I just mentioned in the other thread that I can probably look at it for you either next week or the week after. PM me the LOT #.

All great ideas, and definitely more creative than I could offer. My suggestion would be to contact CARNAC or check the classifieds for bows. I have regularly paid about $20 a bow complete (two uprights, two elbows, and a top bow). They are around.

Did your truck have duals or singles? Converting to 1100X20 duals might increase your power a bit, too.

Knowing you :) , I am sure you serviced the truck. If I remember correctly, it was a rebuilt truck, too, so the fuel system should be fairly clean. A clogged fuel filter or a dirty fuel system would rob power. Still, it sounds like your truck should have more power. I wonder if you could get...

Should have also added air-assist steering as another plus. When backing up a trailer in tight, power (air assisted) steering is nice to have. It can also be added to an M35A2.

I have seen guys mount civilian hitches on deuces in the past. The key would be to properly fabricate the mount. The truck should pull the boat without a problem. The bed of a deuce is fairly high...not sure what the crane set up would look like, but I guess its possible. A deuce should do...

Without driving your truck, it is hard for me to say with certainty what it could be. You would think these trucks would have more power, but military trucks are notoriously underpowered, with the exception of a few trucks (Freightliners, for one). I have owned two M936A2s. This would...

MICOCHICO, I can't help you, but I noticed you are from Bridgeton, NJ. Did you know Joe Young? We miss him terribly. Great guy, great friend, great military vehicle resource...gone, but not forgotten.

I suppose it is possible that the shift modulator would prevent the transmission from shifting. In my past experience, problems with the shift modulator only affected when the transmission would shift (it shifted either early or late)...but I suppose it could be that the shift modulator gave...

A good friend on here, HALFTRACK, in LA is in the USMC air wing. Great guy...you should contact him. My nephew flies little birds for the Army...just came back from Afghanistan.

First bit of advice...we are not allowed to reference upcoming auctions, although your post is probably borderline. Probably should have said "Looking for someone to inspect at Sparta, WI. Contact me via PM, please." Second, contact Jeff Laumer at 262-227-2967. Good luck.

Sorry...correction...saw the poster beneath you who has the MK48.

It will not be a straight swap. Seeing that you have the MK48, you will have to swap the peripheral stuff off of the existing motor. While I have never done this swap, I believe it would work. However, why would you want it? Just as a spare? I bet you will NEVER have an occasion to use the...

Check the easy stuff first, but it could also mean that your transmission just went. I had a truck that was running and driving fine. Drove it one day and it would not go into reverse. Took it to Allison and they diagnosed it as needing a rebuild. So, I bit the bullet and did it. That was...

Additionally, I have never heard of, nor seen, any M939A2s being used by the USMC. If someone has pictures of them in use, I'd love to see them. The Navy, however, did use the A2s. The Seabees M925A2 that I had did not have lockers, though.

I guess it should not shock me that they will bring the Blazer back since I got an older M105A2 that they shipped back. Yes, the M917s are the dumps. I am close to acquiring an M917A2 and I'd love to see pics of trucks used in Iraq. Thanks!

...yeah, and still be able to outbid Phil! :)

If you ask any guy about their favorite anything, you are going to get a lot of answers. My opinion is you can't go wrong with a brand name filter. I usually trust WIX. I get them either packaged as WIX, NAPA, or CARQUEST. I have used FRAM. I have never noticed any difference and I bet...

Do you have any other pics of armored Freightliners (preferably an M917A2 if I can be picky)? :)

Very cool. I don't see that M1009 getting shipped back.
