    Need help. M1083A1P2. Ukraine

    PTO is power take off, power for winch (if equipped), CTIS is power for central tire inflation. Look for abbreviations related to “defrost”, maybe DEF. We are going to ask some active duty US Army contacts if they can provide insight into this circuit. This will take a day or so.

    Need help. M1083A1P2. Ukraine

    Welcome and greetings from the United States. If you post any pictures, be sure any geotagging is turned off, don’t make the same mistakes as the mobiks. Unfortunately we also do not have hard copies of the maintenance manuals for the A1P2 uparmored trucks, they are only electronic versions...

    Something is way off with the engine, it should sound a smooth as a sewing machine.

    differences between LDS465-1A and the Dash-2 ?

    You see the hp is rated at 2800 RPM, having driven a 656, I can tell you the Allison shift points are all at 2800 RPM, the engine seems like it spends a lot of time at redline.

    differences between LDS465-1A and the Dash-2 ?

    The -2 came in the M656 and was rated at even more horsepower than in the M39 5 tons.

    Conversion to Electric Lift Pump on HMMWV?

    6.5 Chevy/GMC trucks use the electric pump too, people advise you to keep a spare in the glove box.

    Latest M1167 purchase. Too far gone? Or should I rebuild.

    No brainer, put that one back together. USMC was cannibalizing it because it was the pick of the litter at CANN point.

    M151A2 MERDC Paint Source

    Suggest you visit a Sherwin Williams Coatings store and ask them to look up Federal Standard 595 and have them mix you up some FS34151 in the Industrial Enamel line.

    Hummer Ambulance

    Please just buy a diesel pusher and enjoy driving around and not being towed to repair shops like you would with a HMMWV.

    Did they drill a new hole in your tank? There already is one hole for the drain plug.

    Common problems and solutions HMMWV

    Ha that is the 1985 version of the TM, the caliper parking brake was just a twinkle in some AM General engineer's eye at that point, the page you pictured is the awful driveshaft parking brake that was in use 1984-89 ish. Find one of the later dated TMs on this site for info on the newer brake.

    ISO SB 11-640

    I vaguely remember that SB is not about installing the actual tirdown eyes etc, it is about installing the steel cable/turnbuckle/hook assy and how to fabricate a 2x6 spacer to lift the shelter 1.5” to clear the bed sides.

    ON BOARD AIR?

    Is this bracket also for the Thomas compressor? My GMV has the compressor mounted like in the picture on post #3. This picture is from a 1995 GMV that some dipsh-t is making into an electric hummer on Youtube. This bracket allows you to keep the ws washer reservoir.

    M1031 Lima Mac Generator?

    suggest selling that on Craigslist or FB, someone might want to build a Generator driven by a windmill or something stupid like that.

    No clue what it was for but it’s definitely made out of a very cut up M100 trailer.

    6.5 Turbo Questions

    The ECM for the 6.5 which processes all the inputs from throttle position, crank position, etc and controls the troublesome Stanadyne injection pump is not exactly something that could be easily plucked out of a CK pickup/van. I would go with the mechanical injection pump. A spring wastegate...

    Needing m750 semi trailer moved

    Folks to go down the interstate, this trailer needs to be riding on a RGN. Sorry to be a party pooper. 24 volt lighting, air over hydraulic brakes which probably need bleeding, and ancient tires spell DOT issues.

    New to the family.....M715! New pics and updates! Now finally finished!

    I never could find a shroud either, been driving 715 in Texas heat forever without it with the stock fan, no problems with running hot.

    Battery Replacement

    Probably group 31. But others have used itty bitty car batteries.
