Thanks for the clarification, Brian. I did a search on TAB on the Ft. Jackson website, but found nothing. Your explanation sounds reasonable.

I have an M925A2 that came out of Ft. Jackson, SC. As you face the truck from the front, the passenger side bumper marking reads TDC FJ. I know this means Tactical Doctrine Command, Ft. Jackson. The driver's side reads TAB 061. Does anyone know what TAB 061 might mean? Thanks!

Did you get that truck from Blake? If so, I've driven that truck. It is a really good runner! That truck really wants to run! Good luck!

I might not have been clear in my post...I was suggesting taking the wheels off of the M109.

On second thought, if the trip is only 100 miles, ante up and pay to have it shipped. Even with fuel prices, how much could it cost? $300 ($3/mile)? $400 ($4/mile)? I'd rather spend $400 than take the time and effort to remove the wheels. Having it shipped will eliminate the risks and...

I've seen them labeled in big black letters...MOGAS. Depending upon the era, the lettering could have been white...I am not certain about the earlier paint schemes.

You could always remove the wheels. That is a lot of work, but you'd guarantee that you won't have a problem. If you take out an overpass, you'll be in for a lot more expense than just losing the deuce. My $.02...

Some sites allow you to start them and some don't. I'd definitely ask first. I will add that I was told by the guys at Chambersburg that they no longer allow people to start the trucks. Apparently, someone who had no clue about the trucks hit the starter with the truck in gear. The truck...

My post should have read..."under the hood of one of my trucks," not on it. Sorry...

Is the front of the heater that is on MILTRUCKMAN's dump made for ducting that would go to an air scoop like those used with the hot water heaters? Also, I've seen two types of fuel burning heaters. The one that is on MILTRUCKMAN's truck and the one in the attached picture. Is one better than...

Check with ACETOMATOE...he had NOS rear wrecker winches.

RE: M816 For Sale Nice looking rig, Jason. Considering I've seen M816s on GL bringing $10K+ (plus the 10% bidder's premium), and those trucks are truly unknowns even if they say RUNS, your price is very fair. Man, $13K (without the tools) for a truck that someone can test drive seems...

I have NEVER received such a letter. I only hear from GL that I have been approved. I have been buying surplus for a decade.

While they will be getting rid of the M939 series trucks at some point...and possibly not at all. I know for a fact that foreign countries are mainly interested in the 900s. I have heard directly from someone who exports to foreign govts with a license to do so that they are ONLY interested in...

Out of all of the M35A3s that have been released over the last few years, I can only remember one truck that was truly in rough shape. If they are just integrating the A3s into the Reserve and National Guard units, why are such cherry trucks coming out? The trucks that came out of PA recently...

Take this for what it is worth...a rumor from a fairly well placed source...but I heard from the same guy that told me about the M35s and related variants being out of the system by early next year, that all of the M809 series trucks will be out of the system by early 2010. I suspect that...

I just got mine. Eric is a great guy to deal with and I am VERY happy with the ladder I got. It was just as he described.

Check with HALFTRACK (Jason)...he's got all kinds of stuff and, if he does not have it, he may know who you should check with. He lives near New Orleans.

The only unknown factor in the equation is how quickly DRMS/GL can liquidate the trucks. Just based on the volume of trucks coming out so far this year, and also based on things such as the last poster's info, I'd say the end is near.

Mike: The larger tires that some guys are putting on their trucks might help your cause a bit. I am not familiar with their use so I can't offer an opinion. Perhaps, JWALLER and RIZZO (among others) can chime in with some of their experiences. I think I've heard of guys running 1400s on a...
