    M135 - Why is my Transfer Lever Stuck in the Neutral Position?

    Is the Hydramatic shifting into all 4 gears when you accelerate? You can also verify the transfer is in neutral by spinning the jackshaft by hand, if you can spin it at all, yes the transfer is in neutral.

    Convert m172A1 to 17.5 wheels

    Welcome to the site. To answer your question, yes, tubeless rims for the 6 hole Budd pattern exist for this trailer, DOD has been installing them on fresh 172A1 rebuilds at Red River Arsenal. I have no idea where to source them however. Meanwhile, the 10.00-15 LPT tires are quite plentiful...

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    That aircraft paint stripper will lift the CARC. I attempted to remove spray can paint number stencils I painted on a door and the results were poor. It bubbled the CARC before I could wash it off.

    Windshield pivot assembly bolt removal.

    He's talking about the windshield pivot hinges that allow the windshield to fold down on the hood.

    M1088a1 wtech lll no power check trans light on

    Oh I see when you said you swapped the WTECIII you meant the keypad only. I thought you meant the ECU. That makes sense. Send your broken ECU to transmissioninstruments.com for free diagnosis. He can fix them most of the time.

    m1078 pinion seal fail pinion nut torque specs

    Sorry I should have been clearer. Bubble test means put a wet rag soaked in dishwashing soap or Mr Bubble from your kids bathtub over the hole and see if bubbles are blown. There won't be bubbles in the oil.

    m1078 pinion seal fail pinion nut torque specs

    After you replace the pinion seal, I would bubble test for air leaks on the rear axle by opening the oil fill port and checking for bubbles there with the CTIS on. The CTIS can't affect the front axle pinion seal as leaking CTIS air in the hub has no path to the center section through the open...

    m1078 pinion seal fail pinion nut torque specs

    Or CTIS seals leaking at the hubs which can apply air pressure inside the axle housing.

    Mounting options?

    Fast forward 70 years and the collectors of the future will be cussing all the holes you drilled like present collectors do with the mods that were done to the WWII Jeeps when they were surplused. Or not.

    M715 hood numbers

    Nope. See if you can Google image M715s in service and find a Army registration number, change the last two digits and call it good. It will be our secret.

    Experiences with Alaska ECU?

    Anyone running one of these to cool/heat your shop? I bought 6 of them a while back and am about to install on a leased building, BUT I am seeing people report that they burn out after weeks of operation and Alaska tells you to f off if you call for proprietary parts. This is the 5 ton model.

    Got another one

    Looks really good. Is it a 1031 or 1028? The door says 1031 but pintle says 1028.

    Assistance 1 ton service truck Miami, Fl

    Sorry about getting off track here, if you end up getting the truck, it will be very interesting to see if it has a GEP block, as GM quit making the 6.5 in '00. Seems unlikely that they would still have inventory of 6.5s to use on the 3500HD carryover model.

    M548 tracks

    I have the exact same problem as you. If the 548s came from Texas Forest Service, maybe they can assist with requisitioning surplus tracks through the FPP program. If not, get with beltfed on ebay, he may know who has some tracks stashed away in central Texas. If you break a pin, I have about...

    M998, 6.2, 3 speed, lost power and fluid leak from air filter!!

    Sounds like vampire. Empty transmission and overfull transfer will confirm.

    Painting a M998

    I would do what richdane reply 54 did. I dry sanded my HMMWV in my garage with zero respiratory protection 15 years ago and I'm still kickin'. The isocyanates are bad when the paint is uncured.

    Guilty Pleasure

    $32k for a 1031 with the custom aluminum box and 7 kW pto generator could be correct.
