    Brakes, Out!

    Suggest refill the master cylinder and bleed the system. Closely monitor the brake fluid level during weekly equipment checks.

    6.5L turbo vs 6.2L

    GP has not sold any turbocharged HMMWVs yet. The certain id for 6.2 vs 6.5 is the oil pump drive clamp in the rear engine valley, drivers side is 6.2, passenger side 6.5.

    Cross country moving with a 5 ton/ need suggestions

    I was thinking Ryder bob tail truck. To get a 923/dolly/van semitrailer combination to where the commercial vehicle enforcement boys leave you alone will be a huge chore.

    Cross country moving with a 5 ton/ need suggestions

    The issue with just about all military van trailers is that they are spring ride. Your possessions will be beaten to death. I have a 129 and it's dock height at the rear door, making for difficult loading. Ryder trucks would be my suggestion.

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    Try this for your upshifts: Just let off the throttle enough to remove power, then shift. Seems better than coming completely of the throttle like a manual.

    WC 52 oil in radiator

    The only way I can imagine this could happen is a crack or porosity in the block between an oil passage and the coolant jacket.

    M920, to keep or swap out 5th wheel setup

    An option is to remove the ramps and spacer and mount the stock Kompensator to the frame, and swap the plate to a 2" Holland. There is a old thread here on the p/n of the plate (available new).

    Turbocharged 8.3L Air Compressor

    Yeah, little wonder your compressor has so much supercharged pressure, your puny 8.3 has to run at 25 psi boost just to keep the truck rolling at 10 mph unlike the 400, a real otr engine. (Lol)

    Lexus vs M931 bobtailed, got rear ended

    I would have fixed the truck and painted a rising sun flag on the cowl. Americans had to fix a lot of military equipment after similar jap kamakazi attacks.

    Fun with PA DOT officer ending in putting me out of service + $1200 in fines

    I am always in agreement with Wes' outlook and experience but not this time. Doing a "I wont answer anything" traffic stop is asking to end up in the slammer. I was recently stopped by CMV enforcement for a burned out clearance light in my 915, I cooperated fully, was polite, and was not...

    Independent Suspension Caiman Axle Swap for M1083 6X6

    You could buy an entire Caiman chassis with the unsupported Meritor suspension from member "Midway". He has about 30 of them, Eastern Surplus has some as well.

    Axle noise? video

    Noise???? That is the truck making music. Between that and the turbocharger screaming, a symphony.

    Fan

    Welcome from League City. You have a MTV "Medium Tactical Vehicle" made a few miles down I-10 from you. The clutch in your picture is missing pieces and not sure what style fan that is. Get ahold of Eastern Surplus and have them send you a new fan and clutch.

    Except in the OP's case, the renta-LEO didn't care and left that determination for the courts.

    1008 CUCV 4 Antenna Locations

    The truck would be used at a comms hub with 4 identical radios, each on a different frequency, to communicate with 4 groups in a tactical environment.

    Thanks for the add, finally picked up my 1990 M1037 looking forward to minting "THOR"

    You may be interested to know that you have one of the only two M1037s released, yours truly has the other.

    Thanks for the add, finally picked up my 1990 M1037 looking forward to minting "THOR"

    Welcome. Where did you find a M1037? Yes you can swap out the rear springs, they do not deflect AT ALL with no shelter load.

    Yikes when did the Feds pass FMCSR 390.5 making gvw between 10,001 and 26,000 CMV territory? This is a F150 with a 3000 gvw trailer!!!

    I'm seeing a recruiting eye candy piece. Paint job looks Krylon rattle can. Am I way off base?

    Changing all 4 belts.

    You will need to disconnect the hose that attaches to the fan clutch.
