    Register a HMMWV in NY

    I havent registered a HMMWV but my 5 ton has a short VIN too. As long as the VIN is on the title then you should be good to go. The title you have is an official doc and NYS DMV has to honor it. If the first person doesnt help you, I would walk away and then return another day to try someone...

    Not sure to be honest with you. I would bet that NYS DMV wants their share of taxes.

    NYS DMV will accept a SF-97 as a title. I did it with my 923a2. VIN doesnt matter since its on the SF-97 and thats a government document. Bring the SF-97 and your invoice from govplanet along with DMV paper work and you should be good to go. The VT title route is possible but more paper...

    Horsepower

    I will give you my 2 cents. I dont have the elevation you have, which will rob horsepower from any engine but I do have plenty of experience is some bad terrain. I usually have 4000 to 5000 pounds on the truck while off roading. I have been through 4 foot of water, 4 foot of mud, been stuck...

    Welcome to the green disease from another native LIer! I dont have any experience with VIC 3 stuff. For my CB head phones I used Rugged Radios. They have tons of communication gear. They are known for baja race gear.

    Good morning Everyone, Good news, Rausch creek is open and we have booked the weekend of June 5, 6 & 7th. The only new rules we have to follow is you need a mask while in the office and around groups of people that are not your family. When you are by yourself or social distant, you do not...

    Rental truck to tow pintle equipment trailer with air brakes?

    Ive towed a 12 ton tag trailer weighing 5000 pounds with my 2016 ram 2500 with very crappy electric brakes and it was ok to nerve racking. I didnt have the braking capability i needed, even empty. I did keep an eye open for ideas. Ive seen a lot of rental equipment places have the Ford...

    RESCHEDULED: **Spring 2020 Rausch Creek Rally**

    Hey guys, unfortunately due to the current circumstances, I talked with Rausch creek and they are closed until further notice. They have no date of re-opening as of today. With that, I am canceling the May Rausch creek Rally. I am looking forward to the fall rally in October. If things...

    8.3 Cummins fuel adjustment

    You wont notice much of anything if you bump the timing up on a stock pump. Adjusting the timing helps when you add more fuel. Due to duration of the fuel injection cycle is very retarded due to safe settings of a stock pump. Also on stock settings, your lucky to get 20 psi of boost which wont...

    8.3 Cummins fuel adjustment

    Look up nevrenufhp on youtube. He has videos specifically for the Bosch MW pump on the 8.3 in the M939A2. I would start with putting an EGT gauge in the exhaust manifold and a boost gauge. Then start playing with the pump. Some of these trucks run hot from the factory and need to have a...

    As of right now, Rausch Creek is closed due to social distancing laws. I will update this thread as time goes on. Hoping this will subside in the next few weeks. Stay safe everyone!

    First MV: CUCV M1008 or deuce?

    Ive never owned a CUCV or a deuce, I went straight to 5 tons as my first MV. lol. I wouldnt change a thing. I do have a good amount of mechanical experience and not afraid to tear into stuff. Given your circumstances, I would vote for a CUCV. Paying for parking gets old, as I have my truck...
