My minty M978 w/w.

I've used Premium Plus, Ultra, and Marquee and end up going with Premium Plus more often than not. The higher you go in the branding/"quality" the more glossy they become. I've had lengthy discussions with my local Behr rep and even the flattest Marquee is still an eggshell (in gloss) in...

M978 HEMTT painted in Behr 383 CARC substitute. Looks good and "pops" with the black rims in contrast.

Looks like a good canned unit. I'm afraid what that cost from MWE.. :eek:

The M10A when it needs to just be out of the way. The M1089A1 when it needs to be somewhere specific. :p

Looking for a member close by that could put some batteries in a deuce and see if she fires up. I just need it running enough to drive on a trailer.

Yes, and it came with the later 2004 year model A1 trucks too.

I've been debating it. Message me if you'd like to talk about it.

To give some insight, most 2005 and some 2006 A1s were upgraded/rebuilt from existing "A0" stock as part of a "buy back" program. A lot of these 2005-06 era trucks with C7 engines aren't A1R status (i.e no coil over suspension, no high pinion diff, etc) but they do have the cab handles, battery...

What's the engine serial? I'm curious if there's any rhyme or reason. Same as I've seen completely black engines before but they were full remans.

It's inside alright.

There's misinformation being given in this thread in regards to flashing. In order to keep the dissemination of knowledge factual I will share info directly from a physical disk CAT authorized flash library with the expanded military/emergency/off-road files. This library was obtained from CAT...

Correct. CAT ET is only a programming tool, it doesn't have the library on it. If you have an active subscription to CAT ET you can pull flash files and check compatibility with the engine which is the focus of the program. CAT does issue physical flash libraries to certain organizations but...

Yes on FML and FMM serial based engines (in FMTVs). I covered this in more detail in a past thread. Good reading. rofl https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/3126-w-abs-vs-3116.212526/post-2487456

Drove a M1088 with these in the cab. No complaints. :beer:

"Resurrected" this M1078A1R that was disabled by one bad ground. :p Did ALL the bushings, fuel lines, tires, and paint. She's mint now and got pep.

It's in California and owned by a movie prop business. That truck was one of a few sold from S&S to foreign buyers that didn't follow through. I bid on the sister donor cab for parts and it too was right hand drive but it was sparse for anything truly usable. I was able to acquire a few other...

I can't say I'm displeased at them going under. My local YRC delivery guy said the writing was on the wall since last October and many of the "lifers" had already begun jumping ship. They've had about a 50% misdelivery or damage rate with my LTL shipments. They're the reason my NOS military air...

I've been selling these handles for years and people have been incredibly creative with them. They are designed for the mounting/dismounting off the rear of LMTVs. I've seen HMMWVs, deuces, and more use them. They could be an "oh $hit" handle on the deuce dash. Food for thought.
