    Keyed ignition switch for HEMTT

    Have any of you HEMTT/MK48/PLS owners ever converted to a keyed ignition switch? If so where did you get the switch and what was the part number. I want to do it but am having a little trouble trying to locate a switch the has the proper number of terminals on the back. This is what they...

    What are your experiences with GovPlanet?? Good or Bad

    My problems have always been in getting SF97/titles. I have had 3 times the paperwork had incorrect S/Ns on them and the wait times for the paperwork is a it rediculess. I waited almost 3 months for an SF97 on my last truck and am now waiting for one on an M146 trailer.

    AM General gets large contract

    I prefer my M985 HEMTT that was acquired in 1987 for a per truck contract cost of $361,629.00. I got it at a substantial discount. This does not include the 2001 Oshkosh "0" reset overhaul or the 2009 RSMS overhaul. Rest was probably in the $250,000.00 range if not higher and the RSMS was...

    Loose 939 spring mounts! Scary find!

    My friends M923 had all 3 bolts broken off of the front perch of the right front spring and had shifted back about 2 inches. He drove it from Bakersfield that way not knowing.

    Long cable coming out top left rear of transfer case, what is it?

    The speedo cable goes into the transfer case on all 4wd vehicles I have ever worked on. They need to read the output rotation at final drive. As most transfer cases are 2 speed the reading needs to come from the output of the transfer case. Does your speedometer work? Disconnect the cable, if...

    Good to know. Thanks.

    MEP-16D Oil Change

    The 15W40 is what you want in a diesel. It will take 1.1 quarts. I don't think there is an oil filter but there is an air filter which is probably fine at 12 hours.

    Sounds like you are describing the speedometer cable.

    MK48 wheels

    What ones are you looking at? 20" or 21"? I have seen the 3 piece split rim style in 20" but they are rare and the 21" will make finding good used rubber very difficult. The best bet for you is the HEMTT 20" combat wheels as they are plentiful.

    Generator trailers

    Not a bad price, but a bit of overkill for a MEP003.

    Trailer recommendations for FLU419

    You may want to see what the towing capacities of the SEE are first. I would say by you description for needs on a trailer you a going to want to find the M1061 as you mentioned.

    Question about a "kinda threating" form received in the mail

    If you have received that letter your EUC has likely cleared.

    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    Not yet, but it may be a thought just to irritate the repo boys. LOL

    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    Oh for heck sake. I didn't buy from Uncle Sam. So I'll just make a deal to not pay taxes or they can trade me for some other 5 tons or something because I didn't pay bid cost, I bought private and the bidder made money. So welcome to "LET'S MAKE A DEAL." If I can recover my costs they can have...

    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    I think if you already have a title/SF97 that means they are withholding private property and that is a different set of laws. Just sayin'.

    What have you done to your HEMTT/PLS/MK48 this week

    Dismantling it and hiding all the pieces until this return stuff blows over. LOLrofl

    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    So what's the story concerning the trucks not being released to owners that won bids, got EUCs cleared and have release papers? I have spoken to 2.
