    Site Timed out after trying to post pictures

    It would seem the server is way way overloaded or on dial-up . Slowest site I visit. Always seem to be waiting on google ads to load. Frustrating at times, yes!. but do not consider this a complaint from this freeloader, just an observation.

    www.saturnsurplus.com is good, although they are sold out of a lot of the items listed on their web page. I have a complete dash, among other parts. PM me with your needs, I'll see what I have.

    M886 Radio???

    RE: M886 Interesting, that table shows personnel heater 24v. For the winterization of the M886 they remove the existing gasoline heater with 12 volt ignition and replace it with a 24v personel heater. I have never seen any M880 series truck set up like this.

    From TM9-2320-266-10 The above would indicate that radios were not used in M886's. The TM lists only the M881, M882, M883, M884, M891 and M892 as having the 24v system . Further the TM lists only the M882, M892 as having a communications kit. Other than that , I know NOTHING about military...
