Good question, will look it up

Red line was 2200 RPM and a whopping 60 mph... So, mostly going 55....

Yep yep yep. Seem to me a $$ compliance issue. Manufacturers of new trucks have required to pay so much for safety and highway features in order to cut competition compliance out and now they have a hissy fit on people acquiring military vehicles. So much for serving your country as a soldier...

Hmm. I have to drive a deuce from Indiana to Florida, I might just do it and stop by that rally on the way down. I got a few NDT wheels I could trade with there and a few advice I could get too.

Was able to title the R11 and get a temporary moving registration to get it to Florida all the way from Arizona. (Took about 51 hours counting the breaks with my friend co-driving). The second picture is from the first trip from Doyle, CA to Phoenix, Arizona with my friends on top taking a...

I have changed the oil filters but not yet the greased the grease points. I think I need to change the front boots and check the seals and brakes because the brake force is weak (wet?). I empty the air tanks opening the drain cocks after a day's ride but sometimes there still is a bit of...

Once I shut it down after a trip, I hear some kind of humming which must be the lift fuel pump. Am I correct? Also, are these originally equipped with a hair drier, if not I was thinking of installing one if possible. I am thinking of changing the fuel filters too but I hope it is not going to...

Finally got it titled, registration pending the IRS 2290! Oh my. What a drag. I guess they wanted an actual Florida dealership license number from iron planet, the sf97 and their bobo letter not being enough. Iron Planet had an actual one for Florida. Not sure why in their process they did not...

The glass is so blurry I cannot even see if there is any oil or not. I drove it last 10 hours no issues but I will need to look it up seriously now.

Was not sure if this was the right place to post. I have a front wheel on a tanker truck that has this cap allowing to sight the lubing, one used for trailer wheels too, I was told. I was not sure how that works and how to fill it up or maintain it. A trucker dude said if it is not lubed right...

i could not find any studds for 5 ton combat rim halves , was told to get a Hemtt studd and solder it on when I messed one up. Anyone knows where to find them?

I tried the NAPA power steering fluid and it does not work very well… might be too thin, the steering felt strange or seemed to have slight vibrations as a result. 10w hydraulic oil i I think is what is needed. https://www.uslube.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pib-milspecG.pdf Others say CAT10...

So I finally found a guardsman on base who is a cop in the civilian world to sign off my papers. Thank goodness for networking. That dude saved me a lot of trouble.

Right now in the Phoenix area but would be willing to drive an hour or more at this point to have some LE sign it or have someone help process it for me (I can get a temporary moving permit to drive it there). That is all the Florida DMV require. They said they do not accept the AZ DMV agent...

I am racking my brain in Arizona (deployed there on TDY) to have my Florida vin and mileage certification form signed so I can take it and my auctioned truck to the Florida DMV to make my plates. If anyone knows a brave police officer in Phoenix who would do it for me, thanks, that is all...

I am getting stuck on a fundamental incompetence of police/DMV out west. I am in Phoenix trying to get a police officer to sign a Florida DMV vin check and none of them will drive to my truck lot to do it so I can make a plate in Florida to drive it there. Sheriff says lot is out of his...

So I fell upon a spring brake chamber at NAPA for semis that fit my truck. Found out that the original brake was leaking because the douche installed the diaphragm backwards and it was making a sort of octagon instead of a disk as a result. I still installed the new outfit despite the fact...

Not sure if it fits in 5 ton category... The old Oshkosh R11 tanker beast ... But there she is in all her glory, at Luke AFB no less where she probably used to work (now she is for 4th July show) after this "DART mission" (downed Aircraft Recovery Team), except it was not a team but myself and...

Interesting idea. Just a matter of finding a trailer or maybe putting on decent wheels and dragging it out,

Went to local Forrest Service Military surplus scrap yard, found a few heavy duty snatch blocks and a couple crane big chains. The guy wanted to sell me a whole crane attachment, he had a couple taken off deuces and still good. Not sure how I would fit this to my 5 ton, though. Any idea if it is...
