    5 ton questions help a newbie out

    I hate to be the voice of doom and gloom.... but I strongly suspect California is going to want you to have a class B CDL for that. Heavy enough to trigger the requirement, and too new to fall into the exemption. (But then again i seem to remember you drive for a living, so you probably...

    M942 year of manufacture?

    A0 truck on G177s. 1986 started A1 trucks with super singles and some other subtle differences. Conceivably 1984, but unlikely. Almost certainly went through reset about 2007, so it may have an engine dated 2007 or so. But it'd be all but impossible to prove the frame wasn't manufactured in...

    Are 16.5” rubbers really that bad?

    39.5x13.5R16.5 isn't close enough?

    painting over carc

    You're posting about a hmmwv in the 5ton forum... so you're likely to get answers specific to 5ton trucks. My experience in painting over CARC is that CARC is tough as nails and provides rust and abrasion resistance, while the overcoat of lesser paint provides cosmetic appeal. This has been my...

    painting over carc

    I've painted over CARC on 5ton trucks with good results. Just a good wash with green scrub pads. HMMWV is a little different though... but I'd guess it'd still be just fine.

    So just bought a M818

    I have two 818's and four NOS 105 beds. That looks like something I should look into.... did you post specs on the modifications to the bed? (I'm assuming kingpin on a plate, but what else?)

    Are 16.5” rubbers really that bad?

    Basically someday i want 40’s on my humvee and I’m just pondering the correct path to get there. You provoked me to go read and learn. The conclusions I drew were that if I were going to change wheels, or use tires sourced from somewhere besides milsurp, I'd go with something besides 16.5"...

    Are 16.5” rubbers really that bad?

    My understanding is that all the x.5" sizes are heavier duty than their x.0" size counterparts.

    M105; Questions about my first recovery

    I've done it by myself, without tools. A far better option is a farm jack.

    M105 on a M1028, has anyone one done that?

    M105 on a M1028, has anyone one done that?

    M105 bed weight is 800-1000lbs. I've seen the deuce bed on a pickup. It was at the Phoenix show a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly it was cut down to about 9'. Looked reasonably proportionate.

    M105 on a M1028, has anyone one done that?

    I literally just dragged this nice one from AZ to OK three days ago. I screamed it for sale for months and no takers. I would have happily made that trade.... I have four new in the crate 105 beds in OKC. Transport probably kills it.... I like the idea of the 105 bed on a pickup. As to the...

    WMO in CUCV

    And a lot of the abrasive grit in WMO is smaller than 2 micron. This leads me to conclude that filtration is insufficient and WMO would need to be centrifuged to be safely usable. Hardly seems worth the effort for small scale....

    5ton, 3 axle, truck tractor, super singles, CTIS, 1991. Given those parameters it can only be an M931A2.

    Newly purchased an M35A2 - trailer/towbar? Houston Area

    This is NOT ok, except for emergency or just moving it around a field.
