    CUCV - air conditioner transplant?

    How much was it? It may be worth it to those who are 95% ready to install.

    Hawkers AGMs back from the dead?

    So far out of the 8 hawkers I've had 7 good to go after some time (24 hours per) on a smart charger. Two of those were at .4V so it's possible to save them but they may be at reduced capacity to some extent. Here's some info off the manufacturer's site to charge them, I followed it. Don't go...

    Multifuel Automatic Transmisson?

    Just to confirm what Jeepsinker said, he is 100% correct. The design for the TX200-6 Allison transmission was sold off to the UK for their FV430s and is under strict regulation from international sale. The LDS465-2 pump was unique and truly irreplaceable even if you had an A1 model IP. I know...

    MRAP Electrical Outlet Box Identification

    I'm assuming that MRAPs go under armor..anyways. I picked up this dual output 7-pin & 12-pin connector box off an RG33L model MRAP and am curious to it's purpose and capabilities. Finding a TM that answers this is either behind a paywall or needs DoD access (TM 9-2355-320-10). Any input would be...

    I'm in College Station and have a Med-Heavy Towbar with 1" feet you can use if you get a new bracket mounted. (I may be at the DPS/Tax Office so text me first if able).

    M931A1 Transfercase Issues

    I went out to play/inspect it again and she moved under her own power in low range; no unnatural noises or strain. I didn't want to waste the opportunity so I parked her on a gentle incline and shifted into high range and she took without the grinding. The lever was more ridged to move into high...

    M931A1 Transfercase Issues

    Brakes are releasing but I wouldn't doubt if they stick a little. As for fluids I checked today and they are good, minor shavings on the plug but nothing notable. The shaft lever moved between all 3 positions but takes some effort crossing in between them, it's easily the "smoothest" of any of...

    M931A1 Transfercase Issues

    This M931A1 has been giving me trouble and I fear the t-case is dead. Engaging any gear with it in high range results in a heavy steady grinding from the t-case and engaging it in low feel like it's locked up. I got lucky and manged to gently move the truck under its own power a few feet in low...

    Nice Truck Rescued From The Scrapper And Some Body IS IN Big Trouble !

    The truck doesn't look military and the bed is definitely commercial; probably a Knapheide 696J if not an older version of it. The reason I know is my M1028 came with a 596J Knapheide bed from the Gov and it probably got it when they issued it to a USTOC Contactor in 06' as indicated by the...

    So this just happened...

    Why not use tow straps in place of rope/cable/chain to winch yourself out? "Horror-Freight" (Harbor Freight) has 10,000lb straps for cheap often and I can shoot you some 25% off coupons. Link them up and have at it. If that doesn't work and you can't get someone to get in there then you may be...
