    M931 DOT Inspection questions.

    For your truck, you need to bring it to a DOT inspection station, not one for cars and pickups. You will also need to apply for a TXDMV number and a USDOT number for the truck. If you convert the tractor to a flatbed, you will need Texas Truck plates for the GVW of a 5 ton, which is empty wt...

    Welcome and congrats on entering the HMMWV prototype club. I have AM General's #16. There was an article in Popular Mechanics 1984 I think it is that has info on all three.

    My M880 Thread (pics plus bonus M882)

    Last couple of GSA ex-VFD trucks I have bought, I have managed to track down what VFD they came from and made contact with the dept. Lots of war stories. "That truck single-handedly extinguished a 100 acre wildfire . . ." Part of the truck's provenance I guess.

    GMC transfer case

    A1's got the C7 engine, some got hydraulic front brakes. Axle ratio is unchanged. What other changes were made that you know of?

    My M880 Thread (pics plus bonus M882)

    My guess it had a slide in brush truck tank unit with a small gas engine. The bed power was to crank the engine. The front sprayers would be to suppress on the fly. Looks like yours was a base 880? Didn't get bo lights or 24 volt kits.

    Transmission and transfer options for 818 (809 series.)

    Mating the MD3070 to the ancient 250 will be a nightmare. Sell the 818 and buy a MTV for the same money.
