    M211 deep water fording kit

    I've got a kit and I have installed the interesting part of it, the snorkel that goes in the cab. As Butch said, the majority of the kit is the crankcase vent shut off plumbing and the dual cable control handle, just like all other M-series trucks. The snorkel clamps onto the dash air intake...

    Two group 31's to crank 855?

    Thanks everyone. My 915 is off the deadline with 2 new O'Reilys made in USA group 31s. Cranks just fine. See ya, 6TMF's!!

    Tried to start her today....

    No fuses anywhere on the truck. Make sure you are getting 24V to the ignitor. If yes, pop the top and ohm out the coil, which is notorious for burning up if ignition is left on, or it is made in china. Motor looking good from above!

    Two group 31's to crank 855?

    Anybody successfully using two group 31 batteries to crank a 250 or 400 Cummins in a 800 series or 915 series truck? Cold weather operation is not a concern.

    m37 engine swap??

    No, the 230's bellhousing is completly different than a V-8. The swap will work using components that originally went with the 331. Better stock up on left rear axle shafts.

    Correct tire size? Tire options?

    Be aware that most newer 16" rims (such as those on a CUCV) will not fit over the rear hub on a M880.

    S280 shelter electrical system

    Every S280 I have ever come across with air conditioners was 208 volt 3 phase. That configuration uses 3 hot phases and a ground, no neutral. MEP002 and 003 are set up like this.

    Early Deuce types

    Nice M211! With a desireable wrecker set number 7 as well. Just needs a bed from someone's M35 bobber, and a power pack?

    New m715 engine project

    Bob, have you ever heard of an aluminum head for the Tornado? Also, please post some pics of the short block in the crate, that is truly a rarity.

    915a2 street price

    I don't think seearching would do much good, because we are in uncharted waters here. If I am not mistaken, this may the first M915A2 ever to be sold in un-cannibalized condition.

    915a2 street price

    Thanks for the heads up! I'll be bidding now that you pointed it out. That truck will sell for $25,000.

    GL and Unmanned sites

    For those of you complaining about GL, just remember the old DRMO live auction method: After work on a weekday, drive hundreds of miles to your nearest base, get a hotel, and be at the auction the next morning to preview. Then slug it out with the dealers until the gavel falls. If you did not...

    M915A1 Brakes Locked Up

    I think we are all somewhat confused. What do you mean the rearend yoke "let go"? Tthe front axle does not have spring brakes that would need to be caged to move a disabled truck. Also, the axles have shoes and not pads. Check out the vehicle's TMs on the JATonka web site to aid in your...

    Dirt 71's Alfa Heaven M1008

    That is a spectacular nice truck. I wish everyone who restores and sells CUCVs would do quality work like that.

    M920 Cat 7155

    Try the oil again but use much more. I filled the entire air line with marvel oil after disconnecting it and holding it up next to the cab. Put it in reverse right away so hopefully the oil will get into the reverse piston and allow it to loosen up. Sounds like it is stuck in place.

    Simple PTO question

    Measure the shaft diameter and the bore diameter in the PTO housing with a micrometer and take the dimensions down to your local bearing supply house. They will fix you up for about $10.00

    Where does this fuel line go?

    Yes you are missing the return spring. 3L80e's are all electronic. No vacuum pump on the HMMWV engine to control the TH400's vacuum modulator. You can: Install a vacuum pump and valve from a CUCV or install a cable operated modulator from a earlier HMMWV that had the TH400. How did your engine...

    Simple PTO question

    Mash the truck's clutch before engaging the pto lever to avoid grinding gears in the PTO. Your transmission is a Clark 5 speed from a CCKW.
