    M1093 - Missing Dash gauges and fuse panel is gone

    Better fly down and preview that one. The airdrop trucks all have cracked frames, cracked transmissions, and cracked engine blocks. That is why nobody wanted it to transfer to a fire dept etc.

    M151 - Possible first MV?

    Welcome. Price is fine. Don't sweat the carb/fuel system issues, these parts are readily available. On the M151s, body condition is everything. You want as little rust as possible. They all have some. Look underneath at the frame channels, these are unibody and things get ugly when rust...

    CREW DUKE on FMTV?

    Sweet pic of another 82ABN 3-319 abn field arty M1093 w/w M777 tow rig. I suppose this is at Bragg? If you ever come across the antenna mount dovetail piece that fits between the sugar scoop and the plate attached to the cab, please let me know. The truck in my picture has that same set up...

    Service Your Air Dryer

    Current civilian Haldex mentioned earlier finally installed on 915 slick. 916/920 is the same. Unit does not fit too well in this spot, but it fits. Needed a 8" longer piece of 5/8" airbrake tube to get to the tank.

    CREW DUKE on FMTV?

    Total height 12 ft 6 in. Not sure where to put it after this truck gets war pigged out, meaning no more roof.

    CREW DUKE on FMTV?

    What does the hive think of putting a CREW DUKE antenna on FMTV? This anti-IED EW coolness came about after my time, seems like you only see these on HMMWV and M-ATVs. Anyway, for $26 on ebay I could not resist.

    About all it can be is the PT pump. Time for a rebuild.

    Where can I find information about my M151A1 by using the engine S/N.

    Welcome. Your only hope for finding the true vehicle serial number or "VIN" is by sanding the sides of the hood and looking for the Army registration number, which on A1's built by Ford, is the same as the VIN. The engine and Budd body numbers cannot be crossed to the VIN. By sanding, I mean...

    Maybe a WC-12 saved from the scrapyard

    Welcome! What a find and the price was right! I have tried the property records search to locate vehicle owners as well, except in my case they wanted 20x value. To answer your question, yes, I believe the cabs across the Dodge lineup of that era were the same, but a call to Vintage Power...

    6.0/4L80E swap in my M1008

    I don't think this question has come up before on this forum. I can see why you would want to do this. I suspect you will have to see if the pulley/harmonic balancer and fan is too close to the radiator when you install the engine. If so, the driveshaft length changes are not too expensive.

    M1078 newbie

    WTEC controller is application specific. You need one from a FMTV, (LMTV or MTV), 1998 and up. Ask transmissioninstruments.com if he has the program for FMTV and can flash a non- FMTV controller.

    M1078 newbie

    1998 trucks are WTEC 3 transmission control to match the transmission. If someone sold you a 1997 or before dash harness, it is incompatible.

    German Made "Ben Hur" Trailer, Wheel Question?

    Suggest replace the entire axle with a lighter duty trailer axle, preferably with the same bolt pattern as the tow vehicle.

    Wanting to slow down my M35A2

    If the transmission is bolted to a OA331 gas engine, 99.999% chance it's a 3052. Will bolt right in.

    Is there a way to adjust my M813 door "forward"?

    Try bending the hinge leafs bolted to the cab. Make sure nobody put some shims under the hinge.

    ECU battery replacement and software backups?

    Fuzzytoaster where are you, SME on this subject!!!

    Are 16.5” rubbers really that bad?

    I think that rim size is a late 70's carryover. Back then, 16.5 was common on pickups. Military carried the size along with the rest of the HMMWV heritage items (6.2/6.5 etc). I believe Goodyear and BF Goodrich know these tires are relied upon by our warfighters and hopefully put their best...

    Considering an M916A1

    Investgate the top speed, the A1 is a bit of a slowpoke. Parts can be problematic too.
