Headquarters, headquarters brigade 227th field artillery brigade (best guess)

When your serial number is missing, find the closest listing and add the difference in serial numbers to the registration number for the listing you found. Sorry very few unit listings are available. Check your bumpers for numbers and letters and post pictures, usually someone here can decode...

Take a look at the A2 PDF, there is BMY1018 with USMC registration 315414 which makes your findings accurate. Shows to be a 1966. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/carnacs-historical-vin-info-thread.193055/page-2

Yes you are correct your truck started life with 6602 gas power in 1952. REGNO is registration number, that is the number that was painted on the hood, yours should be 5161327 i think.

If this rig were mine I would remove the box and sell it on Craigslist to someone as a storage box, then cut the frame extension off and put a M35A2 bed on it, making it back into a M211.

I would reach out to the GPA MVHS club and ask them what the story is with this truck. website: http://gpamvhs.org/v2/ I hate to pee in your cheerios but I really think a club member attached that CPN-4 radar van trailer to the M211 chassis to make a camper back in the 80s/90's. Never in...

115 CSH is Combat Support Hospital at Ft Polk. You have a Cajun truck there.

Can you tell us how you figured out this truck is a supply mech truck for a radar unit.

If your engine is GM then I wouldn't mess with it. If it's GEP then get the newest US cast heads you can find. Since you have it apart, now is a good time to put the turbo heads on it.

i wouldn't buy that for a 5 ton. The worm shaft probably won't have the proper machining to receive the winch driveshaft.

Good advice. Had to chuckle a little about your example of "all lights not working", with our trucks it happens a lot that the alternator voltage regulator fails with very high voltage and blows out all light bulbs leading to very confused techs.

Those mosfets are rated at like 70 amps each which should be more than adequate for normal operation. My theory is they get blown up when people (GP and Uncle) slave off a totally dead battery HMMWV and remove the slave cable while the box is still cycling, which sets up a voltage surge...

That looks like the big brother to the GM 6.2 diesel, the 8.2. Says "Tractor" on the data plate, so it had a fifth wheel in USAF service.

Good video! By 1992 AM General would have been building the military version for 8 years, but the H1 was a new thing for them. The 4 door hard top the McClanahans bought in the video would have been $55,000 then. Same 6.2 with TH400 as the 998s. Did we all look that goofy in 1992?

Those pulse chargers seem to keep Hawkers going strong FOREVER, I have some 2007 Hawkers that are still going strong getting zapped 24-7 for years now.

Oh sorry you are right my picture is from a KDS black box.

Ouch.

Yes the GMCs are quite peppy until you get up to around 40 mph, going from 40 to 58 mph against the governor can take a while. You probably have the only M series GMC in GB.

M1009s never got MERDC so there won't be a TB describing it.
