    Storage Container Pricing

    $5 are likely damaged and the other may be based of % of purchase price that GP has to recoup. Just trends I've seen.

    5-ton ESP Trucks

    The Army toyed with lots of combinations of inventory and off the shelf parts. There are a few prototypes floating around with Cats in them, this XM956 has a 5 ton chassis, 2.,5 ton axles, with a Cat 3208, 5 speed allison, and an M939 cab on it. It even had a 20kw genetator in the drive line...

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    This was my renew year and I cleared in Feb without issue. The EUC items I've had since May have all been screwy in their times. Most of my May purchases weren't updated until July when I got Philip Hasty involved and he manually input them and almost everything cleared at once in August (90...

    electric issue LMTV CAT C7

    The PDP is different between the generations of A1/A1R trucks. All the S&S rebuilt trucks dated 2002-2005 I have are running WEC III harnesses with the C7 so we can work backwards there but the PDP is the module setup not covered in the ETM's released to the public so far. My trucks dated...

    Has anyone sourced a wire schematic for the A1R truck yet?

    I know that place. I know the trailer. Smart (easy) move. ;-)

    A1R winch rear fairlead mounts?

    I believe the A1R trucks are different as the rear rollerguard would normally mount through the tail light/bumper which is different for the A1R. I've not seen a A1R w/w yet.

    Those wires are just in line with each other, optical illusion.

    New FLU419 Owner, Electrical Woes

    I pulled the alternator and unit below it. I pried it open and it's toast, it melted at some point, but I found a local replacement for $39.99. I took the alternator to a shop for them to test and clean up and it's putting out 28v on the charging post and 14.9v on the tach post as designed. I...

    IronClad assurance on GovPlanet

    The "IronClad" insurance is only given on items inspected by an IP/GP inspector and for "visual condition and defects only". So any internal issues, water in oil, etc are not covered and is consistent with other members' experiences. Items on IP/GP without the insurance are either inspected by...

    Transmission function

    That was my initial thought but I've not had an A1 with a winch to test specifics yet.

    Transmission function

    Your original post made it sound like it would lock up on flat ground. Only my 2008 A1R will hold on a hill in neutral but only on an incline. If facing the decline it will roll forward. I've not tried to put it in R and back up a hill to test that hold direction. From what I've read it was a...

    55 in a m1070

    45 mph is about it from that machine. It's not cost effective to regear it so next step is to put on larger tires. Unfortunately 16.00's are already on it so you'd be looking at buying a new set of civilian tires if you can find something but you'd need to do the math on how much space you have...

    Transmission function

    Unclassified but limited to Government and contractors only according to the APD. The TM9-2320-391-23&P is what we need but it's an ETM so yeah. I have 5 A1/A1R trucks with the C7 ranging from 2003 to 2008 and none act that way. When slowing down to stop does it cause a sudden jerk or whip...

    New FLU419 Owner, Electrical Woes

    I got into it and my harness is nice, no signs of critter interference. I had some progress as I cleaned all grounds in the dash and traced the system backwards to find the voltmeter was hooked up backwards and now reads a clean 24.8v. Correcting that gave me power to the auxiliary hydraulic...

    New FLU419 Owner, Electrical Woes

    I'm getting back on it today. I did some deeeeeep google searching and ended up in the old SS archive that isn't searchable by the site itself. Someone had the exact same issue I have and when he pulled the air intake and fuse panels there were wires chewed up. I'm going to get into that to...

    FLU-419 - Instrument Cluster In-op

    I'm pulling the alternator to check that relay though I don't have an explanation why that would cause such a fault.

    LMTV M1078A1R - Battery Disconnect Reset Issue

    Overview Enlarged by Module - 1/2/3/4 There's no relays or related controls under or behind the PDP modules, it's a rather spacious design. The transmission controller is mounted underneath like all the trucks but that's it. I dug into the dash more today and started cross comparing...
