    S250 shelter + M105 trailer

    Does anyone know if the S250 will fit into a M105 trailer with out doing a mod to either one? I have to pick up the shelter I won last Thursday Monday morning and I can't leave it on the gooseneck. I have an orphan M105 that would be a good place to store it (I don't want to set it on the...

    Welding with ear protection?

    I have burn scars all over me from welding and I only do it a little.....the worse thing is to be in a position where you can't move much and get a spatter or piece of slag in a fold of clothing and it ain't going no where....just sitting there and sizzling. Butchering deuces is a tough...

    The Military is starting to scare me...

    I thought that's why military vehicles have the slave ports and slave cables.....pretty much protects the stupid people from themselves.:roll: When I got my last M915 the wires on the starter and the alternator were fried. I actually spoke to the mechanic at the unit it came from in south...

    32000 miles or 132,000 What should clue me in on M1009

    Some vehicles saw a lot of use and some were admin type vehicles that were only used for short supply runs. I saw a lot of hanger queens when I worked in a Divison Headquarters.

    All options needed

    Just about anything with the small kingpin....I have pulled expando vans (you have to have the M915 with the sliding 5th wheel), flat beds, lowboys, tankers and any trailer with a pintle hitch. The M915 has the military 24 volt plugs and the 12 volt civy plugs so you can pull just about any...

    Fort Gordon, Georgia Inspection

    As opposed to buying one of GL's problem children?:roll: Even if you find someone to look at the truck they are not going to be allowed to do more than start the truck and maybe move it back and forth (no driving them around the yard). If one comes up at Redstone I'll be glad to give it the...

    M916 recovery

    You need one....trust me. Even if your state doesn't require it your insurance company might....they specialize in weasling out of claims. If you get into an accident (even if it is not your fault) in a commercial sized rig some trial lawyer will try to convince the other party to sue you. You...

    Secondary Fuel Tank

    Remember the return fuel line.....you need to plumb it to where the tank you are pumping out of is the tank that the excess fuel from the IP is going back to.....otherwise you could be pumping fuel into an already full tank and have a spill. This means two switch valves.....one for primary...

    M916 recovery

    I would have it hauled......I spent a lot of time driving just about anything the Army had with wheels on it (and a few with tracks). You stand a good chance of (A) pulling the guts out of the 5 ton (B) running over some idiot that passes you and then slams on the brakes or pulls out in front...
