    HELP! A member in need in Galesburg, IL

    Hello, a member (Winkster) has broken down in Galesburg, IL (I believe this is close to the Iowa border). His truck is at the Love's truck stop there. He is almost half way back to CA with a new-to-him M35A2C that he bought from another party. The truck has a 5.9L Cummins in it and it had...

    (PNW) Help! M51A2 Needs new engine. What and Where?

    I don't believe an NHC-250 will fit in your truck. I concur with Elijah on the 5.9 or an LDS.

    Storm's a-comin'

    I would not worry about it, other than limbs (as Wes pointed out) that may fall onto your top. I have a cargo cover on my M1085A1 and it stays on all year...same goes for my M105A2 wood trailer with a cargo cover.

    M125-A1 Cargo Truck Cummins V8 300 Powered

    I used to own an M125. At one point, I was talking to Jack Tomlin (long before he passed away) out in Utah about acquiring the correct artillery piece that was towed with the truck. When I heard the price, I gave up on that!

    Won a MKT90 today on GSA!!! What %#$& do I do with it?

    Pat, the guy that is stopping by my place this week said he would haul the field cooler back to CA for free. PM if interested and we can settle on a price for the field cooler. If you are not interested, no worries. Good luck with the trailer!

    Won a MKT90 today on GSA!!! What %#$& do I do with it?

    I have one of the Cambro field coolers (large standing cooler). A fellow SteelSoldier is driving from my place to CA sometime next week. Perhaps, you could throw him a few bucks for fuel to transport it home. I could put you in touch with him. PM me if interested.

    WTB M151a2 Fuel Pump

    Check with TNJ Murray in DE. I get most of my MUTT parts from them.

    Will a M274 fit into a M101A2 or A3 trailer and will the tailgate close???

    I don't believe it will fit into a 3/4 ton trailer. Admittedly, I am basing this upon carrying one in an M105A2. It did fit in there nicely, but the foot basket would push the rear flap out a bit. The mule took up the entire length of a 1-1/2 ton trailer.

    395/85R20: What to look for before bidding

    You may want to give Dave at Eastern a call; Dave is a nice guy and they have a lot of parts (great source). Perhaps, they have changed their policy. When I contacted them, they had many, many tires on hand and I think it was going to be tough to take stacks of them down to pick and choose...

    395/85R20: What to look for before bidding

    Unless something has changed, Dave (at Eastern) told me you get the tires they pull...that they don't have time to pick and choose. Something could have changed (they may have fewer tires now...not sure). Dave told me that the tires were good. I ended up getting my tires from Wes Simpson, but...

    What is the ideal Humvee for a starter?

    I'd suggest making sure you won't have any problems with your state in tagging a HMMWV before you go any further.

    Gearing up my M998 for Alaska

    Tire chains are a must if you will be up there during times when snow is likely. Honestly, they would be helpful even in mud.

    My M101A3, Cargo cover

    IMO, camo without a doubt.

    MWM diesel?

    You may have gotten a warning for posting auction information on the site, but there is nothing stopping you from letting someone know via PM about that information.

    Rebuild the engine or swap the bed to a 900?

    I'd stick with the M817. You might be able to find a good take out for a reasonable price. I used to see them available from time to time. Moving the bed to a M923/M925 won't work very well IMHO. The bed is made for the shorter WB trucks, like a tractor. Even then, the cab protector won't...

    Does CARC fade?

    Absolutely. Your truck shows typical weathering/fading for that age. Personally, I'd stick with what you've got. It is fairly clean, even if it is faded.

    Our MTVR camper:

    Sure, the initial owner can sell a vehicle that came out on an EUC. Yes, only the original buyer goes through the EUC process, BUT all subsequent owners are bound by the agreement. For example, the EUC states something about not being able to export the property (unless the person has the...
