$100ish each. Your potential market is the guy who wants his 5ton period correct...

Is the goal to recover the numbers? If so, I'd lightly sand until they're visible. Is the goal to just get rid of the black and make it all tan? A rattlecan of tan paint will provide acceptable results.

I find myself in the unusual position of disagreeing with WillWagner. Running thimbles alone is generally a bad idea. Here's why- They weren't designed to be used by themselves and require the outer lug nuts as reinforcement to have the neccessary strength. The above implies that you could...

Mine has a low oil pressure shutdown feature on it. Mine isnt identical to yours.

When?

The important height measurement is the height of the top of the fuel in the barrel compared to the height of the first place it can leak out of the receiving tank.

Let me emphasize and clarify what I think you're really asking: "when filling with the aux pump and the pump shuts off, is the pump sealed against passive flow of diesel past it?" Given that your 30 gallon drum is higher than your genset, the aux pump will serve to prime the line and get fuel...

Is your barrel higher than the fuel tank?

Caution is warranted when turning up the fuel. Doing so means the engine is no longer idiot-proof. It becomes easy to melt the pistons, most especially on long steep hills with a load.

Does it fire on ether?

Have you replaced the fuel lines? I have on multiple occasions seen these drash units with fuel lines that look just fine that are actually porous and allow it to suck air.

What about brakes?

Not at all. It doesn't have quite the same power either. The 8.3 actually makes a bit more torque and a bit less horsepower. Thing is, it makes its power later in the rpm range. My experience is the 8.3 will hold speed better if you hit a hill already at speed, but taking off on a hill or...

M923A2 and M936A2 are the same running gear and the same wheelbase. The wrecker has PTOs on tcase and transmission that may be an issue.

Will the isuzu engine in the DHS drash trailer physically fit and bolt up to the gen head in the Applied Companies drash-type trailer? I have one of the Applied Companies trailers with a bad Perkins engine. I found a DHS trailer with an INOP generator. I'm tempted to grab the INOP genset if I...

No locks on either type of door unless you add them. Securing one of these against break in isnt really feasible.

The CARC that is faded but intact is probably a better rustproofing than anything you can do to it....

No, they wont confiscate. They'll just revoke your plates and send you a letter. Their ban isn't on possession. The ban is on operation. Paraphrased " you can have it. You just can't drive it on the roads." Enforcement will be spotty and patchy.

Looks like you have a law in MD specifically prohibiting all MV's - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/all-military-vehicles-banned-from-road-in-maryland.193109/

Example #1 - my pickup truck is a ram 3500. It takes two batteries although its 12v. Two sets of jumper cables and the batteries disconnected from the pickup truck. One set of cables to each of the 12v sides of the 24v vehicle. Example #2 - two 12v vehicles and two sets of jumper cables. One...
