    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    thank you. It was all sprayed with a Harbor Freight HVLP gun at 17lbs of air pressure. the paint was slightly thinned so it could be sprayed at that low level of air.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    1985 CUCV, M 1102 Trailer and a S-250 Shelter. All done with paint from Home Depot. Love everything about the paint. I’m all about trying to keeping it close to military as possible, but I work at a Depot and after smelling that crap all day and dealing with all the proper PPE just to touch up a...

    After years of waiting, i finally bought an M37

    Thanks, The truck is pretty in good shape, it's just the paint job flaking off. the only major rust is the compartment under the drivers seat. that panel is all rusted out. the truck has been converted to 12 by a bunch of 8 year olds. there are wires running all over the place. I plan on putting...

    OK, I need some clarification here.

    ok, I am just putting this out there, if your Generator / Alternator has a 1" diameter cable coming out of it, then just follow it to the external regulator, you cannot miss it, it is about the size of a half a loaf of bread (wonder would work). now I have never taken these apart, but that is...

    M923a1 alternator voltage gauge readings

    if it is the 60 amp alt, yes, just remove all 6 screws on the back of the Alt and just replace that. saves you more money than replacing the complete alt.

    M923a1 alternator voltage gauge readings

    ok, you said rebuilt alt, i thing you might want to see if you can get anothr regulator for it. it sounds like the alt is working as you stated that it does charge to 24 volts, but it sound like you need a new regulator so you can adjust it to 28 volts. just my 2 cents.

    M923a1 alternator voltage gauge readings

    i have used that type before and had no problem with it. but you said you have tried to adjust it, all the way left & right and nothing happened? so you are saying that the voltage did not decrease? it just stayed at 24? something does not sound right.

    M923a1 alternator voltage gauge readings

    I agree with phil2968, you need to adjust the alt. if it is the standard 60 amp alt, you need to go to the regulator on the back of the unit, look for a small allen head screw near where the wiring is going into the unit, remove the allen head screw, insert a small phillips head screwdriver and...

    Engine Oil used in TH400 instead of Dexron

    Nope, 100% sure, we would spend about 3 to 4 hours flushing out the dextron, and then we would get a 55 gallon drum, clearly marked OE 15/40, as you know the OE stands for 0il Engine, and then pump out what we need and put it in the transmissions.

    Engine Oil used in TH400 instead of Dexron

    i know you are talking about the turbo 400, i had returned from Kuwait last year, spent about 7 months there working on MRAP's, and other equipment. and we were directed by the Military to flush all transmissions that has dextron and replace it with 15/40, I have been a military mechanic / Motor...
