    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    RUMINT says 2 major warehouses, one in PA and one in Las Vegas NV. Edit - it isn't rumint. It's straight from the source. Apparently I missed a post -

    Tire/wheel options for M105a2

    Recent relevant experience towing a military trailer using the jeep. Granted, this isn't an M105, but loaded as pictured it weighs just a bit more than an *empty* M105. And it has surge brakes. The jeep was unhappy. This was a one time thing to get the trailer home, but even in that context I...

    NHC-250 turbo

    We've all been bit by the ancient thread. I know I've done it. The site suggests related threads, and doesn't look at the date. You see something interesting, reply, and GOTCHA! LMAO!

    Motor swaps

    I've got a RAM 3500 with the Cummins. I have put 200,000 miles on this one. It's the 2nd such truck I've had. As a result I've done a bunch of reading and research on the 5.9/6.7 cummins. The headgasket is the first thing to let go, usually as the result of stretched head bolts. This is prone...

    $ for food, $$ for beverages ;-), $$$ for fuel...

    I have 7 of them with 16.00R20 tires on them. I'm willing to pull them. (I'm going to 395s so that I can use the same wheel/tire as the semi trailer and not go over height ) I've always heard them called "early HEMTT rims". No idea where to get any more.

    Need Help with Batteries

    I use interstate 65's by preference, but any 2 decent batteries should work fine, presuming your truck is in good shape and the ambient temperature isn't too cold. In a pinch, I've pulled the two batteries out of my pickup truck to start auction trucks.

    NY Potential HMMWV Buyer

    The short answer - varies by state. Even more than that, it varies by who you get behind the DMV counter within the state. Interpretations of the HHA vary. What you see here doesn't necessarily reflect the interpretation that DLA and GP have on their websites. Only two opinions really...

    I'll sneak this in before the lock - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?138670-HMMWV-Titling It's the elephant in the room. For some reason we don't discuss it here.
