    AustinT, did your truck come from auction with the adapter ring installed?

    Data Plate

    Could be. see if your number fits into the registry at all. This list is Mules in US Army service in the 80's.

    Just won an auction - M1088A1

    Driving on those tires is not to be considered, they are from 2002. Otherwise looks great.

    Clutch pedal adjustment

    Last I checked, the underneath of the floorboard is what both pedal arms slam up against, so not sure it’s possible to shim either pedal further down.

    M915A1 engine choices

    915A1s went through numerous RESETs, IRONs, etc over their long career. It is my belief that the 400s were evaluated individually and either “painted black” or sent to Cummins for overhaul as determined necessary by the depot.

    S-280 Shelter

    For reasons I will never understand, 280s never bring under $1000 at Govt auction. Not like dirty aluminum is worth that.

    Need advice please: transmission control module for 2008 Case Backhoe loader 580 SMii (industrial BHL backhoe loader)

    Yeah Case has left me high and dry on machines as well. Is this board mil specific? If not, do any machine dismantlers show to have it? Are there any 3rd party repair facilities available for this? There is a shop that fixes Allison boards. Did you try any tricks to fix your board, like...

    Water pump replacement

    Did you order Eastern Surplus part number SP-2839 for 6.2 engine? If you did and they sent you the wrong part they need to make it right. If you ordered the wrong part, like HM182, it's on you.

    Considering early 2000 LMTV for FD high water rescue work, question...

    The quotes for installed lift gates years ago were 5 digits, more than the city could go for. Hate to think what they would be now with the huge steel tariff increases we are seeing in manufacturing.

    These show up on GP Lytle TX from time to time if you can wait

    Considering early 2000 LMTV for FD high water rescue work, question...

    Based on the extreme difficulties we had getting senior citizens and dogs up and down ladders etc, I came up with this folding stair attachment. So far nobody has smashed it, which is this design’s achilles heel.

    What can you tell me about this brake sensor?

    Recall what all the brake proportioning valve does. If the front or rear brake circuits become unbalanced, a piston moves which activates a switch (pictured) that causes the “brake” warning light to illuminate.

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    A used oem shock should still be ok. Suggest a wtb ad here for someone parting a truck out.

    Oil pressure issue

    Agree. Back to brainstorming. Usually with well worn Jeep engines, the pressure can drop to zero when the oil is hot. Not right after starting.
