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.

Looking very very good, someone did what appears to be an excellent paint job on it.

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.

The sponson more or less has to take the weight of the troop seat with 4 guys sitting on it, so yes, you should be good.

If you can, please try to support American manufacturers such as Truck-lite and JW Speaker. Rather than the PRC.

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.

Cmon guys, everyone knows that is the pull starter! Someone post a link to the YouTube vid on how it works

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.

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...

Something is way off with the engine, it should sound a smooth as a sewing machine.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Did they drill a new hole in your tank? There already is one hole for the drain plug.

Ha that is the 1985 version of the TM, the caliper parking brake was just a twinkle in some AM General engineer's eye at that point, the page you pictured is the awful driveshaft parking brake that was in use 1984-89 ish. Find one of the later dated TMs on this site for info on the newer brake.

I vaguely remember that SB is not about installing the actual tirdown eyes etc, it is about installing the steel cable/turnbuckle/hook assy and how to fabricate a 2x6 spacer to lift the shelter 1.5” to clear the bed sides.
