    M813 leaking front axle

    This job is covered in TM 9-2320-260-34-1 section 10. They list a special remover tool 5120-378-4301 but they don't show what that tool looks like.

    My first multifuel?

    So was the breach in part of the water jacket?

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Doesn't he like to add .120" spacers to run rpms in the danger zone? His engines probably don't last very long.

    Assessing tire condition- NDT bias tires

    I found this little snippet explaining the OZ in a little more detail.

    Assessing tire condition- NDT bias tires

    What is OZ rubber? I haven't heard of this term but I've had my suspicions that military rubber was exempt from the EPA on their quest to eradicate all of the good stuff that actually works.

    M813 leaking front axle

    Sounds exactly like my M813 before I replaced the inner shaft seal. If you can make a contraption similar to what I did it's a little easier work than a slide hammer. There are a few really good writeups on the process and most of them are in the 2.5 ton section...

    where can i get a 5 ton crew cab?

    All crew cabs are custom made by joining the original cab with an extra donor cab - there were no factory crew cab 5-tons that I know of.

    Torque value for M939A2 combat wheel studs?

    I found a difference between the 5-ton and the HEMTT wheels (on my wheels at least) that may explain the difference in torque values: the 5-ton wheels are using deformed-thread lock nuts, where as the HEMTT wheels are using just plain flange nuts without any locking feature.

    M818 for business

    This is true. A CH-47 or CH-53 could also extract the sucken truck.

    This is pages 2-113 & 2-114 from printed TM-9-2320-260-20 July 1972 in the electrical troubleshooting section.

    M813- Wire #40

    There is also a #27 spider harness which is the power to the electric gauges and is keyed hot by the battery switch.

    M813- Wire #40

    Sweet! Any chance you measured voltage for bright vs dim? I don't plan on cutting anything. I'm hoping to unplug 569 from the pre-heater switch, plug it into a wye, then add a short section of wire from the wye back to the switch and then another section of wire to a USB port.

    M813- Wire #40

    I've been wanting to add a 12V charging port for cell phones on my M813 also and I've been entertaining the idea of splicing in to the "glow plug" circuit #569 with a wye connector just before the switch since it already carries 12V to the dash. Not sure if it's a sound idea but it would be...

    M813- Wire #40

    This is just a guess, but I'm thinking that circuit #40 might output 2 different voltages based on whether the light switch is on Panel Bright vs Panel Dim. Not sure what your converter would do if it were receiving 12 volts, say, instead of 24 V. A volt meter in that free socket would confirm...

    Yes, thanks for the follow-up. There are too many issues in threads left open-ended without the solution being posted.

    HMMWV original government specs for Humvee

    Maybe the search starts with the first humvee contract number? Maybe there are requirements listed that the contract fulfills? I don't think the info is easy to find but it's out there somewhere.

    HMMWV original government specs for Humvee

    This could help you. Nht88-1.29 This is the NHTSA 's "interpretation" where they tell AM General that their products were indeed meant to spend the majority of their time (60%) on public roads after AM General tried to back peddle on their design intent when the M151 started getting too much...
