I'd love to have a 8V92, I just don't have anything to put it in!!! Those things make tons of power. I've driven many HEMMT's which are very heavy trucks and that screamin jimmy makes them all look like they're standing still. We always ran night convoys and our mechanics claimed they had...

Welcome to the club my friend!!!! Hope your's is as nice as it can be and I hope you take good care of it. I love the crane on these, makes lifting the snapper up on it's tail for an oil change so much easier and I have an excuse to operate the crane!!!

I figured it out today while working on the M818. The 800 series have a recessed pulley on their alternators like the one that you described as lining up with your set up . You purchased and 800 series alternator and that's why the 900 series pulley that I sent you didn't line up. Both of...

Renewing an old thread as it was most useful to me. I have a M818 that was experiencing sprag problems. Most notably, every now and then it'd feel like a axle had dropped out from under it accompanied by a loud bang. Each time the axle was still under there and nothing appeared broken. One...

Tanner, you and CUCVNUT have some unresolved animosity from somewhere that I don't really care to know. PM him some contact info, ya'll curse each other out and be done with it. You posted your opinion, he doesn't seem to like any of your advice or your signature line. I'll get involved with...

The flaps are fine, the tubes are different. That difference even goes as picky as to whether your running 11 NDT's or 11 Radials. The Radials require a different tube as they normally run higher tire pressures and need to be slightly more robust.

you've got a fuel line leaking somewhere. It may not be a bad enough leak to spill fuel but it's bad enough to allow air to seep in when the truck is not running. I've been there before, I suspect the hard plastic lines!!!

aua OK, now I'll ask if we can all get along. If ya'll don't agree with one another, don't read each other's opinions or posts. An internet forum is a not really a good medium to channel your anger through, PM each other your phone numbers, call, talk or curse each other out and let it be...

They look just the same as any other M1028 once the fire extinguisher is removed. Search NOS USMC M1028 on here, you'll see the pics. Mine happens to be 1 of 3 that was kept in Norway for about 20 years and only had 2189 miles on it in it's first picture.

I found one in my backyard, no armored cab, came from Leonard Wood and has about 1300 hours and about 22,000 miles. Be careful driving it without the rear body unit as it is like riding a mechanical bull at a dive bar and it is capable of flipping over on it's nose if you jam the brakes while...

Not sure where that came from. I almost wanted to play Dr. Phil for a moment and ask if we could "all just get along". Anyhow, more to my input on this. All HMMWV's with a 6.5 that I've seen run the gears. Uncle Sam does tend to waste money but he also is a fan of reliability. I do agree...

You're FDC is most certainly bypassed, can't tell from pics about the flame heater. You're getting fuel into the oil from the hydraulic head. At 2600 RPM and full throttle, it has to fight a maximum of 80 PSI of fuel from the primary pump "feeding" the injectors. At idle, I want to say it's...

Oshkosh MK 36 MTVR Wrecker has Cat C-12 with 425HP, 1250LB FT Cable connected remote, 1 for MHC Crane and outriggers, 1 for Rear Spade and retrieval winches. Auto Trans for those that like it. Jake Brake with Low, Medium and High Settings. CTIS that works. Air Ride Driver's seat. 65 MPH at 2100...

The OP will likely crap his pants when he comes down there to get it!!!!

When I was out at the National Training Center in CA back in the 80's we unloaded vehicles at the railhead in Irmo (just south of NTC) He said "if you think that's impressive you should see what is stored under the mountains around here". I don't know if he was yanking our chains or not...

Found a crutch. We have an old GM Diesel guy at the base. He said it's quite a common problem to have a pintle stick open on occasion and cause the dribble. His cure, pour 2 gallons of PE 10 Preservative Oil into an almost full tank of fuel. You could easily hear the change when the motor...

As for Guard units with CUCV's, I've not seen one in GA for quite some time. We turned our only CUCV in, a M1009, about 2 years ago. Some are still being used on larger installations by "Observer Controller's" during training evolutions by Senior NCO's since they certainly look different than...

OP, it happens. I bought my personal deuce for $1045 from GL. 130 miles away, I did a preview. Here's the bad, batteries were dead, no cover or bows for the cargo area, leaking axle seal, D Turbo. Here's the good, it ran fine with new batteries, made the trip home, had 3/4 of a tank of old...

Because you can, they look tougher and you want to since you started the thread!!! I'm staying with the duels even though I don't need the capacity, they just look mean don't they. I may even switch to 395's on the front since they're supposed to be about the same OD.

Imagine if you had let applied those brakes in a puddle of water. When you let off, what happens. The brake chamber diaphragm returns and draws in whatever is available. If you never plan to take the truck off road or in water, sure let the air chamber's exhaust under the truck. I'd leave it...
