When GL lost the rolling stock contract they sent out a notice for everyone to request an SF97 who needed one as they were only going to provide them for a limited time. This was something over three years ago. My understanding is GL closed their titling office in Phoenix. At this point I...

Make sure it's a title and not an SF97. The SF97 is only good for the initial transfer. XL tires are to be avoided, especially on the steer axle. At the price you mentioned, any decently running decent condition M931A2 is worth that *if* it has a title. I'm highly suspicious that he didn't...

You're describing an M931A2. There's a big long list of things to check, but first and foremost is whether the seller has a title in his name. Not an SF97, not a bill of sale, but an actual state issued title.

The 5ton combat wheels or the LMTV wheels either one will be fine with the standard lugnuts and wheel studs. HEMTT rims would require offset lugnuts or longer wheelstuds. What size tires do you plan to use?

Which wheels are you planning to use?

Do not use the rear thimbles. Use lug nuts like you have on the front. Using thimbles on the back is unsafe. I've seen it done, but they aren't designed for singles and can break.

I'm just now seeing this. Probably want to post similar future situations in the conversations forum. That said, it's happened to me a couple of times. I got "read the TM" instead of a bolt size. Nothing like being dead on the side of the road in a 24v vehicle with 6% charge on the phone and...

Minimal lift, 34" tires, and a custom fabricated rear bumper that gets the pintle up without putting torque on the frame rails. There's a couple of thousand lbs of steel in the bed in this picture, or it'd be closer to dead level. On your suburban, a 4" lift with 37''s and a smallish...

My understanding was that plasma cutting was insufficiently precise and water jet was the solution. The last truck we put on singles we sourced the adapter plates off ebay, with some hesitation... but they seem just fine.

It's neither safe nor legal , but the hitch and riser at tractor supply will work. The issue you're going to have is that the trailer is 2750lbs empty and has airbrakes. You'll be towing it with a non airbrake vehicle. ABS makes it worse, not better.(this is all NA if it has been converted to...

Have you added up your total amperage load?

None of them have a 17digit VIN. If you find one that does, it's been tampered with to meet DMV expectations.

It's just about as cheap to buy 395s already mounted to LMTV rims as it is to mount them to your rims. LMTV rims will bolt right up to your truck and have the correct offset.

They split hairs and don't consider a minimum opening bid to be a reserve. Obviously it's another way to accomplish the same thing. Mostly what I'm seeing is opening prices best described as retail, but they're willing to let someone else pay more to take it away from you. Then they...

Location is going to kill it. Ft Bragg and Camp Lejeune flooded the market with 2013 and 2014 unissued rebuilds. They were selling at $350 or so in as new condition with cargo cover.

It's a matter of practice. Those long gooseneck trailers with a short pickup truck spoil you. You start to think that you're really good at backing.... I recently had the experience of a similarly short trailer and a 5ton with cargo cover on. It definitely took some adjustment getting used to...

My XM818 has a springer seat just like the driver's position. (Same cab as M35A2). I put an MRAP seat on the springer base on the driver side of my M925. This should be viable for both positions of the M35A2 as well.

Well, I did it. AND IT WORKS! 208v 3phase in, 208v single phase out. So says my multimeter and my welder. (My welder tells you what power it sees at the plug when you power it on) The tape is strain relief so that any pull on it pulls on the tape and not the wires. I used #4 AWG. Note that...

I have that same welder. You're going to like it a lot!

Engine warm, warm day, NOT the same as PS fluid hot. Driving 12 miles on an 80 degree day isn't enough to get PS fluid "hot". There's enough fluid in there to soak up quite a bit of heat during severe use. Severe use = constant turning of the wheel for an extended period, or powering a...
