    Which NOCO Genius Charger for MEP-803A?

    "days at a time" isn't really enough for the batteries to drain down. Unless you have something in it like the remote start/ auto start unit, then that comment wasn't really aimed at you. My 802A sits for months at a time and has no issues starting up again. One nice thing about having the...

    Which NOCO Genius Charger for MEP-803A?

    For comparison's sake, in the civilian side of things, most home standby type generators use only a trickle charger, and not an alternator to keep the batteries charged. Difference being a home standby is hooked to grid power all the time to keep the battery charged, where a military unit is...

    Guess what it sold for at auction!

    Aren't those the newest series with the shaft drive fans and whatnot? Post 300,000 serial numbers?

    M998 with Brush Guard - any off the shelf options for winch mount?

    You could do 2" receivers front and rear. To do a rear one you'd need the one from BlackDog (which you should use anyway if you want a hitch back there as the pinball ones are garbage) and for the front Federal Military Parts sells one These aren't going to be as strong as built in winches...

    Best Radiator, and oil cooler source.

    One of the guys here ran the short radiator on his GMV after switching from 6.2/3 speed to 6.5T/4 speed and didn't have any issues. If you aren't pushing it hard then you're unlikely to have any real issues. They extra cooling was needed on trucks weighing 14k lbs driving through sand in 120...

    M1123 Radio mounting rack

    I used a cheap cup holder that bolted to the doghouse. Just peeled back the insulation underneath a little, and used a couple large washers to spread out the force. Cell phone holder only requires a couple tiny holes be drilled to mount it Haven't yet figured out a good way to mount the RAK-15...

    Help Me identify what this is i purchased ?

    no worries. I was lucky and found it with a quick search of the model number. Often times nothing comes up with just the model number, or lots of unrelated things, but this time was good.

    Serpentine belt for M1123 with red dot a/c

    Napa wants $63.33 for the standard version, $79.29 for the HD, and $145 for the RPM performance version. At $20 it's not a bad idea to keep a spare belt in the truck. I had an idler bearing fail recently. On a Saturday morning. Local parts store had bearings for the idler pulley,because that...

    Serpentine belt for M1123 with red dot a/c

    Then Gates K081102 or K0881102HD is what you want. The Sanden compressor for the Red Dot system sits further out than the dummy pulley does. Different mounting bracket for the Sanden/Red Dot than the GM OEM style compressor

    Serpentine belt for M1123 with red dot a/c

    Do you have the compressor for the Red Dot aircon installed? https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/belt-info-on-my-m1123-with-6-5l-serial-number-below-196901.199416/ You can also take a picture of your belt/engine showing the top passenger side where the red dot compressor would go, and of...

    Best way to remove rust from 24 bolts wheel?

    I know some people like the shiny look on the studs, but I don't, so after I do mine they get a coat of flat black paint. No rusting issues.

    M1082 w/600 Gal Alum Liq Storage Tank

    Multiple smaller containers will have a lot less surge effect than a single larger one, so unless you plan to have every single one of them at 1/2 full, it shouldn't be an issue. It would also allow you to have multiple points at which you can refuel, or in the case of the generators you drop...

    M1082 w/600 Gal Alum Liq Storage Tank

    It's a bit tall, and will have a high center of gravity, but I don't see why not. Most of the time I'd see the 600 gallon fuel tanks set up on FMTVs (2 tanks with the pump setup in the middle. My suggestion though is it would be much easier/safer to operate if you mounted it onto a low...

    2003 M1123 Power steering refill.

    If you flushed the system when you replaced the pump, there is no reason why power steering fluid shouldn't work.

    MEP-803a 60 amp connection?

    50 amps is 12kw at 240V That's the continuous duty rating for the breakers, wiring, and plugs, not the surge. The breakers are going to be a thermal trip type, which means you can do heavy surge loads on them for short periods of time without them tripping. It's done on purpose specifically...

    2003 M1123 Power steering refill.

    DEX VI is a little thinner, and GM says not to use it in power steering or manual gearbox applications. That being said, it's what the military is using. You might still have some air in the system, or might have an air leak letting air in. It might be one of the other components, but...

    Swapping wheels to fit on a U-Haul trailer?

    You will have to lie to them when renting the trailer, as the H1/HMMWV is larger than the trailer is rated for. And because you lied to them to rent it, if anything happens then their rental insurance won't cover anything, and you're out all associated costs due to breaching the contract. Just...

    Hydrolocked, big repair ahead.

    To fit a turbo motor into a non-turbo truck you have to add some spacers to the body. It's approx 1/2" lift that is needed, so not all that complicated. Then will need to acquire the turbo doghouse cover. Not sure if you really have to use a different wire harness or not.

    Help Me identify what this is i purchased ?

    The RL-207(*)/G is an engine-driven reel unit used with the 1¼ ton, 4X4 Cargo Truck M880/M-1008 or any larger vehicle to pay out or recover field wire or spiral-four cable. As many as four separate field wires may be recovered at the same time: two field wire lines from Wire Reels RL-159/U, or...
