I just bought a M749 Van trailer on GL and I finally need to find a Intervehicular cable for my M818. I have the plug in the rear deck, just the IV cable itself is missing. So I was wondering if anyone knows where I can order one from or if anyone has one for sale in the NW Indiana area.

My brother is planning on turning his M1008 into a mud truck and was wondering what the differences are between 3/4 ton chevy leaf springs and the springs in a 1008. I guess he can find lots of lift kits that say they are for 3/4 ton trucks but not many for 1 tons. He was wondering if there...

It runs I guess we really just needed dry pavement to pull start it (grass and icy roads won't do the job). Started right away and runs fine except for the throttle sticking a bit. For the first couple minutes it was running it didn't build any air pressure, but as I started backing down the...

Update It's finally getting warm enough for me to start working on the 818. Today I pulled the fan so I could get to the balancer on the crank. Now I know that the motor isn't locked up, because it turns over manually. Now I'm wondering about the starter or PCB again. It still just clicks...

I knew I should've taken pics of the truck when we were down there. I can't remember what style the tach is. I guess it looks like I probably need to find all my TMs and swipe a good tach from my brothers M109.

I've got a truck 600 miles from home with an annoying problem. My new M35A2 w/w, which is currently still at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama, has a tachometer problem. While picking up 3 other trucks with approved EUCs, I found the 4th truck that had not been approved yet, checked the fluids and...

I've read in a few other posts that PCB issues could cause the gauge problems, and it seems to me that a running M931 should be putting out enough power to slave start an M818 (Battery-generator indicator read in the green while M931 was connected). I think the starter was all round, but I...

First of all, I have no experience with 5-tons, so of course I had to have one. Today I went to Drexel Gardens, IN to pick up the M818 I bought on GL. Truck looks good except for 10 well worn tires (the spare is brand new). Batteries all had decent voltage, but when flipping the ignition...

More gauge ideas Here are a few more gauge ideas. I just installed Auto Meter Z-Series gauges in my 85 M1009. 2 1/16" mechanical oil pressure and water temperature mounted in the radio delete plate (that's what MP3 players are for) so the idiot lights still work. 2 5/8" diesel tach mounted...

I assume most of the other trucks were sold or are coming up soon on GL. I think it was the same lot that maddawg308 picked up his trucks at. There is a bit of oil on the bottom of the pan, but we havent had to add any more, and all other fluids were full. The lights are the TACOM pushbutton...

Yeah, that kinda pissed us off. I mean, that almost half the crankcase capacity. The GL guy just walks up saying "This one should start right up", and starts it w/o letting us checking anything on/in it. Then he tells us to pull it out of the lot so he could lock up and to go across the...

Truck managed to maintain between 50-55 m.p.h. through all the hills on I-76 heading west out of PA. While at a rest stop a convoy of about 12-15 HMMWVs pulled up for fuel. We had hoped to tuck in behind them and pretend we were with them for a while but we left first. It started to rain so...

My brother just bought a 1971 M35a2 with 8713 miles on it from GL in Chambersburg, PA. We wanted to trailer it back, but the trailer we were going to borrow was a couple of feet to short. GL said it ran so we decided to try to drive it home. Left for PA on Thursday, and got to Chambersburg...

Just Google TACOM switches. I found 2 pages of instructions from the supplier.
