    wood gasification or steam

    It's been a couple of years since I saw Wayne Kieth. I assume he is still doing the wood gas thing. He lives about 40 miles from me near Springville, AL. My neighbor and I have discussed building a wood gassifier but we both have projects that over ride doing it right now. We were going to...

    m931a2 emergency shut off issue

    I have known these trucks since 1991 and those solenoids have always been problematic. If you stood in the Motor Pool on a quiet night you could hear them disengaging on all the trucks with low batteries. The wrecker I was baby sitting had the same issue as yours. I yanked it out and manually...

    M35a2 stacks moved

    I did it on my bobber. One of our fellow members still has it. I fabbed the stacks from two Marine Corps HUMVEE fording exhaust pipes and ran flex pipe from the turbo to the splitter I made from scratch. It sounded pretty good. Tried to find a pic but no joy.

    5T is HOME!!

    The air dryers are problematic on these trucks. That would be my first step. Several vendors on here stock replacements or rebuild kits.

    Hemtt rebuild location

    They had a HEMMT/PLS rebuild program for a short time at Camp Shelby, MS but I think it is all gone now. CSM Davis may want to jump in on this.

    Putting the M936A2 to Work

    Anything a M936 can't pull it just pulls apart.

    M915a1

    I once had the dubious honor of driving an M915 from Fort Benning, GA to the National Training Center in California. As stated the spring ride suspension will beat your teeth out and make your kidneys hate you. I was more than happy to fly back on a C-5A. They would make a great day cab tractor...

    I bought another Oshkosh WT2206 meet BLOWZIILA

    Did you say it has a "Buzzin Dozin" to power the blower? Overkill is underrated.

    931A2 Intermittant starting, starts and runs for a while then stops.

    The M36A2 I babysat for so long had this problem. It will drive you nuts. You could run the crane all day long at about 1300 RPM but if you took it out on the road and ran it wide open it would eventually start sucking wind and die. If you pulled over and let it idle for a while you could limp...

    Added gasoline to diesel tank - how much is bad?

    In Germany one time I ended up at an Army airfield in a deuce with an empty fuel tank. I knew the data plate on the deuce said "Do not use aviation grade gasoline" but I was bone dry and miles from the next military fuel point. I found an old Chief Warrant Officer and told him my plight. He...

    Brand new to MV. Just bought a M52a2 dump.

    I've been on the hunt for a dump myself but they are selling for stupid money on all the auction sites. A multi-fuel like you just bought went north of seven grand on GSA a few weeks ago. The multi-fuel is going to be a toad in the road and there is very little you can do about it. There are a...
