Took me 9 months to get my most recent one. Will the fee change pay for faster service?

I'm in the opposite camp. I'd do almost anything within reason to get hold of a couple of these Ricardo kits to install on my trucks.

Thanks for that, you make us all smarter a bit at a time!

I thought only >300 REV B had the Sheppard steering gears? Is that on all ECV trucks including non REV B?

That truck did go cheap at $3500 but it needs at least 8-10K worth of visible repairs, assuming the radiator can be repaired without replacement. Very often, the non-runners have some minimal problems and can be brought back to life cheaply. Then again, some just need engine and tranny...

I helped a buddy change out his 400A and I could barely lift the alternator even after it was out. That thing is heavy.

Just a tip on the swap, a hoist like this one to carry the weight of the alternator as you put them in and out is the only way to do the job (unless you have a forklift!).

Well I am now going to triple check my own spindle nuts to be OCD about it.

So to answer the question posed, I am lucky enough to have a REV B truck and some experience in both A2 and non-REV B but ECV trucks. My local terrain is very mountainous and challenging. Observations: The most important distinction is the 6.5 Turbo and 4 speed transmission. Driving the...

We post that pic a lot!

I am definitely going to buy a non-runner REV B truck for spare parts and stash it away.

As far as I know, the serial number range is dispositive. All 3xxxxx series feature REV B upgrades. But word of caution, there are some trucks with other serial number ranges above 4xxxxx. I have no data on whether those are REV B. The ones I have seen with those numbers have been models...

Wow that's unfortunate, sorry about that.

Yep, serial number in the 3xx,xxx range. And I wouldn't say stupid - a 3xxxxx M1165A1 that looked pretty complete and running with doors went last week for $46K hammer price (54K with premium). That's about the nicest kind of truck you can get out of the auction, expensive but not stupid money.

I would suggest throwing the incandescents in the trash and getting a nice pair of Trucklite brand LEDs. In terms of bang for buck that's one of the best HMMWV upgrades you can make. ;)

Sorry I should have posted a photo but am away this week - I will try and get one together. But the one below (from the Black Dog website) is pretty much identical to mine other than the color. Mine is on an airflift bumper vs the mount shown below. And I do have a Rhino tire carrier but I...

I had considered the rear winch plate but I don't think I can run that and the civilian tow hitch adapter, and I need that to move around a trailer. Does anyone know if you can have both?

McSpeed’s thread on getting stuck has me considering adding a rear winch to my M1165A1. I do go in the backcountry a lot and getting stuck is a real concern. I will shortly have a 17K front mount winch permanently installed. I am just toying with options, but I am wondering what people who...

There has been an advisory on MT/Rs for catastrophic sidewall failures that have led to rollovers and deaths. https://www.benning.army.mil/MCoE/MCoE-Safety/Content/PDF/SOUM%2018-007%20Premature%20Sidewall%20Blow-outs%20TASKORD.pdf

There is a lot of nonsense in this thread about Montana registration insurance and LLC ownership so let me set the record straight. 1. A sole asset LLC that owns a vehicle in Montana is absolutely legitimate and will be respected by courts if you are sued. Unfortunately the driver of the...
