Does anyone know why our government has chosen to scrap the remaining HMMWVs? There are several at GL here but will be sold as scrap and demilled on site with supervision. There are to be no parts salvage or transferred, destroy and shred is what is required. That's messed up. I could see them...

I'm thinking about putting a 12 volt stand alone charging system and battery in my M923 to power standard automotive things. Has anyone ever done this? I don't see where it would be very hard to do. The toughest part would be mounting the alternator on the engine somewhere. The wiring, gauge...

Yay, removed my soft top today and installed the hard top. That's a little bit of work but worth I think. I had a guy offer me $100 more than I paid for it but said no, I prefer the hard top. Here's is a couple of pics.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to put this in or not. But here goes anyway. What warrants an EUC? This confuses me as I see M35s need them but not the bigger M939 series trucks, as I see them it seems very haphazard in their application. I see the same thing on the HEMTT rear units...

I live literally next to a base that has a disposal unit but rarely has any 939 series trucks come through. When they do I have always been outbid. This makes me want to know what shipping cost are. What are you MV guys paying to ship your trucks 800 to 1000 miles? This is a big factor in my...

I've noticed some M923s with full roll cages and tall hardtops coming through GL. I'm curious what these are modified for? That tall roofline looks kind of wierd.

I tried to find this info in the TMs but couldn't. Maybe Iwasn't looking in the right place but I figure I would ask any way. What are the gear ratios in the front and rear diffs on the M939 seriestruks? Mine is a 923A0 if that makes a difference. Thanks for the help.

I'm curious what is involved to put another fuel tank on a M923 on the right side where the rear tool box is (directly across from driver side tank). Do they have pick up pumps in them? Can I get away with just a switching valve and switch for sender? Will a left tank mount to frame on...

Pulled the trigger yesterday and paid for the truck I have been looking at. Markmontana gave me a great deal and is working with me on some accessories and a M105 trailer. His is a great guy and would recommend dealing with him. He readily answered any questions I had, showed me what he has, and...

If there is anyone in the Northern Utah area there will be a Military Appreciation Car Show in Layton , Utah at Layton Commons Park on saturday 6/8 from 10am to 6pm. This is open to all cars and trucks. Last year the only MV there was a WWII Willys GP. I am going to try to get my newly purchased...

I'm new and was wondering if anyone had converted the steering colmn/wheel assy in an M939 series truck to a GM tilt column with use of all the switches? I like the idea of a key start system and canceling t/s switch. I'm a mechanic and don't see a problem with the 24 volts as these are just...

I'm new to the MV hobby. I will be depositing money on a M923 this weekend. My main questions right now are what oils are you guys using in the engine and transmissions? I see the 10 and 30 requirements in the manual but are these just standard oils such as Valvoline 30wt? The truck I'm...
