    915 headlight switch wiring?

    The M915 standard switch is notorious for shorting out, and the jeep switch it uses is even weaker as a replacement part than the OEM. There are a few different options, wreckerman re-wired mine so he could use it and Dueceman51 has the mil procedure that adds a relay.

    915 headlight switch wiring?

    There aren't any pictures of colored wire as the manufacture didn't use the same color wire throughout. You'll have to find the cable number and use the diagram. The cable is labeled ever 12 inches with it's number. Mine's been re-wired but if I can find the old switch I'll take a photo and...

    900 series 5 ton cabover

    Richard seeing that no US manufacturer makes a cabover anymore, I wouldn't put it past DOT to outlaw them. Just saying, but if you found one it would work. The NHC-250 isn't any larger than a Detroit, or Cummins 350. My issue would be people get pissed at being held up at 55mph, but don't say...

    Commercial use of M915's, 916's, 920's etc...

    Aside from the no sleeper deal, I think the poorly insulated cab and sheer weight are a big factor.

    "Frozen North" Rally 2012 - Minnesota

    I don't believe snow is a bad thing I just think snow and bibwacking don't go hand in hand. Don't get me wrong service men did it for years, but that was a necessary evil in support of uncle Sam. Not exactly a choice as much as a direction.

    Has anyone here put a 454 in a CUCV?

    A co-worker up here did, I'm not sure of the details but realistically it can be done.

    First relaxed drive of the M923

    Those were fun videos. Kinda boring but interesting none the less. I just realized I've never personally seen a M939. Should make my pick-up interesting...:D

    M127A1C/ M197A1 Camper conversion

    May not work for your application but I've found LP's Smartside is a far supieror product than any ply siding, I've used. Bead board being the exception.

    Show Me Your Campers!

    We have the Q200 although they are all pretty much the same just different size, which is why I left out the model number. The 200 fits our family very well, although with 4 boys we would probably upgrade to the 300 if it was "portable". Until the flood this year, I had planned to MOD the...
