I haven't made paint since this post. Walk them through the usual steps "competitor" -> "Federal Standard" -> color number and if they can't find it they're using the new system. Ask them to use the old one if they still have access to it. As for the HVLP thinning I don't have experience with...

Sounds exactly like air is getting in the fuel system. Trace your hoses and let the truck sit a week and check if it looses fuel prime.

Cats out of the bag if it's on youtube. :carnac:

Was the outer rubber cracked or showing some indication of how the water got in? Any spots in particular that showed the issue internally (at bend or something)? I have a few trucks with various low voltage issues so this intrigues me. One is an 08' so I hope the cable hasn't "expired" in that...

Ah yes, "Project Brutus" is on display so I can finally talk about it. I supplied that M1083 w/w (originally) to AM General among a few other things during development. They originally wanted to use an M1084 but went in a different direction when considering reloading for sustained operation...

The C7 engine doesn't concern me as much as the electronics in the module based PDP in those trucks. I too have that TM and the 10-1 & 10-2 for the MTVs which mainly cover the 3126 and motherboard based PDP. They all are limited on the trouble shooting for the new style PDP. aua

Ditto. If it's really stubborn use the gear reduction attachment and it will do the job.

Can you list the actual TM #? I have an ETM but it doesn't go into much detail on the C7 despite it referencing it in some sections.

Count me in. I'll be sporting my new "high speed gears" that I want to break it. :p

Wes got the truck running with fresh batteries and plumbed it to a 5 gallon jerry can to load it up yesterday. He jumped it at the starter to prevent any electrical issues as the vehicle has been sitting for 5 years outside. I believe it was the right call as there are 12v, 24v, and 120v systems...

For those who haven't heard I've come into possession of a Buffalo MRAP trainer built on an M925A2 chassis. I want this thread to document the unique nature of this machine and updates as I work on it (even if slowly). I felt this should go under the "Heavy Armor" category due to the extensive...

It's GSA at the Louisiana Federal Property building. I'd prefer to leave good batteries in it so unloading will be easy. I can guide anyone through the process on an A2. Timeline is sooner the better, 2 week window max (standard GSA limitations). As soon as it's confirmed running I can get it...

Is anyone near Baton Rouge that would be willing to get an M923A2 started? It will likely need the usual batteries and fuel prime to get it running. I plan to have it hauled but it needs to drive up onto the trailer. Thanks.

That's a unique looking truck. Here's a thread with a few more prototypes: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?49538-5-Ton-ESP-Truck

What's the difference between the E/U and F/U models for those who don't know (i.e. me)?

How long did it take you to drop the pan? Did you have to drop the front drive line too or were you able to work around it?

Doing some google-fu I found some info on the 3070 transmission solenoid body. "If 2.5-5.0 ohms resistance is not present, solenoid is faulty. If 2.5-5.0 ohms resistance is present, transmission ECU is faulty." This makes me still ask why Table 2-35 doesn't comply with this range and temperatures.

The 1078 I recently acquired runs but wont go into gear. The PBC (push button controller - Wtec3) is giving me an active code for 46 27 - Overcurrent, A-High Solenoid Circuit. Clearing the code does not work, the condition is active and preventing engagement. The relays in the PDP click when...

Cant go wrong with an ebay DMC AF8. I bought one and made some stuff to sell and paid for itself.

Oh you know how it goes.. Thanks for stopping by, hope all is well!
