    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Revived this M930A2. A rare truck for sure and worth the effort. Auction listing states: Doesn't start - false, dead batteries. Doesn't run - false, bad fuel line. Transmission doesn't engage - false, see above. No keys - true! Bonus: all the red wasps you can catch!

    CUCV2/CUCV-II Owners, post pics and info of your truck

    Not to highjack threads but did the exhaust smell like diesel when cranking?

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    What are they asking for it? I'm picking up 3 this week but I want the cleanest one for my build (if price is reasonable).

    CUCV2/CUCV-II Owners, post pics and info of your truck

    I appreciate that. I wish there was more support for these units. I've got a crank no start situation and no shop will touch it.

    MTVR engine ECM

    2019A works for the FMTV and should for the MTVR. As long as the program is more up to date than the flash file (rule of thumb) you're in good shape. Odds are the specific flash files for our trucks haven't received updates in many years.

    Newbie Alert! New LMTV in DFW

    Ahhh.. Berend's truck. I swear I saw that one sell in Puerto Rico some time back. Good score on a rare truck indeed.

    Thoughts on removing coil springs on A1R

    You're thinking reductive solutions. Be positive. This is the opportunity for hillbilly armor! :p

    Thoughts on removing coil springs on A1R

    I don't have much difference in the ride quality on my A1R trucks. They are quieter without the bounce of the air bags and frankly it doesn't throw my drink around as much when driving. Generaldisorder has some good insight about the shocks (above). It's nature of the beast until you're willing...

    3116 vs 3126 with exhaust brake

    I had one more that sold in July. A1R trucks are very few and far between, especially MTV (6x6) variants. There's a M1085A1R for sale on facebook market plate right now for $49,999.

    I'd like a copy of this list too if able.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    It's an A1R so it has the heavier coil over suspension and the HIAB crane in place of the Grove crane. There must be a lot more to the HIAB since it's a direct point lift crane. Also, I'm getting fat. rofl

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Took the M1084A1R out to get a scale/weight ticket to satisfy the State of Texas's new requirement for vehicles over 10,000 lbs to have a weight on their title. She clocked in at just over 28,000 lbs. That's a lot more than I was expecting. :oops:

    MV of the month August 2024 nomination

    I'll put my M915A4R2 in the running this month.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I had this M1093A1R in the back of my motor pool for a while and a customer inquired about it. Fresh batteries and a PBC (push button controller) and it rolled out of its hole. Minor issues to tend to but a MTV with factory A/C. Egads! I want A/C in my truck now.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Repaired, painted, and took this M1089 beauty out for a QT drink. This has been my most challenging job yet due to the complexity up inside the frame and the multiple surfaces. It's a good truck and is for sale soon.

    M929 Won’t Start

    You should contact Doug at Memphis Equipment since he was your POC for the truck and the modifications. We here are just shooting in the dark based on basic operations of the solenoid. Who knows what they did to convert it.. :unsure:. If anything you can screw in the fuel shutoff solenoid and...

    Help on how to obtain title

    The SF-97 is a dead-end for you. Only the first buyer/recipient of the truck from the government can file for it and it's non-transferable. You will need to file for a bonded title. I just googled "Michigan vehicle bonded title" and got this. It's a process but it will get you legal...
