    Fort Polk/Camp Beauregard La.

    Linda and the rest of the crew are great. Been there twice and they were very helpful. Linda helped load me out during the normal lunch break in Camp Beauregard so I could get back to Ft Polk to pick up the rest of my stuff.

    $4 a gallon!

    And don't forget that the recent rise in fuel prices from $90-$110/bbl is due to the drop in the value of the dollar relative to the rest of the world and not an actual increase in the price of oil.

    $4 a gallon!

    Oil companies are searching and drilling for oil constantly. Oil wells don't produce indefinitely. Oil Production from each well can decline pretty rapidly in the first couple of years of production, maybe 50-80%. For a oil company to keep producing the same volume oil it must constantly...

    $4 a gallon!

    Regarding Alaskan oil being shipped other places than the US, it does happen and it makes economic sense. It is much cheaper to ship alaskan crude to Asia and for Gulf Coast refiners to get their crude from Mexico and South America than to ship Alaskan crude all the way to the Gulf Coast. If...

    Strange military paint question....I promise.

    Somebody is confusing CARC (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating) with radar absorbency. Military paints don't absorb radar any more than any other paint. But the CARC paint is specially formulated to make it easier to decontaminate after a chemical attack.

    Kwai's 818 Recovery

    Check the height on those tires. I would hate to see them go flying off at 55 mph when you hit the low overpass. This is why I got the tractor/trailer. Put an old soldier back to productive work. And you gotta send the ladder with the truck. That is a perfect fit.

    Methanol up again....

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Methanol up again.... Methanol price is tied to the price of natural gas since it is produced from natural gas. Natural gas prices are historically highest in Jan-Mar. The price should go back down in the spring.

    XM818 fuel issues

    Sermis, looks like we have some plumbing to do. What size are the rubber fuel lines? The fitted line from the filter to the fuel pump looks new.

    Kwai's 818 Recovery

    The recovery went really smooth. Replaced the batteries and fuel filter and got the truck started after we figured out the problem we had wednesday was caused by a missing spring on the fuel cut off. Pushed the cut-off all the way open and it fired and ran steady for the next 4 hours. And...

    Fuel filter

    Found the filter at NAPA. Also, need a cap for the power steering pump. Currently using OD duct tape. What is the cap supposed to look like? Anyone got a spare or know where I could find one new or used? what is the oil filter number?

    Axel ID

    The rear 14-bolt will have a locker. If no locker then it isn't likely a CUCV.

    Anyone know the cross-reference for the fuel filter for the M818 5-ton (m809 series). I need to pick one up before I go back on Saturday morning.
