I need to build a roll cage for my M1083 Expedition camper and add some boxes to it.

I have a 17 ft Winnebago mounted on the back of the M1083 instead of the bed. Used spring mount, just like tanker trucks. I need to build a battery bank to run the AC. I have a 24 volt military diesel generator for charging them. I looked into FeLiPO4 (Lithium Iron phosphate) and so called "Lead...

I am adapting an M35A3 tachometer for use in M1083A0, both run a CAT 3116 motor. Where can I get the plug that connects to the back of the tachometer, or a wiring harness from m35A3 that has the requisite plug?

I already upgraded my headlights to Truck-lite and like them a lot. Since I have a camper on the back of my truck wired into the 12 volt side, I would like to upgrade all the marker lights turn indicators and stop lights to LED. I think truck-lite makes them. Ideally I would like black ones, not...

I got a tachometer from M35A3 which also came with the 3116 engine. I am looking for a wiring harness for it for installing it into M1083A0, or a tachometer wiring harness for M35A3. I can re-work the deuce wiring harness for LMTV, I believe that the sending unit is the same on all 3116 engines.

Not sure whether I am using correct terminology, please feel free to correct me:

My truck is an M1083A0, with 3116. I would expect the tachometer from M35A3 to work, since both trucks have the same engine (Cat 3116), just at a different power setting. I am wondering if anybody here was able to make it work?

My M1083A0 came without a fuel primer, ad did many of the 3116 trucks. Does anybody know the part number for fuel primer? IIRC it's a fuel filter housing with primer built into it.

Based on my research on the internet, I found a few different part numbers that allegedly fit: Power Packer: PP997900 - That's what Eastern surplus has on their web site in addition to the FM-345 which is their part number The one below is supposedly for a different truck, but fits the FMTV...

My family grew, I have 2 kids (ages 5 and 2) and the truck is for camping "expeditions". Not like a real expedition camper, something more local and less expensive. I currently own a well sorted m923a2 with 3 air ride seats in the cab. I don't feel like butchering the cab to get 2 more seats for...

I saw a bunch of them on auction sites. There are a few on fleebay as well, anywhere between 13K and 40K. What's a decent truck worth, one that does not need major work?

It looks like based on age I should be able to register M923A2 as an "Antique" in New Hampshire (it's 23 years old and the cutoff is 20 in NH). I was told that in Mass you don't need a CDL to drive an Antique, even if it otherwise requires a CDL due to gross weight, air brakes, 3 axles and etc...

I need an empty cab and a hood for M923 5-ton shipped from Michigan to Boston. The shipment will also include a few more smaller parts like air cleaner that can be packaged inside the cab. Please contact me juha_teuvonnnen [at] yahoo [dot] com I check that email more frequently than PMs on the...

I got an M923a2, with ABS MWO, on super singles 14.00R20 Michelin X. The tires have cracks due to old age and exposure to elements, so I am not comfortable driving it like that. What are my tire options? Are 16.00R20 any good for this truck? I heard that the 6CTA8.3 is a total dog on 16's. Any...

Hi, I need a couple of moves: 1. M923a2 from Appleton,WI to Northern Massachusetts/Southern New Hampshire. 2. Land Rover Discovery from Northern California to Massachusetts. I can be pretty flexible about dates, and the location for dropping off the Land Rover. I am open to suggestions as to...

I have M923a2 and I need a hood and a fender for it. Are the A1 hoods and fenders the same? Also, any pointers to where I could get my grabby hands on them would be appreciated. The truck in in Wisconsin and I am in Mass.

Hi All, I just bought an M923A2, and it came with ABS kit in the box. If somebody could point me to the directions (ideally a PDF or a TM or something along these lines) on how to install these I would greatly appreciate it. Due to complete lack of time, I will not be doing it myself, the plan...

I added a bunch of items to my watchlist on the 12th, the auctions closed on the 15th. The goal of the exercise was to see what these trucks (M35A3, a few 5 tons) go for. Now I see nothing in my "Closed Watchlist" and have no clue what these trucks went for, WTF?
