    CARC In Aerosol Cans

    Gary, I did not know that Sherwin-Williams offered CARC in spray cans. Where on the page that you attached does it mention spray cans? Maybe I missed it. There is a company in NJ that sells CARC in spray cans, but it is pricey and I don't think they will sell to civilians.

    5 ton questions help a newbie out

    Make sure that the previous seller did not require him to sign the title. If it was signed over to him, he'll need to convert the title to his name to sell it to you with a title...unless he is a dealer and has a dealer reassignment form, which does not sound like the case.

    S-L-O-W M934 Expansable

    Also, run fresh fuel and conditioner through it. I once had an NA M35A2 that was a dog...absolutely no power. It had been sitting for who knows how long before it was sold through the DRMS. Well, I changed the filters and ran a few tanks for fresh fuel and Power Service conditioner through...

    Tnj Murray trailers

    I have purchased from them before and John Murray is great to deal with. I have never tried the email route, but I always get through on the phone. When I was last there, he had a few really nice M101A3s with racks. I don't remember if any had covers or not.

    Has all of the MINT CONDITION SURPLUS already been SOLD??

    I recently got a rebuilt M1078...a true rebuild, not a RRAD reset or whatever they call it. It was a true rebuild with either new components (e.g., transmission) or rebuilt (e.g., engine). They come out. You just have to look carefully. My truck was listed as "would not start" or something...

    Storage Fee's GOV PLANET Updated Enforcement Policy.

    I was going to say the same thing. I once had a truck at a site that was only manned on Mondays. They were unable to be at the location on the first Monday after the sale, and the second Monday was a holiday. I was in close communication with the site manager, but that did not stop GP from...

    Differences between 1998 and 2008 MTVs?

    Agreed. However, I will add that the 3116 zips the lighter M1078s right along. I've never driven a C7-powered M1078 for comparison, though. But, I do have a C7 in an M1085A1. More power...and your opinions are echoed here.

    Things to do in DC this weekend

    I believe they moved everything to Ft. Lee, if I am not mistaken. Things to do in DC? Hmmm...if you have never been, you could check out the new water front area in SW DC. Or, you could go to National Harbor. It is fairly new and has a lot of cool restaurants and shopping. There is even a...

    Differences between 1998 and 2008 MTVs?

    SCOTTMANDU has most of the big differences. I don't know which years some of these changes came into effect, but here are some more: 1) Different bumper 2) Grab handles on the outside of the cab (this is a very nice addition/upgrade) 3) Roof insulation inside the cab 4) ABS 5) Different...

    LOUISIANA PROPOSED NEW LAW : HB 549 Provides for Military Surplus Motor Vehicles

    You probably already thought of this, but I would suggest sending her a formal thank you note. You may also want to let her know that you will remember her support when the next election rolls around!

    max tilt/slope/roll angles when driving for say M1079

    There is a video on YOUTUBE that shows the operation of an FMTV...I believe they show an M1079...on a side slope. They tell you the max grade and how to drive on such a slope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irUwErlR5OU

    Possible solution for dreaded engine stall when brakes are locked up.

    Especially the ones that came out early. I have had M939 series trucks since 2001 when it was almost unheard of to own one. My first truck (an M929) did NOT have ABS.

    45th Annual East Coast Military Vehicle Rally Militaria Flea Market 10-12 May 2018

    I will be there, but I am unsure which days at this point due to work and family obligations.

    Source for 6TL Battery

    Yes. If you look at the battery tray, it is shaped to accommodate 6TLs or Group 31s (one way, the battery tray is wide, and the other narrow).
