little bit of higher speed. Cosmetics. Availability. You're aware that all tires need to be the same size.

    I won at Auction.... Next steps

    To elaborate - get a wheel in the air spinning and hit the brakes and jerk it to a stop and snap it. What's your take on a hmmwv's tolerance to increased power? No more army HMMWVs is big news and deserves its own thread for discussion. I was unaware of it and I'll bet many others are as well.

    I won at Auction.... Next steps

    Because it isn't unusual to snap the half shafts at stock power levels.

    I won at Auction.... Next steps

    Rereading my earlier reply it reads way more negative than intended. Sorry. My understanding is that every state honors tags and drivers licenses from other states. If you're a SD resident then CA *should* honor your paperwork. I have driven mine from AZ to KS to GA to KS to MO and everywhere...

    I won at Auction.... Next steps

    With almost a thousand lbs/ft of torque and 500hp you're going to break virtually everything in the drive line almost immediately. Slantback and reasonable price don't go together. You may have difficulty registering it in California.

    Purchasing M-1078 or M-1079 thru GovPlanet

    1) No. 2) each purchase gets it's own EUC after the sale. Happy waiting.... 3)M1079 is going to be more than M1078 due to height. The box puts it over height on a standard flatbed. 4) Maybe.

    I think that is specific to the 939series trucks. Someone correct me if I'm wrong..... Edit - I'm wrong. Thanks
