    CUCV II Clone/New here

    Looking real good. I'm in the CUCVII clone club too with a 2000 former AT&T 4x4 3500 with 6.5. Porkchop has or had the impossible to find grille guard, ask him about it . . .

    Bed Frame

    That is for mounting a S250 shelter. If your truck is from the 1980's, it would be a M1037 shelter carrier without winch or a M1042 with.

    HMMWV Alignment Question - well maybe.

    If your tires are wearing properly I would not align anything. It’s an all day ordeal to adjust the alignment shims at all 4 corners.

    M936A2 Wrecker crane noise

    I think air entrainment. This happens when a seal or hose allows air into the system, and the volume of fluid expands because it is full of microscopic bubbles.

    Need help. M1083A1P2. Ukraine

    Check this module in the PDP, this circuit breaker provides power for the hot air heater and defrost. If the breaker is tripped, the button will be up. Thanks to many folks that have helped so far with this diagnosis effort.

    Need help. M1083A1P2. Ukraine

    PTO is power take off, power for winch (if equipped), CTIS is power for central tire inflation. Look for abbreviations related to “defrost”, maybe DEF. We are going to ask some active duty US Army contacts if they can provide insight into this circuit. This will take a day or so.

    Need help. M1083A1P2. Ukraine

    Welcome and greetings from the United States. If you post any pictures, be sure any geotagging is turned off, don’t make the same mistakes as the mobiks. Unfortunately we also do not have hard copies of the maintenance manuals for the A1P2 uparmored trucks, they are only electronic versions...

    differences between LDS465-1A and the Dash-2 ?

    You see the hp is rated at 2800 RPM, having driven a 656, I can tell you the Allison shift points are all at 2800 RPM, the engine seems like it spends a lot of time at redline.

    differences between LDS465-1A and the Dash-2 ?

    The -2 came in the M656 and was rated at even more horsepower than in the M39 5 tons.

    Conversion to Electric Lift Pump on HMMWV?

    6.5 Chevy/GMC trucks use the electric pump too, people advise you to keep a spare in the glove box.

    Latest M1167 purchase. Too far gone? Or should I rebuild.

    No brainer, put that one back together. USMC was cannibalizing it because it was the pick of the litter at CANN point.

    M151A2 MERDC Paint Source

    Suggest you visit a Sherwin Williams Coatings store and ask them to look up Federal Standard 595 and have them mix you up some FS34151 in the Industrial Enamel line.

    Hummer Ambulance

    Please just buy a diesel pusher and enjoy driving around and not being towed to repair shops like you would with a HMMWV.
