sigh. So, I picked up an M1031 about 4 yrs ago...Bought it with 19k, now have about 47k on it.... haven't had any real issues with it... other than the generator being finicky. When I picked it up, the power steering pump had all but unbolted itself and was held in by the belts, and was...

For a field repair, you should have been able to remove the top cover.... 3 - 5/16 bolts IIRC, and removed the plunger. You'd get it running, but you'd have to pinch off a fuel line to get it to stop... I keep a pair of vice grip locking pliers specifically designed to pinch off lines without...

Replaced a trans cooler line ... apparently didn't secure it well, it chafed in about a week and is gushing fluid.... sigh...

84 M934A0 (haha).. std Mt654cr.. from transmission to cooler.. I checked TMs, and I'm not finding info. so far it's 72" overall, 75 PSI operating ,max burst 3000PSI.. I found P/N 12277179 NSN 4720-01-115-2274, but it seems to be for the hose itself. I have someone that's gonna make the hose...

'My portable doesn't work' *hands radio with antenna cut off* What happened? 'The antenna was too long and kept poking me in the armpit, so I cut it like the old ones' (They had recently replaced VHF stubby 'dummy loads' with wideband 1/4 wave)

nice. being the 'radio guy' had its perks.. heh. let one little thing go wrong and it goes from 'why can't you do this? ' to 'what can we do to help you?' oh the stories I could tell... like one officer came in 'radio will rx but not tx'... I go out there and he had taken off his VHF 5/8...

I removed the slide out. I have 1 minor leak, but nothing I'd even really be worried about.

He also has a fmtv tractor, but I heard those engines are crap, and being 6'2" and 450lbs...I don't think I can fit in one.. hahah... but yes... on the pic you posted.. I'm concerned about long term reliability and mileage.. would the A2 actually get 10 MPG @ 55 on highway? which is the more...

So, I bought a 934 with the NHC250.. Loved it. . no major issues... Sure it's a bit slow with 1100s but the duals add a ton of stability.... Now, I had an on the job injury, fighting for disability, and am homeless living in the 934, and tow barring my M1031... it's funny how life works out...

So far the only thing I have back there is a bed and a composting toilet... heh.. It keeps me out of the weather.... so I can't complain.

I drove my M934 to Wendy's. I'm finding out though, that it's **** near impossible to stealth camp in it. I'm homeless and living in it, and towing my M1031 behind it.. and it's tractor trailer length long.. no one wants it in their parking lot.... I'm thinking of getting a 932A2 and...

Hah! I love it!

Why would you do that? You're losing 20% right off the bat in terms of conversion efficiency... That means a 1kw battery bank is effectively an .8kw battery bank

Try to keep as much stuff 12v as possible. Every conversion from 12 to 120 to xVDC is a loss in efficiency, even your laptop power supply.. use a DC DC power supply instead. Also, look into converting a chest freezer into a fridge, often called an aussie fridge.... very efficient...

I'm always torn between period correct and new technology. Whelen R316 Beacon would be awesome... Keep the classic look but update to bigger/brighter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzOz2L80zDU Unity also has their LED beacon...

Anybody have an idea of how much less a CUCV is worth once it's been in an accident?

I got a concussion... No need to play anything. lol

Watched as some guy pulled out of a side street right in front of me. **NSFW LANGUAGE WARNING** You Tube you tube O6t4fF5fKuE **NSFW LANGUAGE WARNING** They're probably gonna total it based on year alone. Rain + no ABS + panic stop + no stopping distance = bang Luckily he admitted fault...

an empty 20' box weighs in at 5k lbs. The M934 is 17' with a 2 ft overhang for the HVAC (which are usually torn out). Start with a long wheelbase unit, otherwise it won't fit.

Check in the exploded parts TM.
