    M939A2 hood undercoating

    The foamy insulation holds water. I'd blame it on that.

    Question about Removing CTIS valves and balancing weights from tires

    I bought an M925A1 that had an A2 wheel and CTIS wheelweight on it, driver side front wheel. It went on towbars behind another truck. The unbalance was not noticeable under those conditions. It was probably fantastically dangerous. I towed it this way a couple hundred miles. After I got it...

    Front rims on the rear?

    Rims are the same all the way around

    Whats the rate for a Arctic Top?

    On the other hand, it's not a common item, so if you find yourself in need of one the value may be high. But $350 seems reasonable to me for both the buyer and the seller.

    night vision driving inexpensively to your offroad camp spot... Lanmodo

    Having given it some thought, I came up with a scenario where it would be useful - you're at a star party campout and need to depart. While other attendees are still observing and still have astrophotography running. Turning on any lights would ruin it. Granted, it's a very limited use....

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    I don't think so. VT's documents supersede that old title. Presumably, the VT issuing agency notified the existing titling authority about the title change. Even if not, current owner has a physical copy of the released title in his possession. The previous owner hypothetically claiming it...

    5w40 diesel oil

    The price of copper cable has almost doubled as well. What I used to get for $99 is now $185. This is designed and deliberate.

    Question about Removing CTIS valves and balancing weights from tires

    Yeah, counter weight needs to go.

    CUCV Radiator Replacement

    I put one of the aluminum autozone radiators in my pickup truck. It failed after about 2 years and 20k miles. Sample size of one. Not directly applicable to the cucv, but still relevant.

    Made it to the Glacier!!!!

    @sue had one on his hmmwv if I remember correctly. It is worth looking at. Perhaps he'll post a pic....

    Powering my rv with 806b?

    I was presuming that you had some use for the 806B other than just the RV. For example, my generator also runs my welder and plasma cutter, not just my RV. Just out of curiosity, do you use a 20lb sledgehammer 🔨 to swat flies 🪰 ? :)

    5w40 diesel oil

    This is completely consistent with my opinion/experience/research on the topic. For diesel engines, conventional oil changed frequently is the way to go. I use Rotella in all my diesels, and change it yearly or 5k miles whichever comes first.

    Powering my rv with 806b?

    Not unless you need the extra functionality. I power my RV with a female 5pin plug I wired in place of the ECU. (Mine is a drash type applied companies model, but the principle is the same.)

    Top speed

    The limiting factor is gearing . With the 3 speed you can run it a little over 60mph, but it isn't happy and won't live long. 53-55mph is the sweet spot. Adding a turbo won't help this. Power isn't the choke point. If a higher top speed is desired, a transmission swap is in order, and isn't...

    Yermo, CA to Austin, TX Hmmwv M1123

    I'm not. I sold the gooseneck trailer and no longer have the capability to move vehicles that aren't drivable. I appreciate you thinking about me though.

    Cheapest rim for 14r20 tires

    You can do it right, or you can do it multiple times, or you can wish you did it differently. Having done it multiple times, I have come to the conclusion that 395's on aluminum MRAP rims are the answer.

    Gas Conversion

    Diesel - far less flammable and less dangerous to have around. Much longer shelf life (although far less than it used to be). To each their own.

    2022 TX MV Rally Buy/Sell/Trade Thread

    I'm not sure I'll still be in TX then, but if so I can bring slave plugs, slave cables, 24v chargers, and ammo cans.

    M900 Series with 395's Tires?

    LMTV rims are a direct bolt on. They're very similar to 5ton combat rims.
