Thanks Chris, like I said before, I would still be dragging my butt if it wasn't for your thread motivating me to finish it. If the weather holds out this weekend, i will be sand-blasting the truck. I will be using the rustoleum rusty metal primer for my base coat and plan on putting it on...

Was going to say the same. Many are converted to look like the Sd.Kfz 251 for reenactors and some collectors.

Ed, what is the proper way to engage and disengage the rear PTO? Transfer case first then PTO, then tranny, then higher rpms??? I have a little trouble putting the transfer back to high when I am done. If I wait too long after disengaging the rear PTO, then the transfercase lever does not want...

Well, after a filter change and a little persuasion from starter fluid (barely any), I cleared the injection pump of any water and she started right up! Boy she sounds good. I was able to get a few more work sessions in and I was FINALLY able to test the rear PTO and use the crane. A true...

BTW, isn't the new HEMTTS suppose to be incorporating the new independent suspension design like on the 7 tons if not exactly the same?

Nice to hear from you again Sir! Stay Strong. Wendell is a great American and I am sure his Guard Unit misses him.

Are there any tranny guys out there that have any experience with automatic shifters (push button type) that can be mounted on the side of the allison transmissions. The new Marine 7 tons have this feature and I would like to possibly upgrade my 5 ton with this feature. However, if they are...

Got to love it. That motor looks like it just fits within the frame.

Thanks Ed

Thanks Chris and the same to you! I will wait for the pics to see the setup and to see how it is mounted.

Thanks, Its just a line that supplies air to the horn. Good eye though!

Army Ed, thanks for the info. I will pm you offline. Yes, they both have the ABS kits. They both also have the fuel/water separators on the side of the motor. Is this the same one you are refering to? I had this truck running perfectly and now she wants to fight me on this onw. Boy, do I hate...

Well, I have her home. She is a real beauty! Cosmetically this truck puts mine to shame, however, she needs a motor or a motor re-build. Minus a gauge, some CTIS componenets and an air valve here or there, this truck was not molested. I will post detailed pics of her soon. This weekend I...

Nice progress Chris. Sometimes I think we are in a race.l

Thanks for helping JW out Bjorn. Did some more work on the truck. Finally finished all the wires by the transmission. I let it intimidate me for the longest time and finally today it did not seem too bad. It all of the sudden made since (probably because I had a laptop with the P2P program...

Thanks Bruce! It should be here late Tuesday if all goes as plan. I will look tomorrow J.

Did more work on the truck today and yesterday. Talk about cold, wet, and misreliable and I live in the SOUTH! I don't know how you Yankees can live up there! God Bless Ya. Anyway, I re-attached the tranny coolant lines back up along with the heater and transmission cooler filter bracket. I...

Don't know until I have both trucks side by side.
