You will know if you have a LDS if you can stay even with a stock Powerstroke manual transmission up to 55 mph . . . None of that annoying "whistler" racket . . . the turbocharger emits a scream like a jet engine at full thrust.

I am fairly certain the H1s used the same windshield mounting method as the 998s. On the 998, there are 3 hinges with removable pins on the exterior of the truck, and 2 similar hinges with removable pins on the inside. To fold the windshield, you drive out the pins from the inside 2 "hinges"...

Just be careful when buying the PTO M1031s as the generator speed control system often seems to be cannibalized. I ended up buying a whole second SECM truck just to get these parts. SS member b4thundr seems to have an alternate to the Barber Coleman governor system figured out. I agree...

Here you go, Google Images "M887 Contact Maintenance". Photo credit Olive Drab.com. My question is, do you really want the M1028 with a 1970's vintage Wisconsin V4HD gasoline engine generator/welder, or a 1987 M1031 with the cool PTO driven generator?

Thanks for the "GSA coming attractions", I'll be looking for those adorable WWII single axle lowboys to come up!

You need the STE-ICE diagnostic device. If I remember correctly that stands for Simplified Test Equipment - Internal Combustion Engine. They come up on Ebay periodically, and someone always has one at MV shows. The device receives inputs from the tach sensor, fuel pressure sensor, and other...

Welcome to the site. Not it is not a common problem, and yes you either need to retorque your head bolts, or if that does not work, a head gasket, and to check flatness of both head and block while things are open. Don't forget there is one head bolt under the carb. If this is just going to...

Well the thread is drifting off topic but oh well. Well, buying from GL, there are dozens of threads on that. Buying 915's, not many. I have only seen one or two 915's come up west of San Antonio, at Barstow. The one from M1075 came from the North Carolina National Guard and was sold near...

When is your buddy coming over to help you with the 2 day post-fording wheel bearing repack job?

Or Sam Winer Motors, 330-628-4881.

Tell us more about the NP205 conversion . . . All the 724's I have seen have some kind of huge PTO where the emergency brake usually is, with a huge multi-sheve pulley driving the welder. Looks to be a full engine power (such that it is with a Tornado) PTO. Does the NP205 mount a smaller...

I did the opposite, put a ip from a CUCV into a HMMWV. The HMMWV solenoids are 24 volt, any pump shop will have plenty of used 12 volt solenoids on the shelf. The intake and exhaust manifolds are different, you will need to reuse the vacuum pump with gear drive. The glow plugs can be...

Before you rebuild the engine, change the oil, and disconnect the positive crankcase ventilation valve. If the oil level is high enough for the crank to hit it, the agitation will send liquid oil into the PCV and subsequently the intake. This occured on my M38A1. Also, if the fuel pump...

Stay tuned to Government Liquidation. The 915s, 915A1s, and 920s are coming out in steadily now. Mine came from the Illinois National Guard last year, about 25 were auctioned at the same time. The ones with the black headliners were recently rebuilt in Texas. They bring a $3000 premium at...

They are lucky that mess did not fold the frame in front of the spring mounts. Looks to weigh 600 lbs or more. Is your truck a M724? The contact maintenance trucks with the transfer case PTOs would have been that model. If so, the bed does not belong anyway.

Check out reb87's posts on grain hauling with the 915 and 915A1's. His only complaint was breakout torque after sitting in a field overnight grossed to 80K. Had to use reverse, which is lower ratio. Uphills with 80K is effortless . . . oh heck just look up his post.

m16ty, are you referring to the M870 trailers?

Welcome to the site. Nice 915 in your avitar! I have been trying to figure out the 871 geneology as well. I think the A1's and A2's were just engineering variations by different manufacturers. The A2's are made by Dynaweld for example and the rear part is made differently. Otherwise they...

My MEP017A had "13620" clearly stamped in the top of the carb. So that is the kit I am ordering. I will report back if everything works out well.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. Those trucks were rebuilt by the Texas Maintenance Sustainment base near Ft Worth very recently. The "CCC" emblem is screwed to the grill, yours got lost somewhere. Try some laquer thinner (not paint thinner) to cut the crayon marks. Rub really hard with a soaked...
