Thank you for the information. I am just now learning what I need to know on this series trucks. I can see why they are a favorite of so many people who like the big military trucks. I, myself, have quickly become fond of the M915a1 since I got it. I hope maybe to add a M916 to the collection later.

You've been a lot of help on M915a1 acquisition. I'm mostly familiar with the 800 and 900 series trucks. I'm getting ready to put 395 MTV tires on her mounted on 5 ton combat rims. Can you confirm for me that the 5 ton LH and RH 3/4"-16 lug nuts fit the wheel studs on the M915 before I spend a...

Stephen South is one of my go to guys on tires.

The tires on my truck are...they have pretty deep cracks in them. I would not be surprised if they are the original 1984 tires!

Thanks for the info. I do go by Rockwood/Harriman when I go to Dandridge or Johnson City to visit friends and family. I have a guy with new G177 on the awful split rims, that I can get for $275 @. Not so cheap on the 395s that are new...more like $340 @. I would go with singles all around, but...

I blew out a set of rear axle seals...do you remember the numbers? I might as well replace all of mine. The truck sat for years, but like yours fired straight up and drove over 500 miles just fine except for the rear seals going out and making a mess on the truck and Global trailer. As with all...

What rims are you running on the truck in the photos? I am looking at replacing all the tires but I am looking at a new set of G177 on the back and the 395 MTVs on the front using 5 ton combat rims. I had hemtt rims on my M923a2 with 16.00s and it had a nice aggressive look and rode decent.

I know this post is a couple of years old, but I was hoping you might have the instructions for the installation of this Attbar still on hand or on your computer. I just recently picked up an NOS unit for my truck to install instead of the S-788 I was going to use and it came complete with all...

You still making these kits and what's included and how much? I could not find the link to the classifieds showing this. It said no post available, but I'm interested in one...fiero11.

Lots of good info...I understand the engineering overkill situation...not using compressor start up amperage over continual and the like. I have a 450 amp Niehoff that is the same size as the 400 amp but like you said, it is darn heavy (125lbs) and big. I added up all my amperages together and...

Your knowledge on alternators and generators seems to be pretty extensive, not to mention helpful. Would you have a recommendation for a smaller high output alternator that would cover two high out put radios, an EyeCon 360 MRAP light kit, a 3500 watt power inverter, and the usual fair of other...

Thanks for the info and if I was just using a normally supplied truck, the 60 amp unit would be fine, but I have extra equipment loaded such as 3 radios, numerous HID lighting mounted on the truck, and power converters I am wanting to power without draining the batteries during use. I just...

Would be happy to see some ideas. I have the Niehoff 450 amp generator which is about the same size with a different voltage regulator that I am wanting to install in my M923a2 with a Cummins 6 CTA turbo engine. Its got a little more room to work with, but it too has cooling lines in the way and...

Gunny65, Did you get the 400 amp Niehoff wedged into your truck? I have an M923a2 with the Cummins 6CTA turbo 8.3L engine that I am wanting to put a Niehoff 450 amp generator in. I bought a 200 amp Niehoff upgrade kit for brackets to accommodate the larger size and weight and Niehoff sent me a...

I installed a second fuel tank where the tool box was. You need the mounting brackets and the tank. The tool box bracket are different and in a different position to support the tank. I used an electric 24 volt external fuel pump with a filter head in front of it for a spin on fuel filter and...

I redid my batteries and run just two Optima R34's with 6TL adapter plates in an external battery box. I have had no problems yet and it always starts.

The key statement to this issue is the term " commercial" in the ordinance! If you are like me, my truck is not registered as commercial, but as my POV. It has tags and insurance not much different than my cars and is registered no different than a pick up truck. You may have it dismissed and...

Love the idea; I want to have custom plates made for my doors, since they are the most exposed. Just keep in mind you will need something like an AR-500 grade plate. Mild steel can be punched through by most ammunition like butter.
