    vehicle generator question.

    I tried to find the answer to this, but the pinout is apparently only provided in the electrical TM which I do not have. You could tell though from the vehicle schematic that two pins are armature and the one at the top of the triangle when looking at the female connector is field. Not 100% on...

    Dodge W250/M880 questions

    Any running driving 4x4 pickup is worth that. The 880s were full time 4x4 NP203 and the fuel economy leaves a lot to be desired. Your part time 90 model should get 11-15?

    Air accessories for an M939 series 5 ton?

    Excellent! That 1" air impact is a must have. Check out your local pawn shop for deals on these. Seems like these go home in lunch boxes alot.

    M1088 question ??

    I think the dramatic difference is because the old gen 5 tons use a 44,000 lb rear tandem. The MTV uses a tandem that is probably maxed out at 10 tons.

    LMTV early years, before 1996 'first contracts"

    Every truck got the driveshaft upgrade. LMTVs were not like M939 trucks where some escaped the ABS MWO. All were upgraded by factory techs, not soldiers.

    Air accessories for an M939 series 5 ton?

    Both the seals for glad hands and crowsfoots are 50 cent items from the appropriate suppliers. If either is defective or worn, the coupling will leak.

    Air accessories for an M939 series 5 ton?

    I use the Milton quick connect for 1/2" and the 1" air impact goes like crazy. Crowsfoots are good but a little more bulky.

    Fan clutch

    Yes. I wrote an article on this for Military Vehicles Magazine about 14 years ago, but I cannot find it now. You use the thermostatic clutch and fan from the H1, and have to grind the boss off the water pump pulley. I hated the dumb "Cadillac" valve engaging at 55 mph randomly and scaring the...

    The one item the TMs does not cover well is how to lock the differentials by "brake throttle modulation" aka power braking.

    New high back seats???

    No videos I know of. Get a 16" long chisel with a 1" wide cutting tip, give the rivet head a whack using the chisel and a good size hammer.
