Picked up this Navy 520C loader, the step below our M10A/530C loaders. 92' year and still carries on the same design as our units. I can't wait to worker it and get some gravel laid out.
Ah yes, the hidden yet infamous noise suppression box. It's not an official MWO but the commo guys install them when truck need a clean feed for their radio equipment onboard. I've had 3 of these units swell internally and cause a truck to crank no start. Nice find and no they're not in the...
PDP - Power Distribution Panel ( inside the passenger dash board with relays and breakers).
You will need the Wabco toolbox to talk to the ABS. It's a COTS (commercial off the shelf) system so start with visually checking your sensor cables at the wheels, make sure your truck's voltages are...
Check for power to and through CB42 on you PDP. That's power to your ECM. The ABS has nothing to do with the engine ECM so you likely had a related issue that tripped both systems. Start with the basics and work your way up from the batteries. I've seen cables chaff and melt from the exhaust...
They do this little back and forth dance with the SF-97 and Battle Creek to have blank SF-97s presigned and submitted to BC. They get returned and they hold them until the vehicles are physically picked up form auction. Then they start the reassignment or title work process. I've had many...
I've had two 4 speed R1 trucks. One was an oddball with CTIS, tach on the passenger side dash, and more. Both came out of RRAD released batches of trucks.
You "CAN" but they're not the same thing. They're about 48" tall but give or take tread height on the 14.00 they could be marginally similar. The 450/80r20 is much wider, softer, and rated for lower speed by comparison. I bought a M1079 with a set of them on it and they scrubbed down to near...
You're treading into M915A4 territory. Big Cam I & III mated to 4050 and 4500SP. Check the TM's related to them and maybe you'll find what you're looking for. The M916 with Allisons dubbed the "M916A0E1" don't have any supporting documentation on them. I've had a few but no more.
I was able to submit a form, photos, and estimate for repairs. They certainly put the burden of evidence on you then they get to make a ruling. If you paid more than $5000 before fees/tax/etc you have at least the standing to make a claim. If not then then your don't have the "IronClad"...
Eesh.. that's not a good look for the hobby and this community. It's not released for public distribution so it means just that. I don't agree that these TMs should still be classified since they sell the trucks to the public but since when did the military care about common sense? It wasn't...

The local GSA was able to pull 2 of these units from DLA before GP got those 4 units. One does look "refreshed" and the other was clearly a victim of water intrusion. I hope they go to a good home. Talk about a dinosaur (that I want!)
Make sure to try all channel types, you may just have to do process of elimination. I've noticed some trucks like theJ1708 and others J1939 connection. Make sure the dual-link option is unchecked, these trucks don't support that feature.
