    FLU-419 - Instrument Cluster In-op

    I've followed the TM and dug into the dash to identify this problem but no success yet. All electrical instrument gauges do no work with the exception of the high beam indicator and no charge light which are controlled by the power/ignition switch. The start relay under the hood had the starter...

    New FLU419 Owner, Electrical Woes

    Do you have any more insight as to why a faulty regulator would lead to this issue of no dash power? I have the same issue as Jon did but I do have power to the high beam indicator and the charging control light comes on. My harness is uncut/not-rat eaten so I've got that going for me. No...

    This is a heads up to the MV community and those who use Home Depot to mix their military color paints. I was informed by the paint employee that Home Depot is migrating away from their dedicated computer program and will be using a web browser based program to mix paints starting this Fall...

    Buying a MK23...Am I making the right decision?

    Take your pick: Recently released, not many in civilian hands. Not produced in numbers like the M939 series. Parts may be hard to find. Electronics mean complications. Not a lot of troubleshooting issue in the MV community for now. Most people think a 2.5 ton truck to be "big" then they see a...

    LMTV M1078A1R - Battery Disconnect Reset Issue

    I'm concluding your info is for the earlier generation A1 trucks with the CAT 3126 up to 2005. The truck I have is 2006 which has the CAT C7 and WEC 4/5 so it's a complete different setup. I do have a digital copy of the early A1 generation TM's but they've been no help on the issue due to the...

    LMTV M1078A1R - Battery Disconnect Reset Issue

    I have a 2006 M1078A1R that is having an odd issue related to the battery disconnect box. This truck is current gen so no TM help. Batteries are fresh, wired correctly, and voltages checked. Turning the battery disconnect to "on" will result in a satisfying click for power. This click sounds...

    Xm800?

    Can confirm there were prototypes of the ISL/ISX in an M939 series truck and they shared the suspension of the MTVR. I'm sure they were test trucks for the MTVR program. Past that no, the M809 series would be too old for that type of upgrade.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My sprayer is set below the prime pressure setting, it's almost on "roller". As for the camo pattern do an outline by hand with the brown then go back to fill in. Repeat with the black in case of any miscalculations.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thank you. I use an airless sprayer that pumps directly from the 5 gallon bucket. I've honed the right spray pressure just right. [thumbzup]

    Does GP now hose down trucks with paint just prior to auction?

    *** The Humvee sells with a clean SF97. This means the vehicle is likely owned by a private party and contracted for it to sell through GP.

    M936? Is this the right forum?

    No worries. I've had 2 M936A2 wreckers already. :driver:

    M936? Is this the right forum?

    Yes, correct forum. Everything you need to know is here on SS. I watched that one sell today. Drive shaft removed so plan to get it hauled and loaded. A few leaks as stated and likely bad fuel lines for the high idle rpm. Welcome to the club!

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Let the kitty-cat roll with the big dogs today. Fueled up and did some PMCS. Scale said 19,820 lbs. Heavy for a "2.5 ton" truck.
