My winch install thread.

There is no TM that covers this because it was not an add on kit. Trucks from the factory either came with a winch or did not come with a winch. The -20 or -30 should cover the individual components removal and installation and as already state, do a search. I posted picks of my install from...

So size does matter? You doing ok with your issues of inadequacy? 25 foot boom:drool:

Are you kidding me? I wish I could find a M813 for $100. Did you have a gun in your hand when you made the deal? Check out TM 9-2320-260-20, TM 9-2320-260-34-1, and TM 9-2320-260-34-2. The will have a troubleshooting guide that will tell you step by step what to do if it does not start. The...

Actually, AM General has an agreement from day one that made it impossible for the government to sell them complete as surplus to the average Joe. They could only be sold or given away to other governments. The Marines found a loophole. They did not sell them. They traded to a contractor for...

Read the manual but hear is a quick and dirty. Coolant heater or engine heater is for before start up. If installed correctly it will heat the cooland, engine oil, and trans fluid. You should run the cab heater for a few minutes before a really cold start as it heats up the battery box. When you...

XM813E1 is the pre acceptance model of of the M813A1. When full acceptance has happended they remove the X and change the E to a A. There are not X models of everymodel but if there were M35A2 would have been XM35E2 and M35A3 would have been XM35E3. When I was an armorer in the Army I got a...

When I was manager at a parts store in the 80's we had a guy start work in the fall and he was from Florida. One day I had him stocking shelves with snow brushes. He asked what they were and I told him he had better keep one out for himself.

We used them to store equipment in the 80's. They were supposed to be loaded out for deployment but when we deployed to Iraq we only took one and that had my arms room weapons in it. The rest stayed in the states while we were "over there".

I meant to post the one with the starter button. I must have grabbed the wrong one. Thanks for taking up the slack Bjorn.

But just posting a link did not really tell anyone it was a duplicate and the threads after yours kind of proved you did not get your message out to everyone. I got it but others did not. I would have put in a statement about your link but I felt it would have been too pointed and I just wanted...

Also, check the troubleshooting section of the -20 and -30 manual available in the resources section. This is where I stole the diagram.

There is a large relay that is activated by the power switch. It is next to the starter on the passenger's side. There is a wire behind the engine at the firewall. On my truck it rubbed on the engine lifting bracket. When it rubbed the insulation off it grounded and this cut it in half. The GI...

This is a duplicate thread. A thread on this subject is already in progress.

If the camaro was not in a dedicated lane and was just trying to pass the truck then the camaro is at fault for improper passing. If the camaro was in his own lane and was not passing the truck would be at fault for improper lane usage (turning right from a lane other then the right most)...

The only thing a dash switch would do is remove the shifter valve from the equation. The dash switch would only switch between the front and the rear sprags. If your shifter valve was a problem then this would fix it. If your actuator in the transfer case is mucked up then the dash switch would...

That post is from the deuce section and it only pertains to the deuce. The deuce comes with sprag or air shift. The deuce and five ton have different transfer cases. Can't take a deuce case and put it on a five ton. These are not interchangeable. Again, the only five ton I know that has an air...

There are not manual locking cases. All of the M39 (includes your truck) and the 800 series all had sprag transfer cases. The later 900 series had an air actuated transfer case for lock up with a switch on the dash but I do not know if it will bolt in. Memphis may not make them anymore. Give...

There are a lot of threads on cucv glow plug related systems. They are not covered under any Chilton's or Haye's manual. However, the military has a wonderful trouble section for them in the -20 manual. For those that do not know what that is check the link below. They have a trouble shooting...

Good to know thanks for posting. GM does not make that one anymore and just uses the new one. My local auto parts store showed the new one also. Glad to see the correct one is still available. Thanks for the info. I would rather not mess with hacking the harness.
