    Newbie buying M998 - Rebuilt in 2015?

    Other than that, *I* know. RSMS is a full reset..... Edit - rereading this a day later, it comes across with a far different tone than I had originally intended. Please read it without any offensive tone...

    Newbie buying M998 - Rebuilt in 2015?

    In general I agree. *However* RSMS is a full reset. They replace both gauges there also. Let me look through the original GP listing and I'll expand on this. Edit - RSMS is "Readiness Sustainment Maintenance Site". It's the high level reset. In the 5ton truck world, RSMS was a $65k per...

    98G's Welding Trailer build from an M200A1

    The crossmembers on the M200A1 are 63" from front edge of the front one to rear edge of the rear one. Happy circumstances as my welder is exactly 63" long. That'll put the center of mass in front of the axle, and it'll leave me a fairly substantial shelf area behind the welder. I think my...

    98G's Welding Trailer build from an M200A1

    Regarding oxyfuel torch: I learned to use it, and passed the tests with it (cutting precision squares ,ovals, circles, and pipe layout, heating and bending etc) , but for some reason I just like the plasma cutter better for precision cuts up to 1/2" thickness. I realise that the OF torch will...

    98G's Welding Trailer build from an M200A1

    The welder has fork pockets and an integrated skid, as well as a lifting eye. It'll bolt to the trailer via angle iron rails. 4 bolts and it'll come off. Retractable reel - I've got one. Glad you mentioned it. It'll mostly live in the garage and be covered that way but I'm contemplating a...

    Hello Misfits, new guy from Tx here.

    Sssssssshhhhhhhhh! ! ! ! ! ! Jump! Then brag about the deal. You'd hate for someone else to buy it first, lol :)

    What turbo for nhc 250

    The thing abut putting a turbo on an NH250 is the lack of oil squirters. It seems to me that it's an invitation to a melted piston. The risk:benefit seems slanted in favor of risk. A pyrometer is an absolute must. Knowing when to let off it is a must. All that being said, OH-MY-GAWD it makes...

    98G's Welding Trailer build from an M200A1

    My welder has been living on an M105A2, but I'd like to be able to reach it better from the sides for oil changes and such. I sold the bed off the M105, and planned to mount the welder on the chassis. That plan died when I left the chassis parked in the field. Someone driving by saw it and...

    Official 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade thread

    I'd like to go, but that's a long way to drive and eat the costs. I have 40mm ammo cans. 56 on a pallet. $560 per pallet. This is less than GL gets for them on the east coast, and leaves margin for resale at a profit. If I can get people to commit to 4 pallets then I'd be able to drive a 5ton...

    86' M1008 - Contemplating Chevy 350 engine swap

    What turbo for nhc 250

    Why reinvent the wheel? Have a look at what is used on the factory turbo equipped 855s and go from there... I've got an M818 that the previous owner put a turbo on. I am EXTREMELY HAPPY with the performance. I'll have a look tomorrow and see just what it is. (Shame on me for not knowing...

    Yeah. Redtruck broke down which has caused some financial strain. I had been hoping to keep this one for me...
