    Found a 5 ton gasser.

    When you actually see/hear it run/move then it runs/moves. Until then it's a pile of scrap metal.

    M35A2 vs FMTV videos

    The cab would still be an antique tiny, uncomfortable and egonomic disaster (see also M35A3). The whining over the oldies vs new equipment is nothing compared to the fire service debate over the antiques vs whippersnappers with the change to multipled electrical systems, PHD pump controls...

    M35A2 vs FMTV videos

    You're partly correct. Urea is BS and is going to bite the fire service in the butt. We keep new trucks in service for 30years and the new SCR systems are going to be red headed orphans way before then. IH is staying with EGR (though modified) to meet the new 2010 EPA BS. Regarding...

    ?why does a m816 have canvas stake holders

    Central assumption in Europe was that USAF/NATO was going on maintain at least parity with the commies. ADA would keep any other Red air leakers occupied. DOD never really had an understanding or plan for handling the 5th column we would have faced during a general war in Europe. The...

    ?why does a m816 have canvas stake holders

    In NATO the threat from Special Ops/Fifth Column to US troops was greater than the threat form Red air. Ambush on log. column being a major objective. Particular interest in fuel supplies (pipeline, bulk tanker or TPU). Cut fuel supplies and armor become pillbox in less than 24hr...

    M1022 dolly capacity

    I can't get your photo to open but it looks like you're pulling a high cube container. High cube are 9'6". Std height ISO box is 8'6" which are supposed be what a M1022 is designed for (of any length). Backing a full trailer is a PITA. I guess farm boys can do so (as grain wagon).

    M1022 dolly capacity

    If you're creative can do a lot with the dollys. Used a 5T for a trailer for a 200kw MEP009A genset. 4" square tube welded between the sections. On site can drop the genset oon the ground for operation/maint (OK 4" above ground). Handy no vibration and CHEAP. Anyone figured out if the...

    I wonder why they pulled all the m35a2s

    Why EUC?

    I'll bet you the cost to DOD of have the mil security people process an EUC in at leat $200. For a trailer govliq sells for $250 and which is no more "dangerous" to peace than one you buy down at Home Depot.
