On thursday my brother and I ran up Sparta, WI to pick up our newest acquisition, a 1980 (GL said it was a '77) AM General M916. All the fluid were full, including a nearly full tank of diesel:-P. But the truck had no power, and when the GL rep tried to jump it from a HMMWV, it still didn't have...

My brother was able to get this cable from work and we wanted to make sure it will work for making a NATO slave cable. The markings are: #2/0 AWG 200C RADIX WIRE II SIL-A-BLEND AWM I A/B 200C 1000V FT2 Thanks for any input.

This is a Just-In-Case scenario. My brother and I are looking at buying a M920 sometime soon on GL. We rather not have to pay someone to haul a 920 home if it can be avoided. So we had been thinking of taking the M915A1 to go on the recovery and hopefully get the 920 running and just towbar...

Alright, I've got a M35A3 that has no working lights on the front half. My brother and I just got back from Hodges, SC with 2 M35A3s. My brother trailered 1 and I drove the other (725 miles at 50 mph so a good time was had by all). Today my brother put new batteries in the A3 that was...

Alright, I've been reading some other posts about mounting 395/85R20s on stock deuce rims, and I'm a not sure which tubes I need. I've seen people saying they used stock 9-20 tubes with these tires, 11-20s, 12.5-20, and 13-20s. What do I need? It seems like the ideal setup would be the...

The bad news. Today the right front rubber brake line blew where it is held in place by a metal clip and a spring. The good news. The truck was idling in the back yard with the parking brake on. Started the truck, and once I had good air pressure I pumped the brakes once. Pedal went down...

I just bought a M749 Van trailer on GL and I finally need to find a Intervehicular cable for my M818. I have the plug in the rear deck, just the IV cable itself is missing. So I was wondering if anyone knows where I can order one from or if anyone has one for sale in the NW Indiana area.

My brother is planning on turning his M1008 into a mud truck and was wondering what the differences are between 3/4 ton chevy leaf springs and the springs in a 1008. I guess he can find lots of lift kits that say they are for 3/4 ton trucks but not many for 1 tons. He was wondering if there...

I've got a truck 600 miles from home with an annoying problem. My new M35A2 w/w, which is currently still at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama, has a tachometer problem. While picking up 3 other trucks with approved EUCs, I found the 4th truck that had not been approved yet, checked the fluids and...

First of all, I have no experience with 5-tons, so of course I had to have one. Today I went to Drexel Gardens, IN to pick up the M818 I bought on GL. Truck looks good except for 10 well worn tires (the spare is brand new). Batteries all had decent voltage, but when flipping the ignition...

My brother just bought a 1971 M35a2 with 8713 miles on it from GL in Chambersburg, PA. We wanted to trailer it back, but the trailer we were going to borrow was a couple of feet to short. GL said it ran so we decided to try to drive it home. Left for PA on Thursday, and got to Chambersburg...
