    M871A2 on an M52 ???

    I've used my M52A2 to pull a M871 trailer over 1000 miles without issue. I believe the reason for the warning is using an mixture of air/hydraulic brakes (M52A2) with air only brakes (M871). The compressor on the truck does take longer to fill the resevoir tank on the trailer than my M915A1...

    Air pump rebuild questions

    I believe the gasket set numbers are 5330-00-071-5328 or 5702691. Try Memphis Equipment to see if they have them.

    M915A1 transmission service

    I'm so glad my son and I changed the internal transmission filter today. I was hesitant at first with only 26,000 miles on the truck but decided what the heck, $220.00 dollars is cheaper than a new/rebuild tranny. Though the filter wasn't plugged, the fluid was very dark but it didn't smell...

    24 volt to 12 volt converter box

    I used cheap 24v relays powered by the stop, turn, tail light circuits on the truck to supply 12v power to the trailer circuits - tapped of 1 12v battery (I know about charging imbalance issues but have never had an issue - doesn't draw enough current to matter). I currently have the unit off my...

    Headlight switch for m915a1

    If you want to go with the original switch, use Carquest number 53-22424. Mine was also bad - this number is the exact replacement. Brian

    Windshield washer fluid surprise!

    I've been working to get everything in my M915A1 working correctly so I can use it to take my CDL driving test (plus I like all of my military vehicles to have everything working). I'm down to the low air pressure buzzer not working - ordered off ebay today for $9.00 shipped. The only fluid I...

    Used Tires

    Thanks all for info. I'll give Beck a try. Shipping cost prevent me from getting them anywhere other than local.

    Used Tires

    Is there anyone in the Kansas City/Topeka area that sells used tires? Specifically I need 22.5 R11 drive tires and 1100x20s for my M871.

    M915, M916, M917, M920 Melted wipper indicators. LOOK in here :-)

    I suggest removing it and going to a Carquest or Napa dealer - that's how I found the exact match for mine.

    M915, M916, M917, M920 Melted wipper indicators. LOOK in here :-)

    The link below is to the Allison transmission website. The link give the number of transmissions made for military wheeled vehicles. I'm not sure if Allision transmissions were used exclusively?? Wheeled Vehicles: Military: Allison Transmission

    M915, M916, M917, M920 Melted wipper indicators. LOOK in here :-)

    This posting was a life saver. I've spent days scouring the internet for these indicators with no luck, to include calling every military parts supplier I know. Though expensive, they are on order. I've also had to replace the headlight/dimmer switch. This too could not be located through...

    M915A1 rough idle

    Looks like I got lucky!!! On the advice of my local parts store owner (I think he has parts for every vehicle and tractor ever made in stock), I tried Lucas injector cleaner before diving into my fuel pump - I'm glad I did. I put the entire container in 10 gallons of diesel (I had about 10...
