    LMTV died while driving

    Check for power to and through CB42 on you PDP. That's power to your ECM. The ABS has nothing to do with the engine ECM so you likely had a related issue that tripped both systems. Start with the basics and work your way up from the batteries. I've seen cables chaff and melt from the exhaust...

    My 2008 4speed R1 (and learning)

    They do this little back and forth dance with the SF-97 and Battle Creek to have blank SF-97s presigned and submitted to BC. They get returned and they hold them until the vehicles are physically picked up form auction. Then they start the reassignment or title work process. I've had many...

    Do you own a 4 speed R1?

    I've had two 4 speed R1 trucks. One was an oddball with CTIS, tach on the passenger side dash, and more. Both came out of RRAD released batches of trucks.

    6.5 Tick When Warm 1151A1 2007

    I agree with this. Otherwise keep an eye on the oil, blow-by, and performance.. and just drive it.

    Can I substitute 450/80r20 tires for 14.00 -20's?

    You "CAN" but they're not the same thing. They're about 48" tall but give or take tread height on the 14.00 they could be marginally similar. The 450/80r20 is much wider, softer, and rated for lower speed by comparison. I bought a M1079 with a set of them on it and they scrubbed down to near...

    M915A1 4500RDS conversion

    You're treading into M915A4 territory. Big Cam I & III mated to 4050 and 4500SP. Check the TM's related to them and maybe you'll find what you're looking for. The M916 with Allisons dubbed the "M916A0E1" don't have any supporting documentation on them. I've had a few but no more.

    IronClad assurance on GovPlanet

    I was able to submit a form, photos, and estimate for repairs. They certainly put the burden of evidence on you then they get to make a ruling. If you paid more than $5000 before fees/tax/etc you have at least the standing to make a claim. If not then then your don't have the "IronClad"...

    School me on Cat ET kits

    Eesh.. that's not a good look for the hobby and this community. It's not released for public distribution so it means just that. I don't agree that these TMs should still be classified since they sell the trucks to the public but since when did the military care about common sense? It wasn't...

    Who got the GP M-47 1790-7B Engines

    The local GSA was able to pull 2 of these units from DLA before GP got those 4 units. One does look "refreshed" and the other was clearly a victim of water intrusion. I hope they go to a good home. Talk about a dinosaur (that I want!)

    Dearborn adapter woes

    Make sure to try all channel types, you may just have to do process of elimination. I've noticed some trucks like theJ1708 and others J1939 connection. Make sure the dual-link option is unchecked, these trucks don't support that feature.

    m923a2 fan actuator

    There are 3 o-rings inside the unit. You'll need to remove and disassemble it further to find them and replace them.

    True failure rates of the 6CTA8.3L injector pump?

    Your process is good. Go ahead and break open the injector lines from the injector before you start cranking to see if anything comes out. Even the slightest stream from one injector gives you the indication it could-maybe-possibly-sorta-kinda has a chance to loosen itself up and fire. Tighten...

    Dallas TX Folks - 5 Ton Insurance and Title Question

    What truck is it and was it actually made in 2008 or rebuilt in 2008? You've yet to share this info. A Progressive Commercial policy limited to personal use will insure you but that is expensive. Progressive may insure it if you bring your daily driver over, I've done this before too. You can...

    Dallas TX Folks - 5 Ton Insurance and Title Question

    Howdy IronhorseTX, I'm local to you and handle this stuff literally every day. Here's the form you need to register it as a FMV - Former Military Vehicle. The only things you need with this are proof of insurance and your choice of license plate or stencil. Now, insurance wise.. what are you...

    First M35A2c road trip!

    Judging by your pickup destination you're buying one of my former 1987 M35A2C Air Force trucks from Tinker AFB. I won't dox (disclose without permission) the owner's name but he's very passionate about Air Force legacy. The deuce you're getting has been gone through above and beyond for the guy...
