I'm also thinking $12-15k.

Rivits are the best solution. Stitching just goes bad again.

I have a hard top on my wrecker in KS. $1200 , come get it. $1600, I'll deliver. It'll be a few weeks. I'm in AZ at the moment. If you have a frame, I think I have a serviceable soft top. The plastic strip is off the front. I'll look when I get back to KS. It'll be a while.

If you get a 936 stuck, it's stuck forever. Keep it on the hard surface and use winch cable to reach the stuck load. Any 5ton with a winch is up to the task. Heavy rear drag winches preferred. None of them are particularly comfortable on extended road trips. 100 miles is entertaining...

Concur. I just drove one KS to IL to NM , dragging a loaded semi trailer. @EricTheHoly may have a take out in the not so distant future.

On the hmmwv's military standard 2 battery system you connect positive to the positive post on the front battery and negative to the negative post on the rear battery (or frame). On the military standard 4 battery setup on 939series trucks, connect the positive to the front left positive post...

Why is this the last one?

$4k-$7k. More if you had a title.

I'm a minimalist. I carry two jacks and a lugwrench, a towbar, and a basic set of tools. Your chase vehicle means you can fetch anything you need. A chase vehicle and an extra person covers pretty much everything. I use 15W40 in everything diesel.

Agreed, and more importantly, they should all be about the same temp.

For the deserts of PA? J/K

Make sure it's fuel and not transmission fluid.

Duramax and Allison (or 4L80). You get an extra gear. Drops cruising RPM to 1700ish. My opinion, the extra gear is worth more than the extra power. My other opinion, it's a lot of trouble and expense to go through for not a whole lot of return. The hmmwv should have had a 4bt from the...

Driving at night has its own set of risks. Driving 25mph slower than everyone else in a vehicle with poorer lights and a color that's difficult to see runs a good chance of getting rear ended. I've done it both ways, and after much consideration I've decided the right lane on the interstate...

Between Kingman and Flagstaff is a bunch of hills. That's going to be a handful in a slower than anticipated deuce, especially with someone not used to the peculiar skillset these trucks demand. He should fill up in Kingman, and fill up again in Seligman to dilute any badness. He may very well...

My conjecture as to the cause of the problem - The truck has been sitting not driven a lot. There's nastiness in the fuel system. He filled it with B20 biodiesel which is an excellent solvent. The B20 sloshed around for 4 hours. This cleaned much of the nastiness off the inside of the tank and...

Mildly. The logistics probably make it cheaper to just have it transported. First off, deuces have a tendency to sometimes behave poorly on towbars. So we run the risk i get there and hook up to it and it won't tow. (And sometimes they tow fine. You don't know til you try.) Secondly, I'm in...

Heat gun = temperature measuring device to check temp of bearings and drums without having to touch them.

These aren't military facilities. The only paperwork they want to see is the release form.

This is no longer relevant. They have two yards, neither is on Post.
