That thing is huge! I've seen pictures of them in magazines and on Mail Call, but putting Hannah next to one or a HUMMVW for scale makes a big difference. For reference, most civilian semi-tractors are classed as 5 tons.
My deuce had one of these brackets too, I didn't know what it was for until now. Now I really have to have one of the bottles, I've done a lot of research on decon foams.
The decon agent contained in the bottle pictured is DF-200. It was developed by Sandia National Laboratories and is manufactured and sold by Envirofoam Technologies. It is an effective and relatively environmentally friendly decontaminant. It has only been around since 2000, so that is a...
My experience as a former truck driver is that when one battery goes, replace the other one as well and find some other use for it. When you put a new battery with an older battery the old one will fail soon. I have seen this again and again.
I'm glad this came up. Yesterday I was offered the powertrain out of an old motorhome. I'm told it is a Dodge 416ci 265hp engine with auto transmission. Runs good, 35K miles. I don't have a project to put this in, but I'll bet the price is pretty right. Should I bite?
The DOT does not require a warning for these trucks because they do not have air brakes. These trucks have air assisted hydraulic brakes. If they had true air brakes, than a CDL would be required even though they are under the 26000# gross weight limit. The air system is a convenience for the...

Where did you order the mirror kit from and about what did it cost? My truck had them at one time, it still has some of the brackets, but somebody robbed the mirrors before I got it.
Yeah! Let's see some tech articles about mods we can do. 11.00X20s seem like a good start, but I'll bet there are a lot of little things that will improve economy and performance.
Wow! You set the bar pretty high for the rest of us. I have really enjoyed reading your articles here. I'm curious about the exhaust brake. I just became the proud owner of a deuce (see www.M715zone.com, other military vehicles, Kelser M-70 for full story). I was thinking that what the...
Is the VIN number on an M-35 anywhere on the truck except the data plate? I am working with some parts trucks that have missing data plates and I am trying to match titles. I'm told that on my M-715 the plate is the only location.
