My CTIS controller is the standard controller used in the unarmored trucks. It works, but it is weathered. I have a MAS CTIS controller in very good condition from one of the armored trucks. I got it with a bunch of switches, but I am not positive the MAS CTIS controller works. Is it just a...
I have a 1998 M1078 with a Cat 3116. I think I have an injector that is bad. The truck smokes a bit (for about 15-20 seconds) from unburnt diesel fuel, but only when it is cold. Someone told me that I might have a bad injector. I have called around to quite a few diesel shops that specialize...
I see pintle hitches on vehicles (and variants) such as an M1, M113, M2, M60, etc (I am not including vehicles such as the M548 and M1015 because I know they did haul trailers). However, I have not seen many pictures of such armored vehicles towing trailers. I believe I have seen videos of...
I am looking for late model HEMTT parts. I am aware of the usual salvage places such as Rancher's Supply, Red River Truck Parts, SECO, etc. I looked through a few pages of threads, but I did not see any other threads like this...I am interested in finding out if anyone can suggest salvage...
Does anyone have access to NSNs/part numbers for an A4 HEMTT? Among other things, I am looking for the rearmost (#4) axle. I need a few other things, but that is the biggest item. Please advise.
Thanks!
(I reviewed the manual and was unable to determine the information I need.)
I have an M105A2 that was overhauled about 15 years ago by VSE. The landing leg on the trailer works, but it does not work correctly. As you are cranking it, you need to pull the handle back towards the trailer body...
Is anyone local to Camp Lejeune who could pick up and crate an armor plate and an m240 cradle? I am asking for a friend who is not on the list. Please let me know. Thanks!
I have seen many videos on YouTube of mainly M149A2s still in current service. Most of the trailers no longer have NDCCs on them. Instead, it appears that they have radial tires. I don't believe they are G177s, although I am aware that some trailers did use them (I actually have an M149A2...
Hello, a member (Winkster) has broken down in Galesburg, IL (I believe this is close to the Iowa border). His truck is at the Love's truck stop there. He is almost half way back to CA with a new-to-him M35A2C that he bought from another party. The truck has a 5.9L Cummins in it and it had...
Does anyone know if the FMTV cargo cover frame assemblies (the bows that hold up the cargo cover) are modular? I have an M1085 LWB cargo and I have been unable to find a complete cargo cover frame assembly. However, I've seen plenty of them for the M1078s and M1083s. Could I buy a couple of...
I regret to inform the list that a fellow member passed away on Sunday, April 9th. Cevon McLean, known as DECODEME2 on this list, died in a single car accident. He is survived by his wife and two adult children. He was a very good father, husband, and friend, and he will be missed. He and I...
Hello,
I am looking for a cargo cover and top framework for an M1085, tan preferably. If anyone has one or knows the location of one, please either PM me or post it here. Thanks in advance.
A good friend, who is a trucker with an RGN, is trying to get out of south central VA and go towards WI. If anyone has a load, he'll haul for $2-$2.50/mile depending upon what you need hauled and where. PM if you have any loads going that way and I'll put you in touch with him. This guy hauls...
Anyone have access to an M172A1 or a 20 ton tag along trailer? I am currently considering the purchase of an M548 variant. The trucker cannot get his truck and low-bed trailer into my area close enough to my house and I don't want to have to drive the vehicle 2 miles on back roads. Well, I...
I have replaced O rings on several M939A2 rims. However, I came across a wierd situation where the O rings in my 1989 M925A2 are not the same as those on my M928A2, or any other A2 that I have owned previously. I believe this rim takes a 1/2" by 20" O ring while my other trucks use a thinner O...
I wanted to share with the list a very positive experience I had dealing with Justin. I bought an LWS for an M939 from him. I thought Justin said the kit was complete...something he took off a truck. Anyway, the kit was missing some parts that were necessary for the install. After talking...
Does anyone know if the VIN is located on an M915A1 other than the data plate? A friend just got a truck out of OH and it is missing the data plate. I assume the VIN is stamped on the frame some place. Does anyone know where? Thanks!
GIJOECZAR contacted me regarding a problem that he uncovered with his M925A2. He is on the road and does not have Internet access and asked me to post a question to the list.
Here is his info:
"A2 not starting, because it's not getting fuel. There's fuel pressure all the way to the fuel...
