You called a salesman and asked him what products he recommends? Seriously? Hows this: LO 9-2320-209-12-1 30 APRIL 1983 LO MIL-L-2105 Already established that the current MIL-L-2105E spec is GL-5 oil. The original MIL-L-2105 spec was superceeded in 1987 to the D specification, which was...

This is a great example of not really having an idea of what the TMs mean. The MANUFACTURER is the one who told the Army if the oil is acceptable. You are grabbing at random scraps of paper trying to come up with a coherent reason for not following the TM. Picking up a civvy manual and...

That's what the LO calls for. I use the 'SuperTech' brand (Wally Worlds house brand) and its good stuff. I also use the SuperTech oil filters for my 'zuki and the 'SuperTech' oil for all my cars. As long as it has the appropriate API logo/designator then they are guaranteeing meeting the API...

Whats kinda funny is that if you got the truck from GL, or any truck released from active inventory, it had GL-5 lube in it. So, since about 1993 IIRC its had GL-5 in it, then you read an outdated TM (again, I cannot find a LO on this site that specifies a GL-1 rated oil) and think that somehow...

I regularly hand start my jeep (4 popper) and have started my CCKW (inline 6)and you don't die or have massive kickback if you do it right... of course those are low compression gas engines. But a deuce? Nope... as mentioned the compression is gonna stop you dead PLUS you have accessories...

For the WIN: Para 6: 6.1 Intended Use: The gear lubricants covered by this specification meet American Petroleum Institute (API) Service Classification GL-5 and are intended for ....... http://www.everyspec.com/MIL-SPECS/MIL+SPECS+(MIL-L)/download.php?spec=MIL-L-2105D.00002029.pdf THERE YOU...

They talk of using GO which meets MIL-L-2105. GL-5 is a civilian designation, which means nothing to the Army. Um.. read the spec sheet. There is a list of documentation used for reference on how to perform the test, what the results should be etc. They are the same as GL-5. If MIL-L-2105...

If we had a 'Broken Arrow' type event then no, I really don't think that a dust pan or OBA is gonna do much.. but the Military is like that.. train for the worst, hope for the best. If the explosion is significant enough to breech a missile tube, then its gonna light the propellant, and there...

Having worked on Trident I & II nuclear missiles and seeing them up close (warheads) the first thing that popped into my mind was storage for the actual core. Plutonium IIRC is not highly radioactive.. its a alpha emitter and can be contained with minimal shielding. Not till you reach the...

I don't think the Army is dumb enough to put incompatible oil in the drive train, end of life or not. Is there SIGNIFICANT difference in the rebuilt M35s in use NOW vs the rebuilt M35s showing up on GL? Other than the A3 and auto trans, I don't believe so. I agree that way back when GL-5 did...

Where are you getting this 'no GL-5' from? The manufacturer or the TM? The current oil spec is GL-5 compatible. Wet clutch != snychro. If the transmission is not syncing you can always double clutch. A synchro is never meant to fully engage. All I am seeing is scraps of paper with...

Going by the LO on this site: MIL-L-2105 is the oil for the diffs, tranny and transfer. API Category GL-5 designates the type of service characteristic of gears, particularly hypoids in automotive axles under high-speed and/or low-speed, high-torque conditions. Lubricants qualified under...

SAE 50 is a Viscosity Grade. Tells you nothing of what IN the oil, only how well it will flow at TESTED temps. So you are happy to use SAE 50 maple syrup? API is what you need to look at. THIS IS WHATS IN THE OIL. The pdf says API CD, CE, SF and SG are acceptable. For Diesel Specs: CE...

I am a bit confused.. many wandering points. What exactly failed? A seal? A gear? A shaft? The case cracked? "The failure cannot be traced to the oil change"?!?!?!?!? Synchronized trannys have the brass snychros that the MT-1 spec protects. I have GL-5/MT-1 in both a synchro'd (my 42 Ford...

I am awaiting my first M35a2 EUC to clear. After reading lots of recovery posts, I keep seeing the same thing... the cab noise is bad. What opinions are there regarding driving with your hound? I have a pack of 5 and would like to either throw them in the bed or in the cab... Anyone have...

The GAP is right down the road from me.. I used to participate but it really is the 'minor league' of events. There are lots of people there, but its really funny to see some of the clowns that show up. As for the public side, there really isn't much of a public battle. Walking through the...

YOU PAY FOR SHIPPING BOTH WAYS. Once at your shipper of choice, the other is build into the price. Go local. It might be slightly more cash up front, but then you can personally thank him if it works or question the heck out of him if it don't.

I have to do my little 'don't crank the motor till you service it rant'. Sorry, but its your turn :) Service that engine, clean the filters, change the oil, use fresh gas READ THE TMs! You just found and purchased a rare MV and now your just gonna stomp on the starter and hope for the best...

I heard the same rumor but never actually read anything about it. They could have simply fallen off onto the road (that like an 8 ft drop) or drowned.. don't know.

Just think if you accidentally ran into someone all you would do is go up and over them because of the sloped hull... not that you could see what you hit in the first place :) A DUKW is definitely on the 'When I win the Lottery' list, but more towards the middle/bottom of the list. Like...
