    M1165A1 Headlights Burning Out

    . Yeah @dodgemain , what Tobash suggested please. My version is Be Specific to Be Terrific and the guys can definitely be more helpful. Don't take it personal... Just trying to help us understand a little better.

    Finally delivered M1028. Few questions.

    . A lot of really goofy things can be done, but a 16.5 tire won't fit and seal to the rim of a 16 inch rim.

    2 Stolen MEP 531A's

    . I hate a damn thief. Ignorance can be improved on with time. Stupid I can deal with and might be fixable too... But a thief is just inexcusable!

    So I bought a trailer... (M1101)

    . Welcome to the Outfit! Seems like you already know that we are "Picture Hounds" and you have already contributed to feed that need :) . Have to agree, being able to back up the truck - hook it up and go - is absolutely the best trailer camping choice. Would love to see what you come up...

    G749 preservation

    . @1944mb , If I had some, they would be all yours... Hate to say I have none

    LMTV/FMTV Dump trucks - worth it?

    . I am not certain about a design flaw - but I sure haven't seen many out for public consumption. Might be worth a look for the civilian version and see if there are any out there...

    G749 preservation

    . Some give up slowly, other engines go away with a hard loud "thump" and it stops dead (literally). I have had a piston rod look like somebody reached in and grabbed a handful of metal - snatched it out through the oil pan - and the motor kept running.

    Electrical issue.

    . Hi Matt, Welcome to the Outfit! So, you were given the information about the TM's (Technical Manuals) by @Barrman . He has been doing this for a while. Good guy to help solve some of your issues. What if you gather a few pictures and post them here? A few of the outside - just because we...

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    I went there and I see they have a section of troubleshooting starting at 5 blinking lights. They instruct to check the manifold valve vent as the first item. Now this is a multipart question: 1: Is there a TM I should be looking at as well that will give an overview of the air system? 2: Is...

    Electric M37

    . Sometimes a spin around the yard in the project truck just needs to happen. Like a reward for working on it. :cool:

    Tale of two Deuces

    . Big tarp in the bed and laid up over the cab of the truck with several ropes under it - depending on how much sand - then pull the tarp back over the sand. Keeps it from sandblasting the cars behind you. When you get back home, tie both ends of the rope (above and below) to a tree and drive...

    US Air Force lettering

    . All the information you got is good stuff. I never found the actual FONT NAME though. Your dots are square. You need round. That "Oswald" isn't going to be it. Needs to be something a little more old school from back in the day when fonts weren't "freeware" that everybody could download...

    HHMWV Fuel tank leak

    . I would think the wet towel would be a nice way to buffer the possibility of a Big Boom. I always thought the welders I worked with were "partly to mostly crazy" when they would weld on a gas tank. Fill it up with gas. As close to full as possible to have a smaller space for the vapor to...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    . So nice when you figure it out before expending the effort to install a broken (defective) part.

    MEP831a inverter trouble

    . Welcome to the Outfit! Might be a real benefit for you to download the TM's for your MEP. There are troubleshooting flow charts in "them thar books". .

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    . Coming down the hill from Virginia on I-81 and eventually connecting with I-77, there are three "No BS" runaway truck ramps coming south. Coming down through Fancy Gap, the grade drops you down about 1500 feet in elevation for a six mile downhill run. This is the first ramp: (At about 1...

    Beginning the Journey

    . @Ronmar might want to jump in on this, but reprogramming shift points is partly because through the years of use - things get repaired - and sometimes the changes don't cooperate with the transmission. Parts (TCM etc) get replaced and nothing is done to notify that the engine and so the...

    PNW Info Thread!

    . In Southwest Washington at the Fair Grounds on July 3rd, 2022. Fireworks at 10:30pm Summerfest Parade on July 4th, 2022. Centralia College Boulevard. To Tower Avenue. North to Center Street, South to Main and West to Ash Street. https://southwestwashingtonfairgrounds.org/events/summerfest/

    Beginning the Journey

    . Gotta remember too that the US Military has a much fatter wallet than you (no insult intended). Plus they have just about any amount of money they want to spend in Research & Development. If that fluid was good enough for them - I would bet it would be for you too. There is a way to...
