I've been tearing through my M151A2 learning everything that I can, reading the TM's, etc. I have everything working as it should except one thing... The windshield washer fluid won't squirt out onto the windshield. I have verified that the lines are not plugged and nozzle assembly on the hood...
I have an M35A3 that the kids love to ride in. They are only 6 and 8 so I'm in a different situation than you, but they "help" me with the truck all the time. I recently aquired an M151A2 so we would have something smaller to tinker with. Priceless times for sure.
Where did you get your power steering pump? I had a hose fail and lost fluid while out driving Friday. Now the pump is making some nasty noise. I see that Kascar has them, just curious if there are any available locally.
About 6 months ago, I was a Wright Patterson and Israel had a bunch reserved for them. I don't know what the sale price is.....
I have been pricing them as well to buy one. Sad thing is that if I sold the MV's that I have, I'd be close to having the cash :)
I wish it was a personal vehicle. These are for the agency I work for. The DLA has a law enforcement program where the surplus vehicles can be signed over to LE agencies at no cost. You do have to turn them in when no longer wanted. The surplus ones that LE agencies do not claim are destroyed...
Yes Chris was great. A lot more laid back then other DLA places I have been for parts and/or vehicles. It was a long drive back, but enjoyable in the nice weather. Sunburned left arm :)
I picked this one up at Fort Dix, NJ and drove it 400 miles (8.5hrs) to Ohio. Ran like a top at 55MPH and didn't burn a drop of oil. Stopped frequently to check everything. It's going to join the other 3 already in the fleet after some paint work. I don't think the aluminum body was prepped...
I'm new to this MV thing. I haven't been to any of these. What goes on at these? Parts and things for sale? People displaying their MV's? Can you just show up and look around, or do you have to bring an MV?
I want to come, possibly bring my 6 and 8 year old.
I have two MV's: M35A3 and a...
Thanks! That's what I thought from looking at the TM, but the black and white pictures arent that good. I got some parts from you guys last week. Top notch!
I found a thread over at another forum with good pictures for anyone interested:

I need the radiator type clamps that hold the rubber portion on to the metal pipe and air cleaner.
I just placed an order from TNJ Murray yesterday and didn't see them. I should have called.... I ordered online.
Thanks for the heads up. I will surely need something else and will order them...
Anyone have a source for the clamps that hold the rubber portion of the fording snorkel on the intake and the snorkel itself? Looking for original parts.
Can't wait for the weather to break for some driving!!
