The gauges are notoriously inaccurate. Use it as a reference, but not as a specific temp. You should take a laser thermometer and check temp of things like hoses and the block next to the temp sensor to get a better idea of what it's actually doing, then come back on here and we can try to...

The chassis is M116A1, the bed attached to the body is what makes it an M101A1. Military equipment can have different model numbers for each part of them, or just for different attachments.

One additional piece of advice for the future when you're draining/changing fluids: Always open the fill plug first. On more than one occasion someone has drained the fluid from something, only to find a short time later that the fill plug is unable to be opened for whatever reason, and...

Serial number break for the heavier airlift bracket is 246890. Below that is old style, after is new. That puts the truck pictured as either an early truck, or someone's modified an older truck. Just from the picture, all you can say for certain is someone has a milemarker pull strap on a...

First of all, what is the model of truck? It does make a little bit of a difference for things. In your other thread you mention an M1097A2, so I'm going to go with that one for advice. After that, all the questions you are asking are answered in the manuals, but fluids are pretty straight...

I put mine on an empty trailer chassis that had a 55 gallon fuel tank built in. 802 so it's short enough to fit between the fenders, but used tome 6" C-channel to raise it high enough to open the foors on the front without removing a fender. Before it was on the trailer I used the front bucket...

Solution to a problem that doesn't exist. The sight glass is in a location that is kind of a pain in the butt to see, so not like you're going to check that often. The fluid level will only go up if you have the dreaded vampire issue with the leaking cooler loop, but you will have other things...

Yup, the 387 is for the newer ECV/REV trucks. Some info is the same, but some of the specifics are different.

So the last few digits are what separate them. the -10 is operator manual the -20 are maintenance manuals. For the M1123 there are three manuals total, so will end in 020-1,-20-2, -20-3 The -24P are parts manuals The -30 is depot level maintenance, so not what you would normally see done by the...

only real difference between the early one and the newer ones (up to serial number 246889) is the original trucks used a thinner drag link, and to use a newer pitman or idler arm you need to add a couple washers to take up the extra length of the threads on the ball end. That's the only...

Try looking at page 33 of the troubleshooting guide for what the codes mean, and the pages after that for descriptions of the code s

typically it's frequency that affects timers and clocks running slow, not voltage. On my MEP-802A the frequency gauge reads higher than it actually is, so I would definitely recommend using some type of a meter to check. Probably the easiest one I know of would be something like the kill a...

Looking at the Tire Rack website, they have the GoodYear Wrangler Enforcer MT tires in stock at about $810-865 each for load range D and E...

With as much money as you've sunk into it, buying "roll the dice" tires seems kind of dumb to me. New old stock tires, 2018 or newer and 100% tread can be had for a full set shipped around $1500. You usually won't see any temp spikes right before failure unless you're doing something really...

Looks like the chart in the -10 and the operations page show different rear pressures in sand.

It really depends on how you have your truck set up. For a truck with a turret and other things installed that raise the center of gravity, then I would say they are a major benefit. If you're running a base truck with nothing else installed, you're a lot less likely to have a rollover...

Going through the parts manual, it does look like they add a couple more brackets and a lower brace to what's already there. I don't have an REV truck so not sure about it all, but this is the only spot they appear in the parts manual.

Slightly longer answer, the specs above list it as max charging of 50a, and even the oldest HMMWV has at least a 60 amp alternator, and newer ones can have up to 400 amps. The starter is also going to draw more than 200a. That battery appears to be a deep cycle version, not a starting battery...

In theory the 15W40 is thicker than the 30wt oil at higher temperatures, so not sure how that would increase oil pressure. I know on the oil Detroit 2 stroke diesels 15W40 would smoke and burn, where straight 40wt oil worked just fine. A straight 40wt or 20W50 would be the next step thicker...
