    55000 Transfer Case Swap

    Awesome work, well done. Super useful info for my own project plans based on a different Oshkosh truck. What would be the estimated total costs, assuming the transfer case is not lying around and has to be purchased? Regarding the shift lever, have you considered having air-assisted option...

    "How to get a HET in life..." - M1070 Acquisition thread

    Hi all. I hope your HETs are going strong. I have a technical idea and I hope to hear ideas how to resolve it. If I am not mistaken M1070 is equipped with the two gear (plus neutral) Oshkosh 55000 series transfer case. The shift between the low range, neutral and the high range is actuated...

    M923 Transfer Case upgrade to Oshkosh 55000

    This drawing is for a ZF VG2700 transfer case (source). This is NOT for Oshkosh 55000 transfer case. I cannot explain this any simpler. What I am trying to find out is what is the shaft distance between the input and the output shafts for the Oshkosh 55000 series transfer box. At the moment I...

    M923 Transfer Case upgrade to Oshkosh 55000

    Understood. Thank you for letting me know. Do you happen to know the shaft centre distance of the 55000 series? It is represented by the value of 400 on the below example drawings, on the left hand side.

    MTVR AMK31 rear wheel steering - a kind request for schematics, drawings, blueprints and pictures

    I have collected it and passed on. Thank you for helping. It is very much appreciated. The truck itself was manufactured by E-One. He and I were not able to get from the manufacturer any sensible help regarding this particular design and schematics, apparently they do not have such records...

    Hi all, I have a favour to ask. I am looking for all the information, schematics, drawings and blueprints of the MTVR AMK31 rear wheel steering setup. I do mean it all. I will gladly accept all the info I could get. In addition, those who own one, would you be so kind and take as many high...

    Transfer Case

    Are there any other stronger options? The engine in questions makes about 1000HP and slightly over 3100 ft lbs.

    Transfer Case

    Does anyone has a tech spec for the 55000 series transfer case? What max torque is it designed to take?

    I have a similar idea but with so-called interchangeable "Body Modules" setup, similar to those described in Soni's epic build One can always dream :)

    Any Transmission Or Overdrive Swap Recently

    Forgive me if I am talking a total bs here but how about using a two-gear auxiliary transmission box in a configuration changed 180 degree. This means that the output shaft is the input shaft. So, if the auxiliary box had, for example, 1:2 reduction, the 180 degree setup would reduce the engine...

    MAN KAT US owners?

    Not sure if you are still on the project, I have not read updates for some time. However, if you are interested in making this V10 sing, perhaps get in touch with this guy in Poland. Whilst he is driving OAF 6x6 (Austrian military truck partially based on MAN KAT concept), he has experience with...

    Export of military vehicles (Oshkosh MKR18 LSVR 10x10) out of the US

    I have absolutely no desire to circumvent restrictions etc. All needs to be done according to the rules. All paperwork needs to be in place. This is also very important at my end.
