    Where did all the big trucks go?

    Could we get a confirmation on this "5 ton and up"? I'd hate to drag a 916 half way across the country only to be told it doesn't qualify.

    Miltope MSD V2

    Does anyone have a P/N for a HDD caddy and cable? It would be awesome to put a SATA SSD in this unit to bring it into the late 2000's lol. Are you still needing assistance with the MSD diagnostic software?

    Rebuilt Motor made it a mile.

    Who says that? 😅 That being said just slap a running take out in it and move on. At least you can run it on the test stand and do any repairs there before it goes in. A running take out is about $1500.

    M932a2 not starting.

    There's a black box on the driver side firewall in the engine compartment. Hit it with a hammer. Now try starting it.

    MV of the Month June 2021

    I'll nominate my 2001 M1089A1 (the one on the right :ROFLMAO: )

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Scrounger's M931A2 made it my way and I gave her a good steam bath. Now I appreciate camo in all its finer points but when you've got shag carpet on the fenders it has to be cleaned. :ROFLMAO: The engine and cab were clean from the start!

    Where did all the big trucks go?

    So I've been reading about this AM General contest and what exactly defines a "5 ton"? Does it include anything larger than a 5 ton that was made by AM General? We all know that they made the M915 family (yes yes they acquired CCC but it was made under their ownership) and they stamped their...

    I think I messed up. Won't start

    Physically rotate the fuel shutoff lever forward and zip tie it. Give the fuel hand pump a few pushes for good measure. If it doesn't start still it's a fuel delivery issue.

    Need crash course in M1078 LMTV

    What to look for when inspecting: Wet spots anywhere (should be a given) Inspect the engine block in front of the compressor for common fatigue cracks Check for the "oil line of death" as it's been referred to, if its been replaced that's a very good post-military maintenance sign Check the...

    Need help with Allison Pan Removal

    I'd weld it, replace the main gasket, and service the transmission filters while the manifold assembly is off. I dropped a manifold exactly like yours and it was a PITA. Go ahead and ohm out your solenoids too just to be safe (4.5 ohms is near perfect). You'll have to be extra careful not to...

    CUCV2/CUCV-II Owners, post pics and info of your truck

    2009 was my first MV purchase and it was all down hill from there. SS members are welcome to visit. :beer: The PMD harness extension is already on order. I've not found enough research to decide on which PMD to buy yeteven as a back up. I know it will happen eventually if it's not already on...

    Need help with Allison Pan Removal

    Take the transmission body harness off the transmission pigtail by twisting/unthreading it. There is a large flat washer on the front side of the transmission pigtail that you break free and can feed it back through the transmission housing.

    CUCV2/CUCV-II Owners, post pics and info of your truck

    I'll check the alternators and leads, I'm sure they're due to be brushed for corrosion control. As for the blower it's missing completely. There's a single purple wire hanging down near the empty housing that may be the hot for it. I'm still triaging main components. Today I rolled out the MKT...

    CUCV2/CUCV-II Owners, post pics and info of your truck

    Update 1. Batteries are "good" enough to not be considered replaceable by warranty. They've got 630 CCA out of the advertised 800 but it's 73F here so it should have been cranking near 1000 CCA. They have 8 months left of warranty and I bet the Texas summer heat will cook them. They gave the...

    CUCV2/CUCV-II Owners, post pics and info of your truck

    My 1999 CUCVII arrived and I've been doing triage on her. The previous owner lost the ignition key so I hired a locksmith to crack it. He spent an hour before asking permission to drill the tumbler as the OEM code on the door wasn't working for the ignition. After extracting it he said the...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I treated myself for once and installed new MRAP seats in my M1078A1R. These are the ones in the classifieds and fit well. I removed the spacer C channel which dropped the height about 2.5". Tapped 4 holes and mounted the driver seat. The passenger was a little more of a challenge as I had to...

    M939 winch install (Pics & Video)

    I managed to do some google-fu and crossed it over to a sub nsn that fits. I thought of fabing it but for liability and invoicing sake I found and bought one.
