Backed my M818 into my garage to check the rear end levels, grease the spring perch pivot and for a picture opportunity. Looks funny in there.

RE: My M818 don
very random...thats exactly what I did today to my 818... went out and cleaned her all out...took all the euc requirement tags off and the demil price tags... regreased everything, top'd all the fluids off, check all lights again and replaced some interior dash lights, fixed the air line coming off the top of the compressor as it had blown itself off, tightened all the hose clamps I could find (man there are a lot hehe) and just checked over everything...too busy to take pics though :-/ so u one up'd me

RE: My M818 don
Most every single hose clamp on mine was loose but there were no leaks anywhere. Lucky. This one didn't need anything but a comete grease job, oil change and coolant change which I did today (coolant). These Cummins contain gallons of fluids!!! Not something serviced every 3000 miles with the current prices of stuff. Everything worked on this truck. One thing I'm glad I checked was the toe-in. It was set at 3/4 inch toe out!! Not good for tire wear. Corrected that and it definitely feels better at speed.

It looks like you are getting ready to move the house.... at least in a couple of the shots, they remind me of the days when I worked for a house moving company prior to going into the Army. Big truck small house... house is moving.

To wreckerman893, the new shop thing was the real purpose of this. Needed to show wife how bad we need a nice shop with an overhead crane that could fit this and all the other VIP toys er trucks we have including HER M37. Didn't work.

You didn't expect to win her over with one sales pitch, did you? Keep trying! I'm sure she will want her M37 in the garage after she spends time working on it and fixing it up! That's when you bring up the subject of a new garage/shop!
