    1977 M886 Draglink and PS Questions

    Technically, they are based on a W200. That should help.

    Banged up just a little

    Probably a CROWs, at least that's what I think. (Crew(?) Remote Operated Weapons Station - can hold a M249, M240, M2, or Mk19(I think) and operated inside the vehicle, normally seen on MRAPs) The only other option for that shape would be a GVLID (Thermal sight normally used by scouts), but...

    Denton 2018 Buy-Sell

    Interested in a 12v convoy light setup or magnetic (for the other M880 I own). and I'm game for some LED taillights if anyone has them (12V as well). Pigtail optional at this time. Also interested in some M16 holders, the clips and the base boxes. I will probably be bringing some...

    What did an M813A1 w/winch cost the government when new?

    Acquisition cost per unit. Contract can include additional things such as repair parts, manual development, New Equipment Training (NET), road testing, delivery costs, etc... All depends what's in the contract.

    New Member Question: Red and yellow rear placards

    When I was looking for them, that's what the guy out of Europe... no clue where as my memory fails me... would do so he could fit them in a standard envelope. Peeps were not happy when they arrived.

    Hopefully they aren't folded in half when they arrive.

    Dang man! Was hoping to hang out with you! Side note, put in my leave request today and approved. So, hopefully nothing comes up at the last minute to screw with it.

    Is there a way to trace a HMMWV back to where is was deployed by the serial number?

    When the government starts operating again, I will open a 2018 thread. As of right now I get to sign my furlough paperwork in the morning.

    Is there a way to trace a HMMWV back to where is was deployed by the serial number?

    Yes, just need to clarify. The information in the system is the last unit that had it on it's property book. Sometimes this turns out to be National Guard/Reserve maintenance or "fleet use" or long term storage. The other way is to physically , VERY LIGHTLY, sand through the bumper number...

    It's in the lines... https://www.nsncenter.com/Library/PSMAG/PS_589?PageNumber=5 This is a pretty common issue with the trucks. It was big deal in Korea every winter.

    Denton NC Spring Rally 25-29 April 2018

    My goal is to actually be there for the entire event this time (work got in the way last time). Be camping out in my M880, and enjoy some time off. (even though I'm on my 4th snow day of 2018.)

    1078 LMTV air brakes COMPLETELY inoperative

    They should, at 100% proper maintenance, but if there's even a small issue, it could be compounded. Absolutely 100% the brakes should be engaged with no air pressure. Since you're saying the parking brake is NOT engaging, then something is preventing that. Either frozen, or stuck due to...

    HMMWV Boarding Ladder Options?

    The only time I have seen a boarding ladder in relation to a HMMWV is the modified ones for parade/pass & review. those are completely modified vehicles and the stairs are welded in.

    I will be there in the M880. Might have the canvas system setup correctly to be able to take it down for the convoy.

    PS Monthly - 782 - HMMWV Storage

    All, Came across this in the issue of PS Monthly (Jan 18, issue 782, pg 12-13), thought some might like it as a reference on where to put stuff in their HMMWV, per the manual. On the legacy version, here are where items are stored: Pamphlet assembly bag: under driver’s seat Jack and tools...
