    M923A2 came home with me today!

    Good luck. I had alot of fun driving them in between unexploded ordinance in the middle of the night in Iraq. I especially loved the fact that the brakes would lock up most of the time towing the 15,000 lbs howitzer. Does yours have the ABS upgrade? I also love the Navy markings. This really...

    Question on SF97's

    Alan, Most states required a title to be supplied with a vehicle being sold. In most states they are conducting business contrary to the law but it would take someone taking the time and expense to actually sue them or convince the state attorny general to prosecute them. By them having a...

    Question on SF97's

    Chris, Most states have a vin inspection form. They will only do it on the form used by the licensing authority for the state. In Michigan it is a Secretary of State form TR-54. Your local PD should be able to tell you what form or you could check with the people you go get your plates from...

    No CDL/Antique plates- Driving to other states.

    Re: RE: Re: RE: No CDL/Antique plates- Driving to other sta Believe me we can see the 1" square. My wife wonders how I can drive down the road holding a conversation and still find an expired plate in the other lane. I gets to be second nature.

    5 Ton wrecker bed question

    Some of the specialized trucks have the pockets to put a bows and canvas on to camouflage the truck in a convoy and such. Make it look like a regular cargo truck and it is less likely to attract more than its share of fire. I know you can put bows and canvas on the tankers and the shop vans. The...

    No CDL/Antique plates- Driving to other states.

    As long as you are following your states laws and your truck is legal when on the road in you own state, you will be just fine in other states.

    M923A2 came home with me today!

    I know I am late to this subject but the drop bed you have was the bed we had on all of our 900 series five tons in the late 80's early 90's in the Army so it is not a navy thing. I never saw ISO beds when I was in and I got out in 1993.

    Broadway Title question

    The title is the title. The registration tells whether it is to be used as an antique vehicle or a commercial vehicle. The title should be the same no matter what. Only the registration and plates change. The new owner can register it anyway he wants. He doe not have to stick to an antique...

    No start M1008

    Check all the belt driven accessories to see if any are dragging or seizing. Loosen the belts and try to turn them by hand. If you can get the belts out of the way, try to start it without the accessories attached by the belts. Do not leave it running. The waterpump will not be circulating and...

    Broadway Title question

    The SF-97 is a document used by the federal government to let the states know that the vehicle was legally released form government service. It is like a statement of origin for a trailer. The federal vehicles have never been titled and the SF-97 explains why a 1969 Kaiser Jeep has never been...

    Bad connection at the battery for sure. Check the cables and clean the connectors and try again. The bad connection may be hampering the glow plugs by not giving them the juice they need.
