    M923 A1 Axle Question & Prep For Long Drive

    All era 5 tons have always been grease lubricated wheel bearings. Suggest you follow the lube order. Suggest you use conventional moly EP grease on the bearings, nothing "tacky" lest something stick together off in the hub.

    The Rise and Fall of the Humvee?

    The only part of the HMMWV that needs to “sunset” is the 6.5. Hell even the Russian Tigr uses the 6BT.

    Introduction and pictures

    The name James on the resp agency data plate is very likely from when the truck was in service. The TI stencil under the hood is definitely an Air Force only thing but the national symbol (stars) on the doors is an Army only thing. The arctic enclosure (hard cab) is also an Air Force thing...

    Introduction and pictures

    Welcome. Looks like a great truck to start with. TI can mean Technical Inspection. Yes the reproduction harnesses are high dollar, lots of hours of manual labor involved to make them. It’s funny, another new member on here just bought a M37 as well, his irreplaceable hard top (same as yours...

    Texas trailer registration

    I am not sure if registration can be issued prior to the bonded title being issued. The girls will know.

    Texas trailer registration

    No difference. Titling and registration are two separate processes.

    M917-7155 tranny woes.

    Couple things. When you push in the transmission pressure charge button are you getting the usual kerthunk? Assume you have at least 90 psi air to the transmission? Did you try injecting some oil in the air line feeding the transmission? Issues with the 7155 are usually in the valve body...

    Questions about my m54 5 ton.

    If I am reading this right, you bought this truck and the only parts you plan to use are the front axle, a rear axle, and some of the frame. Maybe sell this and start with something closer to what you want? Those 4x4 crew cab Internationals come to mind like what the fire service uses.

    Parasitic draw is usually the starter switch. Open it and clean vaporized metal deposits.

    No-start issue : Where to begin

    Check the cannon connectors on the protective control box, there can be corrosion on the wires entering the connector pins which can lead to intermittent continuity you describe. Starter could be shot too.

    Self recovery with one person, one pickup, and one M939- how to do it?

    Well what options do you have for attaching a military tow bar to the front of your pickup? I just installed M880 towbar adapters to the front of my Chevy 3500 for this exact purpose.
