I need help with ideas how to add a compressor to this machine. The mount is not the problem, it's a belt and pulley issue. Someone said they had seen a D7G with a/c onboard. I can't find any information out there on this. It would be in the TM or some supplemental instance thereof. I'm sure...

I have been so busy with truck and equipment rehab I have had no time to post my projects. Finally getting to a point where I can share some of the projects I have completed over the last 8 years. I use this my equipment in a small business so it is hard for me to stay current on Steel Soldiers...

So, I took a leap of faith and bought this beast. Was it a good decision? I think so, but time will tell... If you are interested in the discussion then just ask. Was it 100% ready to go? No!!! Was it worth the price paid? Maybe, we will see... I am in the process of adding AC and some of my own...

I'm not sure where to post information or questions regarding heavy equipment like D7G. I would like to know if anyone else on SS owns, operated, or worked on the D7G? Maybe a MV Heavy Equipment Forum? Did the DOD ever add A/C to any heavy equipment?

I would like to switch out tires on my 1083. I have the CTIS controller cable unplugged because I want to run tires @70-80 lbs anyway. What do I need to do? Does CTIS only work with split rims? I have some tires on rims that have the control valve hole in the rim. I guess that is what the hole...

So, it has been hot here in West Texas this summer. We traveled to Waco to pick up a 50DLA tag-along trailer. It was 95+ all the way and half of the way back ( 350/400 ) miles round trip. We kept the engine temp no > 230 degrees. Last week was hot and unusually humid for this region of the...

Guy's I'm newbie owner of a (MTV) 1083A1. That is what the data plate has on it. I am in the process of learning all about this truck. I acquired it from a VFD. They went from a 4 battery configuration to a 2 battery config. They disconnected the NATO slave receptacle and it looks like the 12V...

I haven't been on SS in years because I have been busy building and restoring 5-ton trucks. I really do not have time to wade through all of these Google account login ads. I just want to look at some TMs and I have to download a template reader and wade through a bunch of ext. download which...

Hey guys, I bought this terminal block a few years ago and I forgot what my application was going to be with it... I think it had something to do with taking 28V to 12v-5v via (Hall Effect) fuses on two blocks (input-output) voltages. Is it step down transformation or something else? Forgive me...

Okay, had a great time for sure. Not for those who can't handle a bunch of rednecks, horse power, loud music, mud slinging, booze, naked breasts etc... This isn't the place to take grandma. I'm sure there were a few baptisms and worship gatherings held there today. Actually, everyone was very...

Got to hook up my air-ride bucket seat. Not too familiar with M929 auxiliary air layout yet. Need to tap in 1/4 pvc line to emergency air line. Haven't looked yet, but maybe there is a aux valve under the driver's dash like there is on the M809 series. Even though, that might not be the best...

Both of my front end ball-joints are leaking oil. Left side just a little bit, the right side looks like a seal is out. I'm sure this has something to do with filling them up with oil a few weeks ago. I haven't searched the forum yet for HOW-TO answers, but I will. I took possession of this...

I've got a bad control box on my M929/A1. I knew it was the control box, but I went ahead and did some electrical tests on the ignition switch to the neutral start switch etc... There is no 566 lead to the alternator for lock-out on this truck. So, I had a spare control box WSU 4001UT which came...

What is needed to complete the spare tire hoist etc...? There is no boom or hoist winch on a 929, just the flange plate covering the vertical tube. Do you attach the same hoist kit, or come up with something custom? Looks like a trip to Harbor Freight my be the best option. I need to be able to...

I searched the forum on "hard transfer case shifting" and found a lot of good discussion on the topic. Maybe what I am experiencing is normal operation, but thought I would ask the question again. I'm not sure that I am having any problems but here's how my truck acts when you shift from high to...

Anyone have a suggestions on a heater core replacement other than mil-spec original? Maybe someone has tried a rear passenger heater core from a Suburban or other vehicle? Sounds like my original can't be fixed, but I'm going to get a second opinion. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Is this a special type fuse attach to each Facet fuel pump? I can't find any information on this part in the TM. Obviously, it is an OEM part of the Facet pump assembly. I damaged the one on my auxiliary fuel pump. They are filled with light oil. Looks like some type of explosive proof fuse to...

Thought I would ask for diagnoses advice, but I will search the forum for any threads related to possible cause for excessive heat difference on one hub. My right rear hub is much hotter to the touch others. All others are normal. At this time I have the axle removed, ready for the inspection of...
