CARC flakes off easily and is expensive for the real deal. Behr housepaint may be the best bet, but it isn't as resistant as CARC to salt/brake fluid etc. Or just use rustoleum. It's nowhere near as durable as the above choices, but its cheap and easy, looks good, and is readily available for...

Maybe your park brake needs adjusted? Are you using chocks, one for each wheel? (In case it isn't obvious, I'M KIDDING) :)

Treat every stop as if you may lose brakes. Always plan for where you're going to put it if the brakes fail.

Randomly as far as I can tell, although they do vary by location.

With 939series 5ton trucks, towbars are the solution. The LMTVs are not as conducive to being flat towed. Flatbed with equipment ramps and a winch. Be extremely cautious. GP has a tendency to view these trucks as scrap and treat them accordingly. If your shipper shows up with a flatbed and...

I've got a ring off a soft top that goes beneath the LWS. I see no reason that this ring wouldn't work equally well with a hardtop. At worst, this provides you with dimensions for making your own openings. This one is constructed of fiberglass and aluminum (or it might be stainless, I didn't...

I had a guy try this with me in California. My call to California DMV told me there was no way to do it unless the vehicle was first titled in the seller's name and the transfer tax was paid. This is someone attempting to skip title (illegal) or someone who doesn't know any better. Either...

If it were a 6.7 or a 5.9 cummins in a pickup truck, your symptoms are spot on for head gasket failure. The very close similarity of the 8.3 make it really suspicious that that is the case here as well....

Slacker! :)

I'd strip it to bare steel, paint it with rustoleum, then apply the mat like Albert did. Sealing in dry rot etc is just an invitation to rust from the inside.

I can pick up out of Ft Riley and hand off with Droprat near KCY. For roadside assistance, I have tools, the Redtruck, and a 20+5' Gooseneck. I'll cover you halfway between Ft Riley and Lindsey's, call it Wichita or slightly south. Unfortunately my 5ton is on blocks until I can get wheels...

A liquid oxygen tank requires an EUC and sells for around $100.

At the point you drop the trailer, the truck tractor is going to have a small advantage over the cargo variants.

M932 with an M1082 in tow. Use 395s on both and have commonality of spares....

Yes, and 5 calls to DMV will get you 5 different answers also so that's no better. As an aside, I notice a lot of confusion between GVW and GVWR. By the way, thanks for the link to the article on gelled diesel fuel. In learned some things..

GP has an 8 business day pickup timeframe. Since they're only open for pickup one day per week, I interpret that to mean you have 8 weeks. At the point push came to shove in small claims court over late fees, or over breach of contract, I'm willing to bet high odds it would go in your favor...

Frank, I really like the way you included what the transport is worth to you. I try to do the same thing when I post in the "parts wanted" section. Saves a lot of needless questions. Of course, I'm nowhere near the east coast...

I didn't own it. I fetched it from GL for a buddy. It was box stock in every respect. The M816 and M818s generally pull harder than the M923s with auto transmissions. Back on topic - I think the two biggest issues for the M934 off road are going to be side slope, and high centering.

Please note the 8mph was an A1 with NA 855. It's an apples to oranges comparison, but still good data.

Between Las Vegas and Phoenix on many of the uphill portions it was first gear and foot on the floor going 8mph. For comparison, I towed a MK16 using an M923A2 over the same terrain at better than 35mph.
