. Gotta ask... Do you have a preferred spray contact cleaner? I am down to my last can of whatever it is that I bought last time. It might be time to ORDER the good stuff rather than whatever is on the shelf at the local NAPA...

, Well, they aren't twins but they sure are nice looking!

. If you go direct to the battery cables - try searching "24v battery disconnect" - and then possibly mount in a somewhat hidden location.

. Very NICE looking ambulance AAVP7 ! You should enter it in the next MV of the Month Contest. The next one starts on July 1st. Having AC is a plus for sure. Funny how it works. People who work on home cooling are different from vehicle cooling for sure. I mean the concept is the same...

. I don't currently need any, but if you are able to do a Group Buy, I will happily pay $80 for a full set. Actually, I would take four complete sets if you can work that deal (plus some freight of course). If you can get that deal, I paid 4 times that amount for a set - not including the...

. That is neat! Big Red seems have pulled that Enterprise Rental out of a mud hole with no sweat... Pretty good sized trailer too. Maybe everything really is bigger in Texas? Go Man Go!!

. Sometimes a "love tap" on the fastener will help shock it loose. Especially a love tap and pulling on the wrench at the same time...

. Thinking out loud... Have you looked with a meter to see what amperage you might be passing through that switch - BEFORE you cut a wire and install this switch? There have been quite a few problems related to "non-factory" start buttons and switches on MV's in general... Definitely not...

. The LMTV variant would move you forward 20 years in time. Those trucks are a little more commercial than the M939 Series trucks. Meritor Axles, CAT 3126 Power Plants on the A2 and newer versions. Still - a little anemic, but they will move you along down the road. It might be cheaper to...

. Hi altitude EMP really shouldn't impact the older "points and plugs" military trucks. Depending on how much you read, the batteries might get fried too though... The trucks that we know about today are not specifically EMP Shielded to a high degree. Or at least from what I know, that...

. Well Brad, Welcome to the Outfit! It really depends on what you need to carry with you when heading out to repair equipment. You also need to consider what you are working on. It is trucks and logging trailers or are you working on forestry machines and equipment? Having a 5-Ton M931a2...

. NAPA and other places still sell sheets of gasket material. It takes a little effort, but a razor blade and some time will turn that roll of material into usable gaskets. Several of the guys have even used TM book covers as gasket material when there was nothing else. That storage box might...

. Congratulations on your New-To-You truck and Welcome to the Outfit! I do have to say that I'm not from around there. All the same you are now part of a Nationwide - no - make that Worldwide group of folks. We are picture hounds so snap a few shots of your new toy!

. Don't think that the commercial policy means that you have to be "tagged commercial". It seems to be a common thing with insurance companies and larger trucks to be on a commercial policy. DEFINITELY SHOP AROUND. Your personal vehicle insurer could be your guy. On the other hand, if you...

. I was thinking about the plug where you check oil level in the differentials. Be careful. If it has built enough pressure to push oil out through the seals - just a couple of pounds - that fill plug could pop you between the eyes if you loosen it quickly enough.

. Whatever pulls it up the hill either needs to have air or you need the ability to "CAGE" the brakes. Chances are that the wrecker driver will have glad hands on the back of the wrecker that will attach to the two glad hands in front of your M1070. And @simp5782 already offered up that...

. Opinions are like parts that everyone has one of... Sometimes they are valuable. Other times not so much. So, here is mine: Think about it. The truck you have. It has (had) a purpose. Going Fast just isn't part of that purpose. The US Army and the US Marine Corps - just guessing here -...

. I don't think you have done anything that would over-service those differentials. If you are seeping fluid though - I would look at the cheap fix first. What about the axle vents? Have they been looked at? Over on the east coast and down south, we have "dirt daubers" and other flying bugs...

. My guess was that bolting the cab to the frame (edit: with solid blocks of aluminum in place of bushings) would twist doors , possibly pop out glass (hopefully not since they are in rubber casing - but still possible) and other things of similar nature (fuse board, etc). Still would...

. Air hacksaw works fine - so long as you don't buy Harbor Freight saw blades. Long ago, back before they had stores and everything shipped in from Commiefornia I bought some green blades. Can't remember how many but it was a BUNCH of them for almost nothing. Plugged one into my air hacksaw...
