    FMTV High Speed Gears

    $600,000 Caimans cut into little pieces. I guess the same thing happened after WWII with Sherman tanks, B17's etc.

    just picked up 4 mighty mites

    Also look for an x on the end of the front spindle shaft by the nut. No x means weak shaft that will break. Seen it happen.

    just picked up 4 mighty mites

    Unbelievable find! Mites are a lot of fun to off-road. Freeway not so much. I have been told to check the cylinders for chrome lining delamination before firing up an engine after a long period of sitting

    M916A1 Tire Trials

    I agree looks great, but to TACOM's credit, the stock tires would probably be better if you were hauling a 67,000 lb Cat 621 scraper, as the LETs were expected to do.

    Lead based. I would throw it in the bead blast cabinet.

    Trade a 84 936 for a 97 Hummer

    I built a m998 out of a burned unit and it ended up being an unbelieveable amount of labor and expense.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Can anyone elaborate on some of these Caimans having hydraulic front brakes? Is this an FMTV A1 thing with ABS? You can see the wheel cylinder pointing forward in this picture taken by Texas30cal. Also notice the unusual rear tandem suspension. Is this the same as MTV? The rear-rear axle is...

    M50A1 Ontos, good buy? Any way to convert to 4bt or 6bt cummins diesel?

    Have yours had the hull decapitated Wood Tiger style? If not there are plenty of museums that would love to have an Ontos.

    South Florida to Louisiana to recover CUCV-II at Jeepsinker's place.

    You trying to give poor Mike flashbacks?

    Winch on sale today.

    Guys thats a heck of a bargain. The HMMWV and CUCV use the exact same power steering pump so that is not a concern.

    M50A1 Ontos, good buy? Any way to convert to 4bt or 6bt cummins diesel?

    Originally had a GMC 302 and later Chrysler 361. The BTs should fit. Tracks are getting really old on these and may not stand up to much abuse anymore.

    1st Milsurplus generator buy..think I did ok

    Looks great to me. The tank sludge is a given on most. Funny how GSA didn't get the memo from the EPA that all the military diesel powered equipment can't be sold anymore.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Gears are like new, less than a few hundred miles. The axles themselves were removed scrapyard style using a torch and forklift.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    I figured I would pass this on since at this point I am 99% sure this is going to work. The stock FMTVs are 3.90 ratio at the differential and 2:1 at the wheel end. As we now know, this results in a truck that struggles with 55 mph. The solution is 3.07 ratio differentials available at...

    M923A2 weight ?

    Rules for TX FMV are "used only for parades, club activities, exhibitions, and other functions of public interest and not to be used for regular transportation". Somehow (for me anyhow) picking up trucks at GL are "functions of public interest".
