    M923 Painted (pics)

    The OP mentioned that he used Gillespie. It is available through a number of sources, but I have purchased it from RAPCO in TX.

    M939 with tac4

    I am fairly sure the MTVRs had C12 Cats while the LVSRs had C15s.

    M51A2 stuck sprag not engaging air problem?

    I asked in the other thread if his sprag worked. I never got an answer. John Winslow, a longtime truck dealer in NC (God rest his soul), used to tell me that a good portion of his 5 tons with sprags were bad. This often comes from allowing the truck to roll forward in reverse or reverse in a...

    M51A2 stuck sprag not engaging air problem?

    Good point. I was thinking more generally, but, you are right...should not be a problem running it continuously for a little while.

    M51A2 stuck sprag not engaging air problem?

    A friend once drove an M923A2 with an air leak and it burned out his compressor. Comparing air leaks is like comparing most things without seeing them.

    Cold weather and no start.

    Do you have two vehicles and two sets of jumper cables? Jump start the truck. As long as your batteries are not totally dead, and it doesn't sound like it, it should start. Then, move the truck to a location where you can troubleshoot/charge/replace/repair.

    Hello from MD

    Welcome from about 5 miles south of you! Regarding the latter, you are talking about an M274 mule. They are really cool.

    Allison transmission shifting issue

    A trip to an Allison dealer is one of the first things I do when I get a truck. I let them service the transmission, check the shift points, and adjust/replace anything they suggest.

    Hello from MD, with Mighty Mits and More!

    Contact Ollie Davis...OLLIED on this list, I believe. He used to have a Mighty Mite and may be able to help. He is located in Mt. Airy, MD.

    Gov planet 803a price.

    I just bought one in June for $1,800. It was a recent reset with like 60 hours on it. It came on the newer HMMWV generator trailer. While mine was fairly cheap, a friend got one of the two generator set ups (generators with fewer than 10 hours on each) for $2,800! Then, a single generator on...

    balance the tires on a 5 ton

    If your A2 has the counterweights, the CTIS should not cause the tires to be out of balance.

    Ha ha! Yup. Great looking truck, Howard. Glad you cleaned her up and are enjoying it! I'll let you know if I get up to CV; I plan to try to make it this fall. If I get up there, I'll give you some notice so we can meet up.

    SJOHN116, that was a very nice thing to do and a great tribute to a fallen patriot and warrior.

    Appels m916a2 hooklift truck

    I am shocked that very few M916A2s have come out. I believe there have been more A3s that have been released than A2s for some weird (to me) reason. I would have thought the older trucks would have been released first. However, I have only seen a handful of A2s released and I follow the...
