I highly recommend you secure that loose steel in your battery box. If you hit a big enough bump/hole/etc. - anything jumps behind on top of the battery (especially those feet) - disaster... I am also not seeing battery hold downs? Same thing applies. Al Jones '84 M923

MIL-T-83133 studied the use of JP-8 in the NHC250. It works so the NHC250 is not *really* a diesel only engine... (ya, ya, running JP-8 is not practical)... Al Jones '84 M923

I have seen that statement in the LO "disassemble and lubricate front axle shaft and universal joints". I'd like to know how many MV owners actually do that. I'm not questioning the LO, but that's an awfully big job. My M923 has 6000 miles on it and I'm scratching my head if its worth it to...

The tool shown in the link above is for the A2. Here are pics of the ST-747 barring tool for the A0/A1 model - OR - in some cases the A0 that has the hole for the small tool. I found this one on eBay for about $50 - it's a Snap On brand. Al Jones '84 M923

Ya, I'm trying to preview too and John is not available. He's spread pretty thin over more than one state. :(

Pictures, man! How about a part number too? Thanks!

No IETMs? For the 5 ton?

The TM calls for GAA ("Put light coat of GAA grease on o-ring (Figure 3, Item 4), mount o-ring on water pump body"), but I like the idea of anti-sieze. I would think that would lead to better success down the road, especially if it's been there for years. Al Jones M923 that needs a water pump...

Thanks for the crickets! An IETM is an Interactive Electronic Technical Manual. Google it like Doghead says... The P2P is different than the IETM. The IETM will allow you to interactively diagnose while plugged into the vehicle. The IETM requires a MSD (Maintenance Support Device), so with...

No IETMs for the 5 ton????? I only hear the sound of crickets... Al Jones '84 M923

Does anyone in-the-know... know if the IETM for the 5 tons (M939 series) will ever be released? I see some IETMs floating around out there for other "stuff", but not for the 5 tons. I've found listings of the IETMs for MVs on various mil sites (like for example Redstone) and they do not list...

I just did exactly that last week. I pulled my dash light assembly and used the super fine sharpie (the one with the metal tube tip) and it worked great. I was super careful and the lettering looks really good. Went to do the same thing on the gauge panel and stopped after two gauges. It...

Smart man.

I put a true four bank battery minder on mine that I keep plugged in all winter. I use it intermittently in the summer. I also installed a block heater (30 minute job). After two to three hours plugged in, it fires like it was summer. I also installed a winter cover over the grill. Mine...

The TMs specifically outline how to do the zipper boots. It even gives the specs on the adhesive you are supposed to use on the zipper. The TM requires letting the adhesive set up overnight prior to fastening it on the knuckle. I followed the TM to a T, and they have performed as good as the...

It to support all the wires hanging under the dash...

This operation makes every other civilian use of MVs pale by comparison. I'm beyond impressed.:not worthy:

My bet is the numbers are there. I used a wire brush to clean off my frame and thought I saw some faint numbers but it was iffy. I drove it to the State folks and they used an acid etch (or some chemical to turn the stressed part of the stamping a different color) process to "lift" the serial...

Sounds like your front axle could be locked in. AL Jones

No. It's on the frame above the middle axle. Al Jones '84 M923
