    Looking for original Army multifuel research

    Some quick pointers: the US Military multifuel engine utilizes the hypercycle combustion process which was invented by M.A.N. of Germany. Continental Motors, the mfg of the engine, used the technology under license.

    What's a M149A2 worth?

    That's the one with the stainless tank. They bring WAY more than that at auction, I have been trying for one for years. Silly tires are easily obtainable cheap.

    FMTV Engine Oil Change Helpful Suggestions

    These trucks aren't the easiest to change the oil on, so I thought I would give some pointers, as I know a lot of you plan to do this oil change before recovering a FMTV to your AO. First issue is the oil filter. It is nestled high on the engine and difficult to get to. Most likely it is...

    Height reduced M939

    91.28" minimum reduced height on a M923. It is listed on the main data plate. It is an ordeal to take all that off and put it back every time you want to go somewhere. I had a deuce I kept in a boat shed back in the day, had the same problem, I would drive it around commando, with the...

    Mystery HMMWV Trailer

    Cool, looks like a pre-production prototype of the M1101. Can't be 1975, HMMWV came to life in 1984. LWHMTC could stand for Light Weight High Mobility Trailer Cargo??

    Just bought 1984 M1009 start issues

    Oh that's gonna be a nice one, I bet the PD spent a fortune getting that in-dash A/C put in. Better see about draining the ancient diesel and putting in some fresh. Truck probably sat for a while at the PD before they sold it.

    Photos of My M916

    Thanks Castle, I do believe this is how I want to go as well having suffered through a transformer-rectifier ugly failure. Did you use the alternator and equalizer from the M916A1's -20P, and if not, what p/ns did you select so we don't have to reinvent the wheel? Thanks.

    humvee M1113 ecv fan

    I converted to viscous clutch a long long time ago. I vaguely remember the clutch is from a 90's Chevy 1 ton, the fan is from H1, and you have to grind the face of the water pump pulley flat. I did an article on this that was published in MVM but now I can't find it. Sorry I can't be specific.

    LMTV Brakes Not Releasing

    Hello, have you tried the "parking brake won't release" troubleshooting tree in TM9-2320-365-20-2? That is where I would start. Things get mighty complicated under the cargo bed with the inversion valve and anti-compounding valve and on and on.

    GP would have to sell 50 units every business day for the next 24 years. LOL is right.

    My 1988 McGraw Pioneer Tool Trailer

    My take is Make: McGraw Commercial Model: Trailer 2 wheel Weight: 1500 (this is the empty weight which is not given, scale it or guess) GVWR: 3000 (this is the weight of the trailer with the original tool load) Does NC require titles for trailers under a certain weight? TX does not so a...

    M880 factory colour ?

    My 2 cents: I suspect the M880's factory color is the same as inside the cab, behind/under the seat, where sunlight has not hit it. I think Bikeman nailed it (see his thread).

    Great show! Huge haul for me at the swap meet: New Max Axe, NOS stack exhaust pipe for GMC deuce, 4 of Fuzzy's headlight bulbs, 2 cans of the American Coatings CARC substitute (proper flatness level) sold by Brent Mullins Jeep, and a nice deuce hood. All at a fraction of retail. Lots of...

    Registering/tags M923 in Texas

    This statement is completely unfair. The clerks have no instruction manual from Austin on how to do these FMV registrations. They do these very infrequently. You have to know EXACTLY how to navigate the RTS software and you can't figure it out without someone showing you.

    MV Event in Texas Nov. 21, 2015

    I'll be there. Perfect opportunity to stock up on Fuzzy's 24 volt seal beams.

    Spare Tire Hydraulics

    If it were me I would remove the line from the hydraulic cylinder that is not pressurized when lifting the tire. Remove the line where it is attached to the manifold. Put the end of the line in a coffee can or something. Attempt to lift out the tire. If when the tire stops moving, you are...

    Registering/tags M923 in Texas

    So true. In my case they usually cooperate when I tell them what screen to go to in the RTS software.

    Does MIL only use CARC for HMMWV?

    Old formula 2 part CARC has isocyanates not lead. All HMMWVs came with CARC from the factory. I use a palm sander with 80 grit to smooth the old finish.
