    M816 Wrecker Tire Conversion

    By far the easiest solution for a truck to be used around a yard is to go to a truck wrecking yard and get a set of 11r24.5's off something they are wrecking out.

    Welcome! If you have pictures from back in the day of your M123/172 combo with D7 loaded up be sure to post ‘em! If you still have fuel issues on your dump, check the fuel tank pickup tubes for rust holes. Common headache.

    Welcome, that’s a good pick as a first truck. Those year models were all used by USAF and saw light use and good maintenance.

    Nice HMMWV to say the least

    There is truth to this, I recall driving around in the late 80’s in a WW2 Jeep with a ma deuce on a pedestal mount and sure ‘nuf, multiple karens call the popo on us. The M134 or whatever that is on the door mount is a bit much though.

    Truck recommendations/advice thread - M916/M920?

    Consider that the newest 916 or 920 is 44 years old. For what you intend to do, look into something newer, like a 916A1. A MUCH better truck.

    Banks Hybrid Power 3.0L v6 hmmwv

    What kills this concept is where Banks put the battery. It uses up the entire cargo area. Most EVs have the battery slung low in the middle of the vehicle between widely spaced frame rails. The HMMWV has narrow spaced frame rails so no huge battery will fit there.

    Is it a scam? Gov Planet

    Auction trucks that have been “cannibalized” typically get that way at the DRMO “cann point” and not when in GP’s possession. Of course people can steal stuff when nobody is looking and trust me that happens.

    Is it a scam? Gov Planet

    Seriously? Nearly every HMMWV in civilian hands came through GP. Maybe a few hundred through GSA and a few hundred through GL. If you bid on and win a HMMWV from GP, and pay for it, and show up at the yard, you are going to leave with whatever you won. And yes, Yermo has to do a lot of...

    What to expect from a 3k Red River A2

    Bummer. Top of engine looked all buttoned up, wonder how rain got inside. It's a GEP engine, those are worth repairing. Mine had water in it too, had to sleeve two cyls due to pitting.

    Trans Oil Cooler leaking

    I’d be reaching for JB Weld. Clean it super good first. You could braze it too but that’s a pain.

    How does humvee trans know what gear to be in

    There is no military manual that describes the engineering of the 4L80E transmission, the design and the software is proprietary to GM, the Army just cares that it works and how to fix it. Surely however, someone on the internet has reverse engineered the transmission and has your answers, just...

    What to expect from a 3k Red River A2

    The second picture in post #11 is the S250 shelter carrier frame. Looks like the generator frame attached to that.
