I bought one of the surplus A/C kits from Dilvoy last month. Later this summer will install and document. Very complete kit-every part immaginable included. Don't know how many mods will be required to fit into 5 ton, but guess I will find out.

Donation made. Thanks for the help.

Thanks Warthog, I have a little better understanding of the numbering system now. I guess I just need to dig thru the paint on the frame where your number is and see if I can find my number.

Thank you very much for the help, however it brings up another question. Is the VIN # the entire number shown as the "IDENTIFICATION NO." on the dash data tag or just the last part of the ID # such as C124 etc. as shown above on Warthogs truck?

Thanks in advance. XM818 WO/W VIN 05E73670C12412582 NSN 2320000508984 Contract # DAAE06-69-C-0009 Bought at French Camp, CA 3/10 Bumpers painted over-what could be read on front bumper 115-749???? Back of toolbox 115-749MT 118DS-24 Inside both doors US ARMY...

Anyone?

I picked up my XM818 with Cummins last week. I am looking for the VIN #. I know it is supposed to be on the drivers side frame at the front wheel next to the shock mount, but I can not find it no matter how closely I look. Can someone post a photo of a VIN number on an 800 series truck so I...

You are better off heating the plug instead of the housing. Anytime you heat steel red hot, you bake some of the carbon(which gives steel its strength) out, so it weakens the steel. When you heat the plug, it tries to expand but it is clamped by the housing. Once the plug gets red hot, it...

Check the California driver handbook-it has a summary of driver license classes on the first page. Class "C"(thats a regular drivers license) may drive: -a 2-axle vehicle with a GVWR of 26,000 lbs. or less -a 3-axle vehicle weighing 6,000 lbs. gross or less -a motorized scooter -any housecar...

Anytime you put electronics on a vehicle, you really need to add some protection circuits. First, you need reverse voltage protection in the form of a diode in the input wire(this could be a 1N4001 up to a 1N4007-the 1N4007 is best because it has the highest voltage rating). Second, you need a...

Thanks Carnac. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with DMV and conflicting VIN data and how you handle the problem when trying to register the truck.

So let me see if I have this correct-look at the frame above the drivers side front tire and read the number. This is the VIN/serial number of the truck. Then go to Carnac or Dave D and they can tell me what year the truck was made. This is the info that is entered onto the SF97 form that I...

I just won an XM818 tractor with Cummins in California. I've read all the threads about finding the serial number and determining the year for the SF97, but I don't understand it. Does GL just take your word for the year and S/N on the SF97? If proof is required, how do you do that? The S/N...

I had an old Ford truck that used to do the same thing. It is not sweat or oily hands, it is stuff coming out of the plastic itself. For some reason, it happened most often when it was wet and cold outside-during or after a cold rainstorm. Found that I could just wipe it down with paint...

Why is American taxpayer money being used to buy French guns and German trailers? If we're going to squander taxpayer money, we might as well keep it in the U.S. Seems to me I heard something about a recession going on in the US with lots of unemployment?

M813 5T with Cummins. Ran unloaded on diesel from Southern Cal to Northern Cal (400 miles) all freeway at 52MPH(max speed) & got 7 MPG.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Body Filler The reason Bondo absorbs moisture is that it is made of fiberglass resin mixed with talcom powder. The talc is what gives it the putty-like consistency, but also the moisture affinity. If you need alot of bondo, you can make it yourself and save some money.

Thank you!

Does anyone know the minimum turning radius of an M813?
