He was there before 9:00. It was trailered in, as while I was exiting I-95, I could see it from the road.
I got inside for a look around, but was requested to not take any pictures.
Reminded me of my days of driving an armored truck, gun ports and all.
Chuck,
By chance did you purchase your board on Saturday from CARNAC and need some rope to tie it down with?
I met Maddog308 and CARNAC at the show. Both were very nice people.
As for SS colors not showing at the event, if I hadn’t seen Maddog's windshield marking, I would have...
Cured CARC paint is no more hazardous than any other type of automotive paint.
Check out the CAS numbers for the hazard recognition for the paints.
CARC contains some heavy metals and reacted isocynates. Typical automotive enamel paint also contains heavy metals, just no isocynates.
The...
CARC does not contain LEAD, however the primer under it might depending on what color the primer is.
White, gray, or yellow, shouldn't contain lead, red does.
Supplied air respirators aren't required for sandblasting.
TM 9-2320-260-10 covers the 5 ton 800 series truck. The quick glance that I gave of it showed operation of the controls starting on page 59.
Logsa has all of the 800 series TM's available for downloading.

Check or replace the filters first.
As for turning the screw up, since you know that you are only seeing 900 on a long pull, you should be safe going up to 1125-1150 without issue provided that you are being supplied fuel via an un-restricted fuel system.
The M101 sits just a little high, but then again, there is the adjustable slide in unit that accepts the pintle hitch, so all is not lost. Keep an eye on Ebay and you can purchase either one or both parts for less than $50.
I just purchased a third slide in with a 2 5/16" ball/pintle with a...
I kept searching Craigslist until I found someone local that had a set of four 9.50X16.5 tires and wheels, almost new Uniroyal Larado tires for the sum of $150.
The issue of 16.5" tires coming off the rim is moot provided that you keep the tire aired up to at least 20 PSI.
Wayne,
As it now stands, we ALL pay for the lack of security at GL.
If you preview a truck, then bid on said truck, say for $1750, then once notified that you were the high bidder, your credit card gets charged within three days unless you made other arraignments.
You submit the EUC and...
You are correct, however it's just a matter of time before someone ends up suing GL for a pattern of items being removed from the vehicles, and GL's responce of here's your money back won't fly. Class action suit comes to mind.
Given the cost of a recovery, GL should be held responsible for...
As mentioned, isopropyl alcohol or good ole water for the rinse.
As for combating flash rust, Galvaprep SG sold by Henkel will phosphate coat the surface and keep the surface from rusting and improve the paint adhesion.
Once this whole mess gets straightened out, I have a way for this career bureaucrat to have to do some serious jumping.
Inquire when he is going to require salvage or for off road use only titles for all law enforcement vehicles that have or had a spot light installed in the windshield pillar...
Bob,
Per TM 9-2320-386-10, the rated capacities on the M35A3 are as follows:
TRUCK............... CURB................. LOAD................ TOWED............... GROSS
M35A3 W/W...... 14,600................ 5,000.................. 6,000.................. 19,580
M35A3 WO/W...
I've seen it done numerous times, but have resisted doing it myself.
The boss had a 1 ton Dodge pick-up with 33" BFG 16.5" radials that didn't want to seat. While in the tire machine, he gave the tire a shot of ether, lit a lighter and proceeded to blow the tire off the rim striking him in the...
All is probably not lost in good ole Bama.
I borrowed this pic from one of the auctions.
AM General states that the vehicle meets all applicaible Federal safety standards at the time of manufacture.
I would wager that your M-35A3 has a label just like this.
Kenny,
Years ago while going to school I worked for a local gas station/speed shop.
Frequently we would get N50 or L60 series profile tires to mount on 8-10" wide rims.
All we did back then was to attach a ratcheting strap around the tire to compress the middle of the tread, pull...
Mike,
If the brake line fittings are seized in the hydraulic component, it's time for new brake lines. Don't bother fighting the rounding off monster, get a pair of REAL Vise Grips, tighten them down, and remove the fitting.
Since you already tried heat and penetrating oil, it’s time to use...
The tires can be mounted without the beadlocks on HWWMV two piece rims.
I recently sold the set of four (12 bolt wheels and 37" tires) that I had to a gent for use on a M1028. He had a set of well worn 37"s mounted on GM factory wheels on the truck. No lift, the only trimming was the edge of...
You might want to try dropping one number off of 50-25-50. ie 49-24-49.
Did the safe come with the change key?
Give this Sargent and Greenleaf Lock Help site a look as they have some good info available.
