    M1161/M1163/M1164(trailer) Documents

    So if you have part numbers, post them....95% of what you listed is of no concern in my case. start creating a sticky with cross references for others.... The ITV was built as a COTS Vehicle, this is good and bad, as many components were from passenger vehicles and not specifically engineered...

    M1161/M1163/M1164(trailer) Documents

    As far as release sheet...I’ve been in the military 27yrs, never seen such a thing, at least not in my career fields, operator manual are general distribution items, not a controlled item for a ground vehicle, nor is a parts manual, especially a 10yr old UTV.

    M1161/M1163/M1164(trailer) Documents

    It’s an over engineered, too heavy, too complicated, drive like crap, under powered fiasco...the tax payers got taken on this one. The research will bear my opinions out. Parts are not easy to get, what you do find is incredibly expensive. try finding halfshafts and shock/air bags from...

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    You will never get a match on old paint, you will even have problems with a match If sprayed from different batches, minimal, but it’s just the nature of the beast. Latex house pant can be mixed to exact FSC standards and is a dead on match for CARC color and finish, the only draw back I see is...

    Non-op compressor

    So, I wired 24v to the compresso, it works...I get 24 volts to the fuse block, found the relay that the compressor switch goes too, it’s a 12v switch that activates the 24v relay. When the switch is activated, it kills the 12volts...I can hear and feel the relay opening and closing. I also get...

    Just purchased 99 m998 and can’t start

    It’s very common I get trucks delivered too the shop that have dead batterie, reason is, the transport companies inadvertently leave the start switch in the run position, kills the batterie, kills glow plugs etc... 3 reasons for a flashing wait light with that box, bad box, bad TSU or all glow...

    M998 spring length

    your truck should not have 954’s, I would put at minimum 1250lb in front and variables in the rear. But better yet, when you going to dump that old tired 998 and buy an M1123 at the auction? proves have never been cheaper....I’ve picked up Damn near new M1123’s with 27 miles on them for under $10k
