Welcome aboard. If you go to the FORUM tab above and open the CUCV forum you will find a FAQ. After that you can run down some of the stuff on the GL (Government Liquidation) forum on the issues and concerns of buying direct. A little searching will find a bunch of threads regarding the...

There is a commercial lock switch that replaces the GI one-key-fits-all lock switch. Since some M915 series trucks show signs of lock switch damage (and you may want to re-key your truck anyway) you may want to take one on any M915 series pick up run. The lock switch has the correct number of...

Welcome aboard. I suspect, but could be wrong, that you'll find that the transmission bell housing will have had to come off a diesel engine truck. Look for the "J" engine code in the VIN. There are some folks who are pretty sharp on transmission here. If you post a thread titled about...

If your not going to bounce the truck off trees the type of guard you want is, I guess, a matter of choice. The slat style will take a lot more abuse, though. For deuces, the mesh guard came in two lengths. A full length one for trucks without winches and a shorty for winch trucks. I'm not...

As written already, if you are using an AC generator to start a deuce it will depend on what batteries the generator has since its 28 volt charging system is only designed to charge batteries, not to jump start. The gas 10kW and smaller sets with electrc start have either one 24 volt or two...

Hello and welcome. Please tell me what your avatar is. Lance

Gee, Mike, you're spoiling my daydream. Nancy wants a cannon for the front lawn. Everything she likes is out of our price range. I'd haul that home in a heartbeat. It'd be one heck of a road trip in my M813A1.... Lance Edit: Those look like mounted NDT or NDCC tires in the foreground...

Hello, James What state is Mount Holly in? Lance

Welcome aboard from snowy Central New York. Lance

My son and I have a couple of Swenches and I've never really thought about using them to torque down things because we have big torque wrenches. I'd guess that the torque setting scale on the wrench or the number of impacts would be far too inexact to use without a good starting reference. If...

Hello, Mike I think that breaking the vehicle part of the TM section down by family of vehicles (FOV) format by listing what the DOD calls a list of available publications (LOAP) would be really useful. Typically the LOAP includes the TMs, lubrication orders (LOs), supply or hand receipt...

Papabear, what I'm refering to is that the auction will be extended for 15 minutes from the "last minute" bid. If the last minute bidder had bid 14 minutes before the closeing time we would get to the same result with less time spent. I don't think it would change the price. It gets really...

Hey, Fredo, how do you know they pulled them to keep from flooding the market? Did they post a big sign? Send out a "We are afaid of flooding the market." email? OK folks. I know there is no shortage of conspiracy theorists but take a look around the auction world. Ebay is more the...

I'm all for finding legal and safe ways to make a few bucks with my MVs but I think you need to treat this in a businesslike fashion. The military uses these things in combat and combat support roles and to train for them. Many things they do with them are not transferable to civilian...

Why is it that these conspiracy theories seem to come in streaks? Almost every one of the remaining M44, and M809 and CUCV series trucks belonged to guard and reserve units. Now take off your aluminum foil hat, stop worrying about the black stealth helicopters you think are hovering over...

Hello. Good luck with the road trp and welcome to the site. Lance

There's lots of Jersey members. Welcome to the group. You'll find that since there are so many different areas of interest on the forums and so many threads each day the learning to use short descriptive thread titles will get much more response. I'd recommend you cancel this thread and start...

Very, very few tactical trucks ever got over 100K miles on them. The mileage and hour meters often don't correlate due to parts replacement but the mileage really does not matter anyway. The military maintenance system stress the doctrine of "fix it forward" which means, for instance, that...

Good to have you here. Good luck with the truck. Lance

Welcome to the site. Check the heater first...... Lance
