    MUTT engine prices?

    TNJ Murray in Dover, DE had rows upon rows of them. I'd check with John first. I am unsure what he was asking as I was not in the market for an engine when I was there.

    Possibly Forgotten Demil Items?

    I just checked mine. It is an Exeltech XP250. It is a 250W 12V pure sine wave power inverter. Mine was made in July 1998. As I said, it is one of the older ones, although it was unused when I got it. I works very well for my purposes...

    Possibly Forgotten Demil Items?

    Yes. I have one, although mine is one of the older ones. It was intended to run a lap top or something like that. I have charged my phone off of it. I also regularly use it to play music (iPod docking station). They do have a more powerful one. I was told the newer and more powerful one...

    Folding ladder for front bumper ideas.

    There is a military folding step for the front bumper of an M44, M39, or M809 series truck. There are a few on eBay. The step folds up, but comes down probably three times as far as the tailgate step mounted on the front bumper. They are really handy.

    Assessing tire condition- NDT bias tires

    I don't know what it stands for, but I do recall seeing OZ marked on the sidewall of some of my tires. I could have been on all of them. I never checked. I know I have seen it before, though.

    Dodge truck in Norway

    That looks to me to be a WWII truck, although I don't know all the model numbers for that era trucks. It looks extremely clean!

    Ether system troubleshooting

    It generally doesn't get very cold in MD. But, it does get cold on occasion. It was recently in the single digits. I've started my 1998 M1078 (with the 3116) and it always fires up. My 2007 M1085A1 with the C7 is a slower starter, but it always starts, too. I assume (and know) Indiana sees...

    Moving to Russia

    Wierdest thing with buying a car in Russia...and this info is dated by about 15 years since that was the last time I was involved with helping my father in law look into a new car...the new cars at that time did not come with radios! It seemed as though everything was extra. I will say that...

    Moving to Russia

    My father in law had a 1972 and then a 1991 Niva; he gave the 91 to his nephew, and it is still on the road. Not too much change stylistically. Good vehicle. He loved his Niva.

    My trans oil swap to ATF

    My first move when I used to get a truck with an Allison transmission was to take it to Allison for servicing. They would do a fluid swap and check everything out. When I got there, they always asked me if I wanted 15W40 back in. I asked them what they'd recommend and they told me Transynd...

    How many miles on a multi fuel?

    I concur with the other posters. 34K miles would not concern me at all if the truck ran well and was in good shape. What would be of interest to me is the care provided by the current owner. Did the current owner put a decent amount of mileage on it (e.g., they put 5K of the 34K miles on it)...

    How do you make a LMTV NOT suck in the snow?

    I concur. While we don't get these types of snows down in MD, we do get them. I drove my M925A2 through 34 inches or so of snow, and the truck did well. You knew it wasn't summer, but the truck pulled through it all. I was by myself, with no back up to help, so I was worried a bit. I did...
