OK all- found this in a discussion on FB. Being as my truck has a winch, I would like to eventually acquire one of these for accuracy. (And it's cool af!) Does anyone have a lead on a source? Apparently they were used for winch operations at night to reduce "white light" noise during winching...

All, I know for a fact I am going to need a new coil for my '52. Im looking around the web and see this one, but want to make sure it's the correct coil for my truck. Please bear with me as I'm completely new to this truck and have never replaced a coil on an MV. I know they're supposed to...

OK all- Im offshore and couldn't get pics, so my sweet lady went today (after working a 16 hour shift! 😳), cleared weeds away and took pics for me. If you happen to see something cool/rare or interesting that jumps out at you, feel free to point it out. I am a TOTAL NOOB with this truck and...

Does anyone have a copy of this they would part with? Or a PDF copy? Thanks in advance...

Ok all- Into the Power Wagon breach for me... First, a little history.... My first dream vehicle as a kid wasn't the "Army Jeep" like most kids. I saw a M37, but had no idea what it was. It wasn't until years later when I saw another one and asked about it that I learned the designation...

OK all- Once again offshore and thinking about things I need to fix on the 5 ton. My fuel gauge isn't working, and I know it's because the Packard connector to the gauge is disconnected. (Well, there's a Packard connector marked "28" anyway. I'm not sure if it goes from the gauge to the...

OK all- I had a situation last week where my "unloader valve" got stuck in open(?) position and I had to whack my air compressor with a hammer to close(?) it. For those who don't know, it's located under the injection pump on the driver's side of the engine. Here are my questions: 1. What is...

So today I took the 5 ton to Mamou, Louisiana for some fun in the mud.... She ended up working pulling people out almost more than just having fun... Anyway... on my way home I lost all air.... on the side of the road @fuzzytoaster and @charlesmann came through with some troushooting...

We had a local parade and everyone had a ball! Decorating: Loaded and ready to go! Very important to have a competent A-driver! Someone is all paraded out!

All- It just occurred to me to make sure I have a spare serpentine belt. After checking the 5 ton parts list, it isn't listed. Does anyone have a crossover number for NAPA, O'Reillys etc?

So, I posted pics of my 5 ton on a local truck club fb page and gave a little history of the truck (that it belonged to a combat support hospital.) A local man messaged me and asked which unit, so I sent him pics of the front bumper. He was in that unit with my truck! He just came by and...

Ok- so I swapped to the civvy alternator for my 5 ton that is offered to us by @74M35A2 Installed correctly (I believe) but am having issues. I made sure when I installed the belt was tight, so that isn't the issue. With the truck running, I am showing 29vdc from the positive post of the...

All- I found this for sale and will be picking it up this week: My question: Where on a 5 ton would it be mounted? If not on a 5 ton itself, what about on a M105A2? Thanks!

Question: I have a local who has 4 Michelin 395/85/20s that are in great shape, about 8 years old and wants 325 a tire for them (wheels are included but I'll be using my stock rims). The question I have: Can I run the 4 new tires on the drive wheels and take my two best and put them as steer...

All- On a whim, I bought an antenna for my M923A2 5 ton, mounted it on the fender and LOVE the way it looks... However.... Now I feel I need a radio...... Any ideas on what I need and where to start? BTW, please talk to me about these like I have zero idea what you're talking about...

All- A local man advertised some tires for sale on FB. I drove over to check them out and was going to pull the trigger, but being as I use my 5 ton at highway speeds, the age of the tires gave me anxiety. They range from late 01- late 05 I know you guys are more offroad and low speed, so I...

Or "Adventures with Bertha". So today I loaded up and went about 150 miles to the "Veterans for Veterans" benefit car show. Up at 0300 to pretrip the truck... checking the lights, I realize one is "high beam" and one is "low beam". After grumbling and cussing, I open the hood and correct the...

I ran into a Marine buddy of mine at the last car show I went to and he told me he had a fuel can for me... I picked it up and it was rusted pretty badly. My kid Jak asked if he could do the resto on it and I gladly said yes. I'm all about helping stoke his passion for the hobby... So...

So... I was wondering what to do with the M105 I had gotten when I bought the 5 ton.... It sat in my back yard being neglected for about 7 months and I decided to turn it into a mini-camper.... I had started looking for stakes, bows and a cargo cover when I saw this on Eastern Surplus'...
