Got a "Cranks but won't run" MEP-803a. While checking it out, found water in both fuel filters, so I figure that I need to: Drain the 1/2 tank that's in the unit. Replace both filters. Pull fuel lines from the cylinders and drain the water out of all the lines. New fuel. Anything else? If...

Trying to get a tire off of a 5 ton rim. I've read this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?126028-How-to-remove-tire-from-MRAP-wheels But I'm either not applying enough force, or doing something wrong. So far: Removed air Unbolted rim halves. Removed outside bead lock. Put...

Seems random and not at all consistent. If you're selling ammo cans, model, size, count. Tires: Size, date code thread pict Yet, the best they can do is get the count of the cans. Maybe. It's like the process is optimized to mislead as much as possible. I contrast to the local guys who will...

Wanted to add a about 6" more headroom to the cover on my M923. Looked at dropping some 6" long boards down the bow support holes, but when I did it on the first set of bows it looked like the cover would then be inline with the exhaust. And I'd hate to melt a hole in a cover. Anyone done...

What's the correct air line size (id) and length to hook between a couple of M939 trucks to flat tow and be able to use the brakes in the towed vehicle? Perhaps my search foo is bad, but...

How does / who makes the decision on what lots wind up going out as scrap? Without going into specifics, if there's an auction listing some scrap that has things in it that are normally sold as non-scrap, how'd they windup in a scrap lot? GL didn't want to deal with it? DRMO made a call? Bad luck?

Won 6 town bars from OKC this week. Looking at getting them shipped, and could use some advice on how much prep they'll likely need. The quotes I'm getting have a pretty wide span to them. I can get YRC to pick them up and label them, and OKC auction services wants about double that amount to...

Anybody pickup a Lightweight Maintenance Enclosure from JBLM last week... Not quite doe unpacking and taking inventory of all the containers yet, but surely going to come up short a few parts, was wondering if anyone had been smart enough to get two and had some extras... :-) Given the size of...

Put a wet kit and winch on a M923, and after the PTO install things seemed to go pretty well. But before I fire it up and re-wind the cable on the winch... I looked in the TM, and can't find out if there's a procedure for bleeding all the air out of the hydraulic lines. Seems to simple to just...

So, the support arm for the spare tire davit is bent. Like this when I got the truck. It's the collapsible version. This results in the tire not quite being raised high enough when I'm pulling it back in. While I've been able to use a cum-along to get around this problem, any hints on how to...

So yes, I looked in the TM first. I'm putting a PTO on a M923 Allison MT654. The oil line for the PTO... From the TM, there should be an elbow w/ a tap in it at the return port to the transmission. Mine of course doesn't have the tap, but is a normal 90 degree elbow. I can go get a new elbow...

So, found some rust through on the side of the cab where the passenger window's been leaking. While I'd love to remove the battery box and weld in a new plate, the weather isn't quite conducive to that till the spring. So I needled thr scale off and can wire brush / sand for now, but am I...

Does one of the TM's have a diagram of the entire air system for an M923? I'm looking through the first parts one, and while it's got everything in detail, it's kinda hard to stitch all the exploded diagrams together into a high level view. Perhaps my search foo is just weak tonight.

Hi. Looking to get an M35, but don't have one yet. Not really much else to say. :-)
