    M1009 transmission service.. hopefully a bad joke?

    Factory Pan off a HMMWV. It was already installed when I bought the truck. Shouldn't be too hard to find one. That is the factory finish. No spray paint Picture was right after I serviced transmission

    M116A3 Fix-up & Conversion Thread

    So how much did the shock, 1844-2, from Mendenhall Industries cost? Their website doesn’t say. Croft Trailer has the lowest price available that I’m aware of.

    Mep002a keeping us sane thanks to this forum

    Generators are machines and things happen. The key here is you troubleshooted, identified the problem and corrected the issue. SS is an excellent resource and you utilized said resource. As a result, you had power when it was needed most. You would be amazed on how many people simply cannot...

    New To Me Engine, Won't Start

    There’s a guy on YouTube from Alabama who could not get his M1008 to start. Tried everything. Finally he poured some transmission fluid down each intake opening. No clue on amounts. Then using a shop rag soaked in gasoline, laid the rag flat over the intake. Cranked a few times and it...

    M116A3 Fix-up & Conversion Thread

    If you plan to tow it on public roads at all, you might check with your states DOT. A lot of new rule changes have come out about fuel tank transport. Just FYI

    LEO Humvees

    It costs them nothing to let them sit and rot. It’s a shame. I know of several departments doing the exact same thing. 5 tons and LMTVs too

    GM Spin On Fuel Filter Conversion

    No It’s identical to the stock filter base, with the exception of the fuel pressure port is completely removed. Same priming procedure applies. I prefill my fuel filter and then install it. Small pie pan underneath catches any spilled fuel. No more pulling IP wire and cranking motor to...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Same finish as the truck I would think. Black is original of course, but I’ve seen 5 tons with green wheels and they looked good too. When I had my two 5 tons, they were all original with black wheels. Exception was my M925A2 spare tire had a brand new green wheel.

    GM Spin On Fuel Filter Conversion

    I bought the Stanadyne improved filter base version that does away with the fuel pressure port entirely. The original setup takes a few extra minutes to change filters, but it doesn’t take up the space that a spin-on filter setup does.

    Will look even better when the wheels are all the same color.

    M1000 Trailer

    Love seeing retired military equipment getting a new life. I saw dozens of these trailers at Red River Army Depot just rotting away, waiting for scrapper death. It was very sad.
