I was checking out my local area C-list ads and ran across a gentleman selling a very cool looking 1988 HMMWV with a helmet top. Non turbo engine said he swapped in a newer 6.2 diesel into it. Said it runs drives well, has played in the snow and mud with it. He’s recently put it on 49” super...

Looking through the local listings of military vehicles for sale in my area on the local C-list page and ran across a listing for a 1960 mighty mite for sale. Out of my price range right now. But figured I’d screenshot a few pics of it with the ad. I’m not savvy enough to put up a link, my...

So I went to start up the M939 today and it was a little slow turning over, I stopped and tried a few times. Eventually it started turning over quicker but was cold and didn’t want to start. I pushed the cold start button for the three seconds as the directions indicated to do. It continued to...

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate spot for this, if not please move to the right place. Spotted on the local craigslist in Tualatin Oregon an ad for a 1943 Burma jeep project. Very cool machine I just have more projects going than I can get to. Thought I would pass it on to the next...

Finally got the m939 running and driving again, then today when we made a run to the recycling center the truck started a new issue. When slowing down while braking the truck feels like it has the rear brakes are coming on strong and grabbing. It only does it the last part of braking when coming...

So I replaced my pcb box with a used take off unit that I bought while in the process of rebuilding my old pcb. The dash lights all come on when I operate the light dash switch. But the truck doesn't even turn over with the battery switch on and operating the ignition switch. Batteries were...

Like the title says, how often do you drive your 5 ton? Just curious as I have the urge everyday to fire mine up and take it for a drive. Lol, if I need to go to lowes, or to the local gun store, grocery store, just for a drive down the road. Granted I don't actually drive it to all these...

Well it was bound to happen, lol. Brought home my m939 on Tuesday, and Wednesday I noticed when I fired it up that the low air light and buzzer was going off. Looked at the air pressure gauges and they're zero psi. The compressor works, got the psi up to 90. I could here a hiss from behind the...

Finally got to join the ranks of the 5 ton crowd. Bought today a 1986 5 ton truck. Nhc250 non turbo, 46" super singles. Runs drives great so far. Lol, only got a 45 miles on it so far. Bought it locally. 41k miles. Troop/cargo carrier with canvas and bows. Literally came with the bed full of...

Going to be getting a 5 ton this week, when I test drove the vehicle it was very obvious that the air brakes are very responsive. It has been overhauled by the military and had the ABS upgrade. That said since my sons will occasionally be operating it, I was thinking that a set of seatbelts...

Just getting into the mv scene, I have been looking at different rigs, 5 tons, ww2 jeeps and of course the Humvees. I just want to verify what I think I understand about the tops for them. I know there's 2 dr., 4 dr., trucks, etc. I would guess that they're all a standard base model, if I am...

Just like to say hello, new member from Oregon and thanks for letting me be part of a great forum. I've been doing alot of reading and researching here for a while now. I am not currently an owner of any military equipment yet. But have been looking, learning and planning to join the community...
