RE: Re: Here I believe I found the problem. Disconnected cab ground strap. When I was reinstalling the air horn under the cab I found the cab to chassis ground was disconnected. After hooking it back up I tried out the headlight switch - no start! Just the way it's supposed to. After...

The HEMTT is pretty nice stock, but I'm not opposed to making some improvements alon g the way. I think I'm going to return it to a like-new condition first, and then I'll make some improvements along the way. I think it could definitely use a winch on the front. The stock HEMTT winch...

He made the payment within minuted of the end of the auction. It's a little less then I hoped for, but I think its a fair price. I'm mainly just happy that I can move on to focus on my HEMTT now, and I've got some money in my pocket to do so. I guess I have to buckle down and get started now ;)

Never mind - I found it. If this company isn't the OEM supplier, then their product is EXACTLY the same as the OEM's. http://www.cabinsulation.com/index.htm (but you guys should all still bid on the 5-ton!)

I am thinking that I will go ahead and sandblast the inside and out of the cab on my M977, but before I go scrape out the foam/perforated vinyl insulation lining the interior I want to make sure I have a good source for more of it. It's approx 1/2" thick foam with a perforated black grained...

Yes, whether the key is turned on or off, in the ignition or not, if I turn the light switch to headlamps on, the truck engine fires up. I can't tell if it's holding the starter on or not, since I shut it down as soon as it does it. Yes, I realize it didn't come from Oshkosh with a keyed...

I discovered this yesterday while messing with the light switch and scared the bejesus out of myself! When I switch the main headlight switch all the way on - the engine starts! Whether the key is switched on or not. I'm thinking someone accidentally got a wire crossed when they wired in the...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200106870107 Everybody cross your fingers!!! I really hate to see it go, but I hope the next guy that gets it enjoyed it as much as I did. Thanks for all the great compliments I've gotten from you guys about it. I hope you like...

Here we go again.... The famous rub or no rub issue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iraPQW0_gLQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV_07EGI9FU I put 16-20 XL's on my M813A1 and never had any rubbing at all. It's close, but no touching at all. I have since twisted the truck up pretty severely...

I drove it off the truck - but the smaller gal did all the hard work. I felt kinda bad letting her do the heavy stuff, but I learned this working with the women at my work - to help is an insult to their capability. She did just fine, and she ran that beautiful truck of her's like a pro. We...

No way I'm selling it, it's exactly what I've been looking fo!

Here's a couple more - the two women are the truck drivers. The little one busted open all the binders and whipped that brand new Volvo into my tight little neighborhood. She was the 20 ear old daughter of the owner of the HEMTT. The other gal was an employee of his learning to drive trucks...

How is this to start? We just unloaded on Saturday - All I've had the time to do yet is pull the crumpled right fender and spare time carrier. I've dropped the windshields and rear windows off at the glass shop to have new ones made. I'm making the rear windows in smoked safety glass. The...

I fought those O-rings trying to get them to hold air on my wheels, until I discovered a way of putting them together that worked great - instead of putting the o-ring in the little channel they make for it on the main wheel side, I lubed them up and snapped them INTO the groove on the radius of...

If anyone's interested I've listed my 5-ton on the classifieds here. Check it out. I drove the new HEMTT yesterday - all I can say is WOW!!! These things have SOOOOO much more power! It drove great. Tracked straight, accellerated very smoothly, and the tranny shifted quick and...

I need to find TM 9-2320-279-20... maintenance and parts manuals. I have downloaded the operator's manuals from the tech. manual section, but the others aren't there yet. Anyone know where they can be found in paper or PDF?

any idea why it doen't have camo on it?

Was I bidding against you too? I guess I didn't make too many friends when I won that auction... This is where the money came from to buy that hulk - As luck would have it I sold it earlier in the week... Otherwise there's no way I could swing it with the wife.... But she hated the...

I've seen that on many pictures of these trucks. I think it's probably due to the fact that the XL's run just as well in either direction and once they are mounted on a wheel you're stuck with that wheel being on only one side of the truck. That being the deal, I think it's basically a matter...

Condon and Skelly sent me an email today saying that they would insure vehicles of unlimited type, provided they were older hen 25 years old. I've got a few years to go, it seems. I'll check with Hagerty, too.
