Has anyone come up with a standalone outlet panel/ power distribution panel with 120V/240V outlets and respective circuit breakers to wire directly to the output lugs on the MEP generators? We use our MEP-831A on camping trips and I was thinking about setting one up to make the unit more...
Does anyone have any info or manuals for the MEP-012A 750KW Generator? These were largely used by the USAF and powered by a V12 Cummins 1710 CI. The only info I have found is a training video on youtube. Thanks
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with the purpose built Red Dot kits for the M939 series? The kit I am told that is for this truck is NSN 4120-01-534-8699, PN RD-2-4530-0P. Any pictures of installs? I have a friend who just purchased an AM General M916 with the Allison and would like to...
Has anyone here done the swap to the 31 gallon tank on their Blazer? What tank and sender did you use? I searched the forums here but was getting some conflicting information. I'm seeing tanks for 82-86 gas and 87-91 TBI trucks available but no diesel. Can anyone say for sure or not if the skid...
Does anyone have any interest in RT-524 enclosure brackets like pictured below? I know they are hard to find and people were looking for them. I have one and I have a reputable company in the MV world ready to reproduce a batch to exact specifications if there is enough interest. Price will...
Hi All,
Last year I picked up a MEP-501A with about 200 hours from a friend for charging trucks. It runs well and produces power as it should. However, I bought it with the voltage and load gauges not working. It came with a replacement voltage gauge and I just installed it and nothing changed...
Has anyone looked into adding adding an M939 fan clutch to an M809 series truck? I have an M939 parts truck and I am currently restoring an M813 and I would love to add a clutch to the fan to free up some power. Would the clutch fit without having to move the radiator and grille?
Thanks
Hello All,I am getting ready to restore my M274A5 and I have decided to do the MERDC paint scheme vs the usual 24087/USMC green colors. I know Lance Miller did many of his mules in winter MERDC, does anyone have photos of mules in the other MERDC color schemes? I am trying to nail down which...
Is it possible to get a HMMWV Hot Rodding forum since there is already one for the Deuce, 5 ton, and CUCV? it is obvious a large part of threads will be on the topic.
I am considering a replacement for our venerable M915 (w/ 7155 CAT) that has slightly more comfort but maintains the speed of the original M915. From my research the M916A1 and M915A2 will not fit the bill in terms of speed, what about the M915A4 or M916A3?
Thanks.
Other than leaky O-rings we have had no problems with the CTIS on our M35A3. Went to start it and use the CTIS this morning and the control panel shows "Manifold PSI 00" before changing to a flashing "FLAT". I manually filled all the tires but still the same read out. Anyone else had this...
Has anyone with a Deuce or 5 ton cut down a bench seat to make it into a small jump seat for the middle of the cab? I am planning to put in 2 springer seats and build a center console for my M813A1, but I would like to have the option for the 3rd person. I have a bunch of standard bench seats...
I am looking for actual photos of the installation of the Sprag cut off switch that goes on the lines between the transmission and transfer case on an M39/M809 series 5 ton. I have read through almost all of the threads and have not seen any photos of how it is plumbed or seen the MWO that...
Was thinking about this the other day, when was the Air-shift transfer case and air-assist power steering introduced? I am going to guess the T case came first and was more widely adopted then the power steering.
Thanks
Recently picked up an USMC M813A1. Trying to register it but the USMC dataplate does not give the manufacture or year. Just the USMC# which I am presuming is the VIN. Can anyone tell the year from this?
The number is 579463 and is stenciled on the hood as well as stamped on the dataplate.
Thanks
Does anyone know where I can get Operator's, Maintenence, Parts, and any other manuals for the Oshkosh MTVR 7 ton trucks? I will take any form, paper or PDF.
Thanks!!
Right now on a certain government surplus website that used to sell trucks (but lost the contract), there is now has a B-52 listed in the scrap section. Sealed bid.
According the Wikipedia, this is a B-52 that has been cannibalized to provide parts for other aircraft on display and that it is...
I am trying to do is complete my buyers number list from the Littlefield Auction, I need the numbers from lots: 1001-1051, 1068-1072, 1080-1084, 1108, 5002. If you can help with 1 or all, it all helps.
