    M870A1 - Daytons, luv em or hate em..

    Not to be picky but the LET used the 172 trailer while the 920 used the 870. Although I am sure the various components got all mixed up in service.

    M920 rebuild mileage?

    The rebuilds on these trucks occurred in the 2000s when these trucks were already 20 years old. It’s most likely that the speedometer was replaced at some point.

    Tires for M170

    No that is a civilian tread tire, to be authentic you need the 7.00-16 NDCC which is their sku 676467.

    CUCV Bumper Markings

    For sure the Army mostly used stencils like you say, but the FONT on the stencil needs to be “block” (like on the pictured CUCVs) and not “stencil” (like is pictured on the HMMWV).

    Deuce Recovery June 15-18 Augusta, GA to Austin, Texas - 1100 miles

    As hot as it is, it may be tempting to drive at night, if you do, put some kind of revolving amber light on the back of the truck so you don't get rear ended, this has happened many times to people on here at night with catastrophic results.

    Lmtv trans code 4413

    4413 is short to ground B solenoid. Supposed to be 3.26 ohms between transmission pin J and H at the transmission. And no continuity between either pin and ground. If checks out at the transmission, look for harness problems, especially where the harness enters the cab.

    Mounting an AC compressor on stock 6.2?

    The 6.5 was used up until 2001 or so in various vehicles including vans, most of the time with A/C. Those newer vehicles are sometimes hard to spot in junk yards. Anyway, that serp setup is the most reliable I can think of.

    Welcome, that winch was put there by someone after military service, I think that is the drag winch from a 5 ton military wrecker.

    M36 Survivor

    Came across this M36 “A0” on Craigslist and went to look at it today. If it’s a survivor it’s on advanced life support though. It’s a 1961 White with the OA331 gasoline engine. It was winch equipped until someone whacked off the frame, but the entire whacked winch comes with the truck, what...

    M6 Pedestal

    Anyone have one of these in the bed of your truck? My bridge erection boat had this mounted on it and silly me didn't even know it was a HMMWV thing.

    CUCV Bumper Markings

    Desert tan and 2". Block font not stencil like pictured. Typically they use vinyl transfer letters.

    ROTFL Actually Guam is a cool place, to visit that is. I think I would lose my sanity living there.

    Some deceptive photographs of the rear drive shaft, one pic shows the slip joint fully extended, others show it in the normal state. That truck has not run or gotten any love in at least 10 years. Like the rear window though.

    Just out of curiosity, what does it cost to ship a truck from Guam to Long Beach?

    1958 Machine shop Deuce

    The later 5 ton versions of that truck are called "SEORTM" or "Shop Equipment Organizational Repair Truck Mounted". Not sure if that earlier deuce mounted version was called that as well. The chassis would be called M46. Very nice survivor! Kudos to you for preserving it!

    M998 Brake Issues

    Unplug the switch at the proportioning valve, if the light goes away, you have bubbles in the system.

    Need some electrical help m108

    Suggest you look for concealed corrosion between the battery cable strands and the crimped on lugs. This will cause the condition you describe.

    Interesting find for M880 owners.

    I think that decal is available reproduction for the Mopar crowd. Stick it on the passenger inner fender and get it good and dirty and tell the DMV "oh I found what you are looking for!" On the data plates it does say W200 which is 3/4 ton. The front axle isn't even the most GVW available...
