. Bookends... Heck, these young'uns today don't know what a book is. They do it all on their smart phone. Thinking that "the smarts" all ran out of that hole in the side of their heads. They definitely don't need bookends!

. Nice that you were able to find a "stock part" that will do the job!

. Nicely said @coachgeo !

. It isn't like the "spastic" controller that comes in the truck by default. This one by @Plasa is programmable.

. Air Ride switch to the off position might be good. You could also lock the cab in the down position at the air bags. I would think that the TM would have instructions in the "-10" but I couldn't swear to that.

. Don't believe any of them would pass. It wasn't part of the specifications. Notice too that when you are ripping down the highway and overtake a military convoy - they are riding on the same roads that you do. They don't have to comply and don't care.

. Nice Trailer! So, now you have to build another motorcycle. I mean after all, you made two spots for two bikes. Trailer is definitely sharp!

. I don't own one - but if you have a battery box top - you might find a wiring diagram inside the "lid" (top).

. Found a posting by Eastern Surplus 2-Wheel. 2.5 Ton. 10R22.5 Tires. Air over Hydraulic Brakes. Overall Dimensions - 162.5" Inches L x 89" Inches W x 40" Inches H. Empty Weight - 2,015 Lbs. Payload - 5,000 Lbs. GVW - 7,015 Lbs. TM is attached below in PDF. That matches the 89 inch width...

. That part of the discussion was almost at the end of the article - and it really helped it all make sense to me. And the talk about rails joining at bridges - that thought never really crossed my mind until reading. That mass of concrete for the bridge abutment and rail joining it where some...

. Down beside the emergency brake, kinda behind it. There is a small ground source. It tends to need to be cleaned after about 30 years ;-)

. The military version of the radios seem to be powered directly from the battery box. May not have anything to do with your problem - but what if - the difference in your case is Grounding?

. So... I keep looking and I haven't found any hard evidence of required annual replacement of air brake diaphragms. For many years, I worked on a small fleet of trucks that dragged trailers. Those trailers hauled military vehicles used to build steel high lines. Basically we built electric...

. But that locomotive is hot. It makes a lot of noise. It bumps and thumps and the wheels go clickety-clack down the rails. I can't watch my videos with all that noise. Is it all push button controls? I can't possibly be expected to have to drive that train all day... Did you say there is...

. She will love you for it - when the power goes out at your house! :)

. Maybe get a running start, then dive in, Sit Up and Drive :cool: Easier than carrying a ladder...

. @4x4nutz , The most difficult thing about the TM's is learning the nomenclature. These books are not going to keep you awake if you try to sit down and try to read them from cover to cover. I started out with a M936. It's a 5-Ton wrecker. Nothing special, just a big green truck... I...

. Not a lot of folks are willing to say that the Army (Navy, Marines, or even the Air Force) spoiled them. Exception to that is food in the Navy. Coffee always on. No lack of good food.

. It would benefit you and the truck to "rotate the batteries" maybe twice a year. I'm concerned that maybe you have a weak cell in the 11.9 battery. Might be worth taking them both out and go to your local Auto Zone, Pep Boys, or whatever parts house and have them load test your batteries...

. USMC trucks, M939 Series in particular that are to be used in the salt water look like the entire bottom of the truck was sprayed with silicone. Like RTV sprayed on every bolt and connection. Sea Bees vehicles are the same way... It is a miserable existence trying to replace a transfer case...
