Is anyone near Baton Rouge that would be willing to get an M923A2 started? It will likely need the usual batteries and fuel prime to get it running. I plan to have it hauled but it needs to drive up onto the trailer. Thanks.
The 1078 I recently acquired runs but wont go into gear. The PBC (push button controller - Wtec3) is giving me an active code for 46 27 - Overcurrent, A-High Solenoid Circuit. Clearing the code does not work, the condition is active and preventing engagement. The relays in the PDP click when...
I've followed the TM and dug into the dash to identify this problem but no success yet. All electrical instrument gauges do no work with the exception of the high beam indicator and no charge light which are controlled by the power/ignition switch. The start relay under the hood had the starter...
This is a heads up to the MV community and those who use Home Depot to mix their military color paints. I was informed by the paint employee that Home Depot is migrating away from their dedicated computer program and will be using a web browser based program to mix paints starting this Fall...
I have a 2006 M1078A1R that is having an odd issue related to the battery disconnect box. This truck is current gen so no TM help. Batteries are fresh, wired correctly, and voltages checked. Turning the battery disconnect to "on" will result in a satisfying click for power. This click sounds...
I have an M1089 in Lincoln, NE that I'd like someone to go look over for me and prep for shipping. Put some batteries in it and make sure it can start to load itself.
Anyone around there?
No HEMTT section on the forum, no love for them yet? :p
Anyway.. I'm in possession of an M977 that the previous owner had no desire to own or work on. I've been working on it all day and ended up in a crank no start situation that looks fuel related. I've got strong cranking but like I said no...
Would someone who owns an A1 (not A1R) please post a photo of their battery cable layout. I recently acquired an A1 that was overhauled into an A1R and S&S seemed to have blended the two designs together making a mess. No batteries in the truck currently (get it..current) and no labels.
Does anyone know or do gear swaps for the FMTV/LMTVs here in Dallas, Tx? I can get the gears if need be but a one stop shop would be nice. Uhh..asking for a friend.
I managed to scoop up a M876A1 TMT "Telephone Maintenance Truck" but the data plate was missing. I've found 1 other member with a sister truck but no data plate on it either. Does anyone know of another truck in existence? I need the info off it. Thanks.
It looks like Oshkosh took another bite out of the DoD pie. No mention of rebuilds in the article, wording suggests new production only. The A2 units look like an MRAP and an LMTV had an accident. Im going to call it a VOMIT: Vehicle Of Mobile Infantry Tactics.
"The Family of Medium Tactical...
Does anyone have a source for the bolts to install the soft top supports on an M1101 or M1102? I was able to find technical the technical specs through the NSN but two bolt suppliers were unable to help.

I picked up an M1078A1 that's been uncooperative to start. The POC at pickup said they couldn't get the truck to start but I noticed the battery disconnect switch was in the off position and was hoping that was the issue..but it's deeper than that.
Attempting to slave start the LMTV off my...
I've got one M101A2 that's overdue for pickup at GP's New Boston, TX and I need someone to get it off their lot until I can get it. Tires are good, nice trailer. PM me, thanks!
I'm needing help identifying and sourcing a replacement brake pod for the tan one in the photo. I've been able to get the model 3672257C92 off of it but the only thing that comes up is the black pod in the photo, clearly not the same. The city who owns the vehicle and physically possesses the...
Does anyone have any experience working on the MAXXPRO model MRAP? I know the TM's are well out of our reach but I've been called to support some local counties with these units in service. I'm looking for any people with knowledge, parts sourcing, etc.. I wish I could say I owned one but I'm...
I'm having a trouble truck here that keeps tossing me problems with the front axle. RRAD did a poor job when they "overhauled" it by not greasing the bearings causing a cascade of issues. I redid both hubs with new seals and bearings and it apparently didn't like it. What is caused this issue...
I've noticed the retaining pins for the extending lift points on most of my M1082 trailers have gone AWOL, being they are large pieces of steel I thought they'd best be secured before travel. I found a commercial replacement pin form Tractor Supply that fit perfectly and is a little easier to...
