    Value? 1967 M51 Dump Truck

    Way more than $5k. Significantly less than an m929, slightly less than an M817. But the fact that it's a functional dump truck adds real world useability and significant value. Judging from the pics, it looks like you've done a really nice job restoring it. I'd call it $10-12k. I'd also...

    I just won this M1082 2013 Oshkosh

    I'd use the MV. It's within reach and would make a nice little roadtrip for the MV. Here's the thing about the pickup truck - Sure, he moves 25,000lbs with it on a regular basis. But his trailer has brakes and the lion's share of the braking is done by the trailer brakes. The 1082 only...

    HMMVW roll bars

    Sue and family were gracious enough to allow me to accompany them in their HMMWV for some mild offroading at the KAMO thing. I was very impressed with the rollcage and brush guard they had fabricated. Well thought out and well executed. The brushguard portion is beefy enough that he used it...

    New to the site and military trucks!

    The Mack's are somewhat rare. And desirable. As to tire size, I recommend against 14.00's. 14.00's are no longer in use by the military and the supply has dried up. Replacing them will be a PITA. 395's are plentiful and cheap and frequently already mounted on a compatible rim. 395's are 45"...

    Aquiring SF-97 form

    They can get more than just the tare weight wrong. The most recent XM818 that I transferred was listed as a gasoline powered sport utility vehicle. GP has typoed the serial number on more than one vehicle I've gotten from them (transposed digits or omitted digits). They seem to run about a...

    Aquiring SF-97 form

    Consider- Your name doesn't appear anywhere on the SF97. The SF97 transfers ownership from the fedgov to GP. GP then fills out a reassignment letter transferring the vehicle to you. In contacting DLA directly, what you're saying in essence is "I bought your vehicle from GP. They're dragging...

    M934a1 Detroit Series 60 12.7L Swap

    What's your definition of "decent mpg" ?

    Goodman Ball 2520 (10kW)

    Someone bought it. Was it you? Some general thoughts - This looks like an off the shelf military acquisition of a civvy genset. The military seriously underrates their generators. What the Army calls 10kW is more like 12.5kW in reality. So comparing an 803 to a civvy 10kW isnt really applies...

    Running MEP-803A at 50Hz for smaller loads

    I predict no noticeable effects of any kind, good or bad. Given a huge runtime sample size at 60hz and a huge runtime sample size at 55hz and some seriously sensitive measurements, you might be able to detect some small differences in fuel consumption and bearing wear rates. (Huge = hundreds of...

    Running MEP-803A at 50Hz for smaller loads

    It may make a small difference, but that difference will be well to the right of the decimal point. JMHO

    Locker in the rear axle only

    The thing about lockers and snow/ice is that when you break loose you break all the tires loose and begin sliding downhill, be it forwards backwards or sideways. With open diffs when you lose traction at least one wheel stays planted and you simply stop moving.

    Aquiring SF-97 form

    This has been brought up before. Thee short answer is no, the government won't accept a request directly from you.

    MEP-804B Missing Gauges

    Going the other way from duals to singles all you have to change is thimble removal and a lug nut change. What's different here? I readily admit I might be missing something. Enlighten me...

    MEP-804B Missing Gauges

    Same wheel and tire as a deuce. To put duals on it you'll need the correct lugnuts and thimbles and 4 identical wheels/tires.

    Specs or source for the nuts that hold the wheel halves together? Thanks
