    Automatic Reverse Lights / Alarm

    The M35A3 has reverse lights...but still no alarm. The only trucks, to my knowledge, that have the reverse alarm is the M915 series of trucks. I have limited knowledge of the latest HEMTTs, MTVRs, FMTVs, etc.. They may have it. I mainly was referring to the types of trucks that collectors own.

    LVS MK48 anybody on here get one today?

    If you think you'll get one for $5K, you are mistaken...unless they are parts trucks. If they go for $5K, I am going to own at least two, I can assure you of that.

    Questions about pulling a M919 with a tow bar

    What are you going to tow it with? My reco is to use a truck that is at least as heavy as the M919...and try to hook up the brakes.

    Which 900 series do you like best?

    Very sorry to hear about that. I actually bid on that truck, but got out way before you won it (we were not really bidding against each other). Sad to see her get cut up...but it is the buyer's right since he will have paid the price for it.

    Which 900 series do you like best?

    Richard, to fill the air on the front tires, there is a valve exposed through the rock shield. This will allow you to top off the air. Be advised that your CTIS may not like it if you overinflate your tires. One time, I inflated my tires to something higher than the CTIS calls for (the CTIS...

    Armored URAL?

    I have wanted an URAL for some time...but, an armored URAL, man, that would be awesome. I found a few nice ones in Europe (England, mainly), but have not wanted to deal with the hassles of getting it shipped to the US.

    5Ton Dump super singles?

    Yes, you and FLORIDIANSON are correct. There is nothing wrong with using the HEMTT rims. They tend to be more plentiful and are usually a bit cheaper...but you can find nice 1400s on the correct rims for in the range of $300-400. I have bought many from John Winslow in NC.

    5Ton Dump super singles?

    I recommend you go with the 1400s and the correct rims.

    Any one from fl heading north some time soon?

    I am not sure of this, but I was just told that the trucker is going to grab my truck tomorrow so this may not work (literally just heard from the broker). I am sorry for getting your hopes up. With that said, we have had several other false-starts where we were planning to get the truck out...

    Just bought a MTV M1094 LVAD

    I have seen regular cabs come out on GL. You could always wait for one. To me, what makes that truck really cool (besides the rarity and the fact that it is a dump...I LOVE dumps) IS the fact that it is the rare airborne version. When I saw it, I did not see anything that could not be fixed...

    Any one from fl heading north some time soon?

    If someone could get them to JWALLER's place, they are welcome to ride for free to MD in a truck that I have sitting at his place. From there, MONKEYBOYARMY travels from VA to OH and back regularly. It might be easier to take baby steps rather than swing for a homerun getting it that far...

    all green now. : )

    Very cool. I have a 4 color MERDC M151A2, but I, too, love the semi-gloss. Great job.

    Just bought a MTV M1094 LVAD

    Agreed with a couple of other posters...don't bob it. That is a RARE truck. I was offered that by Winslow a year or so ago and almost bought it, but could not get the nerve up. I've been involved with a few too many projects where parts are scarce and could not stomach this rebuild. The...

    M939 v.s. M813 Front Lift Shackle

    They should be. I bought some of the front lifting shackles directly from the guy who bought out BMY Harsco (maker of the M939A2 series) and they fit deuces, M809 series, as well as the M939 series. I think the actual shackle is identical on those trucks...although there is an older and a...

    5 Ton Bridge Truck?!?

    A guy responded to your classified ad and said he is interested. He left his phone number. I am guessing you already saw that, but...just in case...I am letting you know.

    Made a mistake

    More water accumulates in a tank due to condensation from natural temperature changes than probably entered the tank through frost. I concur with the other posters. I would also suggest adding a whole bottle (the big bottle, 64 oz., I believe) of Power Service diesel fuel conditioner. It...

    M35A3 Fording

    I almost wonder if the boat was there FOR safety...as in the kids could jump in it if the driver got in a bit too far. Someone else mentioned this, but how could he possibly have enough faith that the water would not drop off in spots or there were no tree stumps, rocks, etc. I enjoyed watching...

    Where to get parts for the M-101A2

    CUCVFAN has the crank up landing legs with handles. Send him a PM. I got one from him and was very happy.
