    Great job everbody! I think we it went well for such a short notice mission. We will be better prepaired next year. How was Los Arcos??? My family eats there most weekends, good food and good prices. M813A1: I'm glad the inverter issue worked out. Guess those things really suck the juice...

    Ha ah, I'm busted! :oops: I wasn't for sure what KW those gen sets were. If I had that one, I would be dragging it. I'll have to settle for my little Honda gen this year.:-D

    Okay I just spoke with Michelle, she recommend that we enter the staging area from the North and avoid the traffic on 2nd & University. She said they were still receiving calls from people wanting to enter the parade, so it would be no problem if we had more than 6. So here's the plan...

    I vote meeting at the NE corner of the Wal-Mart parking lot at I-35 & 15th NLT 1700hrs. I really don't want to mess with rush hour traffic in OKC. It will be hard enough with the short distance in Edmond. I have a few more lights to hang on my M35 & m105. Also, have to get a heater for my pax...

    M817 or 5 ton Wiring Diagram

    It will once I mark the truck side tags down on the right side. Warthog says that all M series trucks are the same. That's what I'm hoping. I have a diagram for a M35, it's marked TA 114653 . I would like to find something simular for the 5 ton series.

    M817 or 5 ton Wiring Diagram

    Good deal Warthog! I was hoping that was the case. I'll let you know how it goes this weekend. The truck is still at my dad's farm in eastern OK. Now, you get busy putting lights on your truck and getting ready for the parade next week! :-D

    Sorry guys, that's what I get for trying to paraphrase the rules. Bottom line: They don't won't no Politicin. :-D

    Update: I just sent in the application for us. I put us down for 6 vehicles, however I don't think they would mind if we have a dozen show up. Paperwork & rules are about the same as the 4th parade that most of you were in. Below is additional information. Date: 3 DEC 09 Staging Time: 1730...

    M817 or 5 ton Wiring Diagram

    Does anyone have or know where I can find a wiring diagram for my M817? The military cut the trailer receptacle off and I have to replace it. Luckily they left the tags on the wires. I have a diagram for the deuce but not for sure if the tags are the same. Any help would be great!:-D

    Heater installation PICs?

    How critical are the "IN and OUT" connections on the heater core? I didn't pay much attention to it when I connected mine. Looks to me that it could be hooked either way and make no difference? PS: I know the connections to the engine are critical and I have made sure they are correct.

    Trailer lighting

    If your going to just pull one trailer, switching the trailer lights to the newer LEDs is an easy way. I bought a complete set from HF (I know cheap Chinese crap) for $40. The info indicated they were for 12 volts but others on here indicated they work up to 24 volts just fine. I did verify...

    Headlights

    Jollyroger: Alright you hooked me!:-D Great teaser, now the rest of the story. I can't really tell what glass piece to order. I can see the bulb & adapter. Any more info you can share with us? Price or place to get these online. Great idea! Thanks!:-D

    Can this be right ????

    I would say the weight is wrong. Which one are you getting 101 or 105? I pulled a 105A2 with my GMC Envoy (6 Cylinder) with no problems. Used magnetic taillights & an adjustable pintal raised as high as it would go. If you have to go far I would pull the cover off, it creates a lot of drag...
