    Trying to identify a new purchase 5 ton

    I must have been jet lagged when I wrote my response. Horrible typos. I did a thread on FOIA requests a few years ago. Suggest looking up that thread. Also you should review the VIN INFO thread to understand potential what you will receive. A TAACOM FOIA would be for a copy of the DA Form...

    Trying to identify a new purchase 5 ton

    actually, the reg is that DLA is required to retain data for military vehicles and weapons for 75 years. For foreign military sales, it’s forever until told differently. All other documents, it’s 10 years. Now wether or not the militarydid everyy correctly is a different mattER. That’s why...

    If it’s not already listed in any of the previous VIN INFO threads or is not in the listings povided in this thread, you will have to do a Freedom of Information Act request (US citizenship required). I posted a threa on how to o this after the data was shut down.

    Questions / discussion about General Mechanic's Tool Kit

    Yep, all the “cased” foam kits are the modernized GMTK. My original one was in one of those red tool boxes that always pinched your fingers.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    . Good question but not sure who would have a good answer. They were equipped with a plethora of hydraulic powered, hand held equipment. My concern about a dipper mounted hammer would be metal fatigue/vibration damage .

    Newbie trying to find vin info on my new truck

    More complicated than that. Sign up and about year 12 you’ll start to gain the knowledge. By year 15 you think you have it. Year 20 you’ll know you’re not the smartest guy in the room on any given topic but luckily, you know who is. At year 25 they change everything and you become ignorant...

    Newbie trying to find vin info on my new truck

    For a start, drop the Y4 and use AA. This goes for all army UICs. The Y4 is a Derivative UIC (DUIC). It’s a subordinate component of the main unit. Main units always end in AA. Y is probably a stay at home equipment while the unit deployed.

    Newbie trying to find vin info on my new truck

    0322–10085 is the serial number. You should also find the same number on the frame near the drivers side between the front axle and the back hanger of the front axle. 04J-68669 is the reg number…read the first post. Contract number is for that batch of vehicles made on that contract. WXERAA...

    Correct antenna m1008

    Back in my days it was mounted in the bed in a rack that occupied 1/4 or more of the bed space.

    Correct antenna m1008

    That era was the 12 series radios. The VRC 46 and VRC 47 were vastly more common than the other models in the CUCV although other 12 series models were used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/VRC-12

    Correct antenna m1008

    Is this the "radio connector" you have under the dash? If so, it isn't a radio connector. It's the STE-ICE test device connector. All CUCV's....as well as a lot of other mil vehicles....have them.

    GMTK AND SGMTK where are they all?

    Still no GTMKs from me. I picked up a nearly complete and basically new Armstrong GMTK in a Pelican case and brought it over here. I got several additional empty Pelican cases back in the US just prior to coming here. All had some type of issue. One had a busted lid and I finally found...
