    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    What cruising speed did you settle into and what rpm is that at?

    What's your best 'that was dumb' moment involving your 5 ton?

    I did a complete rebuild on the front axle and put the hubs on the wrong side. Everything was buttoned up and I realized my mistake when it was time to put the wheels back on.

    S-250 shelter recovery - how best to haul

    Shelter could have been equipped for one of hundreds of applications, this would be listed on one of the three data plates on the door, which in your case have been ruined by sandblasting. Military likes to use these for storage boxes after they are obsolete, which can happen quickly.

    Tires

    They feel great and are awesome off road. The bad is that they have pitiful grip on wet or icy roads and they wear out in maybe 5000 miles.

    Is This One of Us? This Is Incredible to See

    Glad to see they did not have the cargo bed full of evacuees. But they did have children with no pfd's. The National Guard and governmental first responders were under strict orders not to perform these kinds of stunts. Call in a boat rather than risk evacuees' lives.

    I guess with silly kim threatening Guam, Uncle figured he'd help out Joe Q citizen with some defense hardware.

    Which M54A2 TM shows frame extension install

    Nope they are not, found out the hard way. Thread on this somewhere. 800 series is the same as M39 series.

    1963 M37 engine bearing.

    Looks OK but looks can be deceiving. Plastigage it to make sure clearances are in spec.

    Opening up my own shop, gauging intrest

    Great idea, one which I have personally tossed around for quite a while. There are huge numbers of new HMMWV owners that do not have the ability to properly fix/upgrade their trucks, just look at the upcharge people are willing to pay to "Plan B" for a fixed/upgraded truck. My personal...

    M925A2 overheating, I think

    Verify the part numbers on the sending unit, mismatched senders/gauges can read all wrong like you are seeing.

    I keep using the 50 year old coils and keep a stash of spares.

    Lexus vs M931 bobtailed, got rear ended

    So the "Lexus Advanced Pre-Collision System" failed miserably. Big surprise. Glad you are OK.

    M37 light switch question

    The way the switch works is that depending on what the setting is, the switch directs power to that circuit. Those switches are not usually repairable. There is also a circuit breaker built in to the switch. If you are certain that power is being fed to the switch and no power is coming out...

    Looks Like M-1081 LVAD "Animal Mother" 19SFG Mothership Is Going to Happen! Parts #s?

    I'm in for a dash mount. Great research on the source.

    which are the most used heavy duty wrench sockets on older 5-tons

    Seems like 3/4, 9/16 and 1/2 are 90% of the sizes on these trucks.

    My new LMTV is blowing water pumps and loosing alternator brackets!

    Very likely the problem. I have repaired 2 LMTVs that had out of phase driveshafts. It's easy to miss unless you look for it. Sets up brutal torsional vibrations in the driveline depending on how far out of phase they are.

    red's M119 camper and other uses

    Looks like that one has the roof raised up somehow. Dept of Energy did that kind of thing at the Nevada test sites.

    not a bad hmmwv roll cage idea

    Cutting giant holes in the B pillar makes it useless as rollover protection. And 911 is spot on about the backing plates, if you roll they will tear the nicest square hole in the thin aluminum. I would be embarrassed to show that "design"/workmanship. But they did prove the stock HMMWV is...
