    Oshkosh wins JLTV Contract.

    Tell me about it. Lets see Texas: lost the FMTV contract, Indiana, lost the JLTV bid, Wisconsin, won it all. Hmm, anyone notice a pattern here?

    Separating wheel & Rim

    The runflat is hitting the "air assembly", rotate the wheel so the air assembly is pointing up, you may still have to do some prying to get the bead past the air assembly.

    Repurposing Mep002A/ Mep003A Engines

    I would put a piece of 3/8 plate on the circle burner and make an interface plate to mount to the flywheel. Then weld a stub shaft to the center for your PTO.

    Fixing Bent Lock Ring

    Sometimes if they get a little spiralled you can bend them back. But if the two ends of the ring are no longer in line, or spread out more that quarter inch or so, scrap it.

    Is this an 880 Brake pad?

    Nope sorry that is not a shoe for a 880. If you can give us part numbers etc we might be able to help with an ID.

    Radio Equipment in M925

    Seems like we are not far off from being able to program a MQ-9 Reaper to fly a grid pattern over say ISIS held territory, and if the "computers" don't see a "blue indication" from a heat signature moving on the ground, well it's poof.

    Fire department hmmwv

    Interesting "tallback" setup on that one. If you don't end up needing any of that, maybe you can trade it for a poly tank? Depending on your water load, the heavier springs from a shelter carrier may help with increasing your GVW.

    Why did the army pick GM? With picture

    Ford had just introduced the 6.9 diesel in '83 and the Cummins in Dodge was years off. GM had the only proven diesel vehicle when the contract was being bid. And diesel power was a primary requirement.

    Abandoned deuce in southeast PA...?

    Do you have any cop buddies that can run the VIN through the DMV? If it comes back "no data" you should be able to buy it from the property owner and do what you want with it.

    Radio Equipment in M925

    Agreed, that interface is for MTS. If you think Blue Force Tracking is "a gps and texting system", go see "Terminator", the BFT is the beginnings of the fictional "skynet".

    Assistance with ID of Air Spring

    Hello D, Funny you should respond to this, I just now finally found the RH air spring assy reasonably on ebay. Eastern has the LH, which you can convert to a RH. There does not seem to be a commercial equivalent to this part. I hope I am proven wrong, because all of the 90's era trucks are...

    M818 better fuel mileage

    My M915A1 (essentially the same engine turbocharged to 400 hp) cannot break out of 7 mpg bobtail at 55 mph (2100 RPM). It has no transfer case drag etc. So 10 mpg is hopeless for this engine at freeway speeds.

    Weekend Trip with CUCV

    Sounds like all that happened is your passenger side alternator's voltage regulator failed full output and cooked the battery and the alternator. The engine power issue is most likely filters. Glad you made it home. Not sure why your hood bumper caught fire though.
