@Taborljoshua Dave just sent it to me in .pdf form.

I'll PM you my email and mailing address for any correspondence.

That's a great, interim repair. The more I read about CHICOM garbage axles, the more I want to preserve my originals. This will help keep the dirt out until they can be serviced.

Ok, time to de-bunk this. What you're stating is a partial truth. Yes, AM Gen did push an Off-Road Use Only restriction, but not because the vehicles are unsafe. It's a ploy to protect their market. The US Army made a bad deal with DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) at the behest of AM Gen to...

That's a good question. I'll contact Mr. Demorrow and see how we can get copies of this. It doesn't easily populate when Google'd.

What's in the packet? I haven't received one.

I have a complete set of fiberglass troop seats for a DROP SIDE 5-ton in excellent condition. I would like to trade for a set of NON drop-side troop seats. I *think* have someone willing to transport the troop seats who will attend this show. The uprights for the drop-side troop seats are in...

I have secured a set of troop seats, so I'll be able to carry a load of veterans. The troop seats require modification. I will either swap these seats for the exact-fit part or I will make the necessary modifications. Either way, I'll be ready.

Took my truck on a refuel run. I filled the truck and all of my fuel cans. The truck hadn't moved in a couple of weeks and the temperature had got down into the 20's. Man, those NDCC's get some flat spots in cold weather. I had a nice thumping at low speeds for the first few miles. I verified...

More pictures please? Just from the bit I can see, your truck looks super clean.

@bigmike @Russ Knight The MVPA (Kevin Lockwood) isn't doing a single thing. In fact, he is deliberately sabotaging efforts to get FMVs newer than WWII/Korea on the roads. If you email or call him, he'll flat-out deny it. He acts sympathetic but it's totally false. Kevin Lockwood stabbed...

"The woman" is 100% wrong or lying. The Federal Government has deemed no such thing, not even for HMMWVs. MIL-STD-1108B is the military counterpart to the FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards). Yes, some states are having difficulties but not because military vehicles are not "road...

Mine is a 998 built sometime between 85-92 based on some of the body bits. It was re-engined with a 6.5l in 2002, and assigned a new serial num ber for 2002. Your truck seems to be a similar case. You may never know exactly when it was built.

I just realized that you could use the throttle lock T-handle under the steering wheel to force the engine to rev up without a Soldier B.

Take the doghouse off and open the hood. Have a helper increase the throttle until you can hear the noise. Walk around the vehicle and attempt to pinpoint the sound. Idler pulley bearing sounds like as good a candidate as any, or any belt-driven appurtenance such as alternator or p/s pump.

Fantastic. This is just what I was hoping for. I think hitting the brake is instinctive. I'll have to work hard to fight that impulse. :)

I apologize. I thought this bill passed in California, not Colorado. Please disregard. I posted it in the wrong thread.
