That's an anti-theft device, like noted. Disconnect the ground, no power to system, harder to steal. Flip the switch, full power. I love mine.

Apparently the contract has been awarded to Oshkosh Defense and the new vehicles should have started rolling out in June. Shame they don't auction the LLVs off, be a fun BBC project or big turbo 2.2. I would suggest contacting your local post office and see if maybe they can slip one out the...

Google says post offices scrap them instead of re-selling them.....:(.

These guys beat me to it 😆. The wiring harnesses are sort of generic, in that there's many different M44 variants that use the same harness, so some wires literally DO go to nothing. Those CAD blueprints are your best shot for getting it right. Something worth checking into would be a keyed...

Would there be a way to tell if your truck was a gun truck (other than the obvious enclosure) that was repurposed down the line? I have some "interesting" scarring on my hard top that looks like someone welded a patch in, and more on the bed that looks like someone attempted to turn the hard...

Me to me when the video started: "That snow doesn't look that deep..... How'd they get a grader stuck in it?" Me to me after the turnaround watching the rear axle sink: " Oh 😮" Great stuff!

Merry Christmas everyone! May we all be warm, full and loved!

Not to :deadhorse:, but that trailer is double the weight and length of your rig. For moving around the yard and maybe even around the block, sure, but any faster than 30mph and the trailer has the potential to drag the truck wherever it wants to go. I personally wouldn't haul a 40' trailer with...

It has come to my attention that a friend of my Dad (who oversaw QC at the engine foundry for GM in Saginaw many moons ago) has acquired a mill, and since adapters aren't common anymore , I'm thinking maybe we should try it, if there's enough interest that is. Thinking of starting with Budd to...

Nope. The other morning I had to go open the doors to let a bird OUT of the truck! Must be all those tasty wasps from the summer. Definitely not just you.

Some days you're the glowing diff, some days you're the floppy shaft, all days you ask yourself, "how does this even happen?".

For "light" work and parades it's hard to beat that whistle in a low boost low rpm situation, After the C is spooled and building boost though, it's hard to hear the engine under it, for me anyway. I want to try a D after the inevitable happens and the C quits just to see what "quiet" is like...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m35a2-ldt-465-turbos.221081/ Here's the link for fuzzys post, personal opinion, C turbos are not for the faint of ear, they DO scream.

I haven't seen the exhaust manifold listed here yet, that'll definitely make a tick in step with the rpms if it's leaking.

I have put two Chevrolet 9C1 caprices on rented car hauling trailers, one from U-Haul, and one from a local company, a screw type tilt deck flatbed tandem. Both times behind my brothers 01 Silverado, 6.0, 4l80, 4.10s, and both cars (half the weight of your HMMWV) walked that "little" (6800lb)...

Roughly how much does your sprinter rig weigh? Looks like a couple in the pics drove over the fenders to be loaded, not a big deal if you own the trailer, but I don't think a rental company's going to like that idea much. Could just be an optical illusion.

Here we go again..... I'm glad I'm broke for this one, it'd probably just end up sitting, waiting for parts to fall from the sky 😂. Would make some awesome yard art though

Thank you for saving it!

Oh man...... Check for the gaskets to be reversed 😂. Glad it's running right, bonus now when the spare carb is rebuilt properly, you'll have a good spare
