    Question about turn signal wiring

    The turn signal box had screw terminal connections on top, and the wires connecting to it had ring terminals. I recall that box being under the hood near the steering column? Or was that the 715?

    MRAP parts identification

    Consensus seems to be that a ETM on the Caiman II was never released by BAE prior to the Sealy plant closure. Everything went in the trash. The Meritor axles are not supported either. Great looking rig!

    MRAP parts identification

    Please let us know if that fixes it. There are numerous agencies here in Texas that have deadlined Caimans due to this issue. I'll pass on the info.

    MRAP parts identification

    Is it the right rear caliper? That seems to be where quite a few have the dragging problem. Appreciate the moisture diagnosis, that could very well be the issue. We noticed that the dragging would go away when the system air was drained, which is why I never suspected moisture.

    M1078 starter wiring Diagram help needed

    If you had the large gauge cables backwards, there would have been fireworks when you reconnected the batteries. Check that you indeed have +24 at the solenoid stud with a voltmeter. If so, the starter could be defective.

    MRAP parts identification

    First of all welcome to the website. Sounds like your Caiman has the usual unsolved dragging brake issue?

    I bought a 1998 Plan B M998 yesterday

    Are you saying they told you that Plan B gets trucks directly from DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) and not from Govplanet?

    Part crossover for the M915A2 with 60 series Detroit.

    12.7 takes like 10 gallons of oil, super common filters. If it really needs an oil change (doubt it), run it to a 18 wheeler oil change place, they will have the filters on the shelf.

    What happened to all the auctions?

    All those are still sitting there. Sounds like the GP guy is so overworked that he can't even get them lotted.

    tank hull for sale locally, maybe a M551?

    Looks like it's sitting on a single axle 5x8 trailer like you carry a lawn tractor with. Does that tell you anything?

    Can't believe it.

    A2, that's got the direct 5th gear 754 transmission right? Gonna be a long ride at the double nickel.

    What happened to all the auctions?

    The yard on the I-30 feeder road in New Boston is Red River Parts and Equipment, unaffiliated with GP. GP has a new yard on US 82 near the main entrance of RRAD.

    1963 M37 - Pre-start checklist

    Welcome and great rescue! I would pour plenty of mystery oil into all the cylinders and let things soak before attempting to run the engine. Valves can tend to stick open. When you do your oil change, stick your pinky in the pan and see if you have deep sludge, if so I would pull the pan and...

    Simp's Cat 7155 Swap into a M923A1

    The 7155 behaves like any manual transmission, except that clutch operation and movement of gears is done pneumatically, not with your feet and hands. The problem with other engines is finding the special flywheel.

    What happened to all the auctions?

    Read the FLU thread as to the frustrations people go through to fix these. If you need a machine to move dirt and not have to sink weeks of wrenching into, get a Case 580.

    What happened to all the auctions?

    There are dozens of these waiting to be sold by Govplanet at Red River. They are all pitiful having been parked in the woods for years. That's before the GP people start handling them with a forklift, then the real damage begins.

    What to do with an m656

    The van for the M791 looks like the same M4 expansible van that is mounted on the super common M313 6 ton trailer.

    We should export 6TLs to all unfriendly nations.

    Mobile Vehicle Inspector

    Wegolook does this. But honestly unless the inspector was an Army wheeled vehicle mechanic or a specific Steelsoldiers member, he/she will not know where to start.
