Can you do a title only transfer with no on highway registration to get yourself out of the penalty box while you figure out the emission issue? Can you present the decal from a 1977 vehicle with a 318 other that a 880? Might be on the valve cover, find a junkyard engine and swap the valve...

I did not know this. Do we need to exercise our PRCs from time to time?

The D343 might be very close to the same as what is in a similar era civilian 988 loader or 651 scraper, maybe Cat can help with parts for those machines. Do understand that Cat will have very limited availability of parts for 1960's machines, they want you to buy a new tractor!

Back when the 880s came out, there were a TON of warranty issues that the Dodge dealers had to sort out. The dealerships would have received these books since they would not have the military TMs.

Do you have a LVS or a HEMTT?

Need to feed the emergency gladhand with 120 psi. Or remove the wet tank drain valve and attach a quick coupler.

Chain saw, pike poles, ropes, tow chains, life rings, pfd's, a 24-12 volt converter for handheld radio charging base and also cig lighter sockets to plug in phone chargers, towels to wipe the inside of the windshield constantly

Truck looks great. Add to you list of things to do: the rear bows and vinyl top (to keep everyone out of the driving rain) and boarding stairs of some kind. This last item is critical as many of your evacuees will be incapable of climbing up the tailgate or even climbing a ladder. Then what...

You have been given good advice. Same here, I oversee three hw trucks for my department as well. Before Hurricane season starts, I typically start driving the trucks weekly to make sure everything is in good shape. Make sure all post-fording maintenance has been done since last swimming so...

Sometimes insects build mud nests inside the glad hands or way up in the coiled hoses.

Is your battery good?

The only parts I see that are GMC are the axles. Maybe the bilge pump. So military manuals are of limited or no use. Looks like a 80's GM 6.2 for power.

He might be right, the wheels on that trailer are the same as GMC CCKW, the lock ring is not split, you have to kinda manipulate it just right to get it to come off the rim. This style rim went away eons ago, even truck tire shops that do lock ring wheels will be mystified.

Your trailer is a 70 year old relic from WWII. Commonly called the “Ben Hur 1 ton”, it was manufactured by dozens of companies during the war (see picture). As far as your wheel situation, the Army bought a similar trailer in the 90s equipped with 22.5 tubeless tires and rims. These can be...

Eh I would personally prefer the Ibis Tek. Who has time to rig up cables on the side of the interstate? Call SECO and have them send you one.

Rule of thumb: If someone relies on youtube checks to put food on their table, they will generate any BS they can to get clicks.

Ibis Tek is the way to go, much lighter and compact then the steel medium tb.

Entire inside is supposed to be seafoam green FS 24533

I think he has a M54A2C with dropside bed. M39 is the series but you know that.

Wes (simp5782) might be having a bad day. The HET can function as a water tender, don't worry. He is right though about the 1070 being kinda a piece of crap. They have the DDEC electronic control which probably should have never been put on a 1930's design engine. Engine access is awful...
