Hey guys I am requesting an assist in locating a radiator for my M977 Hemtt, I have an email into Eastern Surplus no reply back yet but I am also looking for some alternatives in case they come back with a negative answer. Do you guys have any suggestions on where one of these may be available...

Congratulations that truck is a Beauty for sure!

It has been my experience that the NA 6.2 is NOT what I would any near call a powerful engine obviously the gear ratio in effect has been changed with your tires diameter your speed will increase but your load on the engine will also increase if anything you more than likely hurt your towing...

Congrats on the new truck it looks to be a nice one and to second what was said prior the TMs are the lifeline between us and our trucks! Good luck and enjoy!

Congrats you picked a good truck to start with. Teh 800 series trucks are simple to work on the 250 Cummins is a very reliable solid engine and if its in good shape will provide good service for as long as you will need it. One thing I will tell you is that a set of manuals for this truck...

If I were in your shoes and you dont want this truck to be the new most beautiful Deuce in the country is replace the doors, I would talk to Deuceman51 on this site. I would pull the fenders off the truck and get them fixed, dents, rust etc if you can do this yourself all the better. I would...

I dont have anything to help you with on the Ford/Marmon everything I have used and have experience is the SnoGo on OshKosh trucks with a smaller Cummins up front and a Straight 8 CAT in the rear fuel capacity of these things has to be around 500 gallons but with that said they can move extreme...

Sharecropper I run 3 855 series Cummins in military trucks another 855 in a semi for hauling been, a Unimog and an OshKosh snow plow and thats got a CAT engine in it. I have run Rotella 15 40 in everything for years now and have never had a single regret with it, except that I seem to be buying...

Ben your pics certainly got my vote! I am glad your one of us!!!

Very nicely done! This truck should provide many years of exceptional service for you! Again Well Done! Karl

When you getting white smoke out of the stack is this after the truck is fully warmed up and you have been driving it for awhile? White smoke out of a fully warmed up engine is a little questionable, I would sure have a look in the radiator at the coolant to see if by chance you have any funny...

Good looking Deuce and you will have fun with it. As was mentioned earlier I cannot suggest strongly enough that a complete set of maintenance and operators manual will go miles towards your enjoyment of the truck. You got a beauty the opp manuals will fill you in everything ever written about...

Rust in these vehicles has been an ongoing problem since day one, a heck of a lot more have been put to rest because of rust as opposed to wearing them out, they do go on forever but the bodies NOT!! The suggestion above are the best you can buy the panels pretty cheap they are easy to take off...

Gosh I live such a sheltered life, I had never heard of any of these problems 155 your RV looks beautiful to me and to use the reason "its to old" you gotta be kidding me? Sometimes I am grateful to live in ND (NOT RIGHT NOW, we are supposed to drop 50 degrees tomorrow night) In ND I would...

Sand it or angle grind it down to bare metal then a good etching primer maybe 4 light coats then paint.

I think you you pull your off you can look at how many wires are coming into it, and then just buy one of from the many different companies who build them. To my knowledge the military ones have never been anything special or unique. Karl

When ever somebody posts that DAF video I HAVE TO WATCH IT again! I did not realize that DAF produced so many different trucks and knew nothing about the APC. The trucks look fairly conventional except that drive system I have never seen one such as that, not sure if its a good idea or not...

I have seen this on vehicles that have sat outdoors for long periods of time between the sun and the rain its bound to happen. The only real way to clean this up long term is to pull the weather stripping off so you are able to totally see what your dealing with, POR 15 is a good product and...

Mark your 712 looks beautiful and the trailer just adds to it! I tried so darned hard to find a 712 in the US and after about 6 month of looking I finally found a fellow in FL that had and ambulance 712 and I had seen it sold then not sold then sold again and finally I called him he was asking...

Jon there is something in there I cant tell you if its bad or not but I would be willing to bet that if you change it now and again this coming fall that will take care of it and would also bet there will be no ill effects to the hubs! Karl
