Finished this one today from top to bottom. BAE went through it in 2007 and I in 2022. With a little body work and paint it could pass for a rebuilt truck.
My M113A4 is vehicle #1 made of the A4 family, the most recent domestic production M113. It was the proof of concept and tooling vehicle at the BAE factory and was never in Uncle Sam's hands. It was one of six initial vehicle produced and the only one left intact of that bunch. Three were sent...
Texas also has a requirement that a vehicle be weighed if suspected to be over 10,000 lbs if the title doesn't state it or are applying for a bonded title. It's not a big deal and doesn't apply to this situation obviously but they will still require a weight slip if the title has "vin waved"...
If it's over 25 years old it will require a vehicle appraisal form (VTR-125). It must be valued for $4000 minimum or the bond will be denied. If you need guidance and/or a appraisal you can reach out to me. What everyone has said is factual about getting an auto theft inspector to look at the...
I got this one back into fighting shape and wow.. it has power. Someone must have been in the pump because my GPS clocked 71 mph as did my follow car. Yellow isn't my choice of color but it's a decent paint job at least.
Oh please... Mr. Toaster was my father. :p What ever name you want.
Attached is the location of "N Solenoid"
P/N 29507451 .SOLENOID,ELECTRICAL (N SOLENOID)
Quick google search found one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/223747169628
I believe the unit is around 65 lbs. You need 3 hands to do it as the...
That's correct if you're pulling it. It's not so much a pan as it's the full valve body for the transmission. You'll need to drain it and pull the filters to get as much out as you can. You will make a mess after draining it.. so be prepared. I highly recommend pulling the front drive shaft and...
You're in the prime position to open the TM 9-2320-365-20-2 page 2-1360 and follow the trouble shooting steps to get to know your vehicle. It's a great guide with pictures to point out parts and problems. It's probably better than we can direct you on the forum here but we can try still.
I'd...
The odds are not in your favor for putting it on the road in general but it's possible with a good fight. California is your least likely state to get approval baring Colorado which banned MVs for on-road use all together. The issue isn't its size or basic turn signals or etc.. emissions is a...
I had this issue on a M1085A1 yesterday. Turn on the battery disconnect switch and start tracing voltage from the batteries through the physical disconnect and remote disconnect then up to the PDP. I'm 4 for 4 on bad remote disconnect boxes failing internally and allowing weird voltage through...
TM P/N: 277056 which translates to the following: KN86020, 1298894H91, 1655043, 277056, 280688C91, 5106141, 5131511, 5145614, 4310-00-778-8072, 00-778-8072, 4310007788072, 007788072
KN86020 is the most recent number and the cheapest I found by quick search is below...
I watched most of these trucks sit and rot at Ft Hood for years. They'd get forked from area to area for inventory then forked again for demil. I mean.. it's tempting to get a running beater HMMWV for this cheap when you factor in shipping. I like the 1152 and 1165 better.
Speaking from personal observation and direct conversation with others, the M-39 series truck (M51, M52, M54, etc) are all "old" and out classed by many generations of 5 tons (M809, M939, MTV) if compared by modern performance standards. They've been released from active service for decades so...
