    CUCV Starter nightmare.....

    M1009. Was in a sorry state when I got it (and still pretty rough). Hadn't run in a while. Showing 8,400 miles on the odometer. Replaced all the battery cables, rebuilt both alternators (one had a shorted regulator, the other had one brush lead that turned green and fell off) - they came apart...

    FMTV -10 Manual PMCS QR Codes

    For convenience of the soldiers, the PMCS portions of the -10 manuals have been digitized and QR codes produced so they can simply scan the code on the dash of the truck and go through the PMCS using their phone. I present them here. You can print, laminate, and post it somewhere on your truck...

    A1R brake pedal valve up(down)grade.

    Those of you who have not driven an A1R or A1P2 probably will not understand this post. The C7 trucks (serial #100,001+) including both A1R and A1P2 have a different air brake pedal valve and if you have driven A0, A1, and A1R you may have noticed that the A1R trucks seem to have a brake pedal...

    Vacuum regulator valve - sources? Replacements? Rebuilding?

    I got this M1009 unit running and first drive - no shift out of 1st gear. Got 20" of vacuum from the pump. Nothing from the regulator valve. I took it apart and cleaned it up - did get it to function at least a little bit by unscrewing the top to put more tension on the spring inside. Got it...

    JEGS Reproduction Aluminum Radiator - any experience?

    https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/511457/10002/-1 Picked up a new problem child - there's a giant hole in the radiator and someone soldered up about three rows of tubes. So I'm looking at options - this is the only one with pretty detailed pictures and appears to have the trans cooler, engine oil...

    FMTV brake canister diaphragm replacement.

    I've seen a few questions posted about replacement canisters - which are a bit difficult to find and expensive on the surplus side. I recently replaced the diaphragm's in all of mine and other than dealing with the paint on the clamp bolt threads it's an extremely easy process. On my 2008 A1R...

    Updated C7 injector harness PSA

    I replaced the ECM to engine wiring harness on my 2008 M1079 A1R due to multiple occurrences of connection issues with all three of the pressure sensors - the oil pressure, boost pressure, and atmospheric pressure sensors would throw codes and the boost pressure sensor in particular would put...

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    Well this is going to make a few people (including myself) feel really silly...... I've been getting pretty deep into a CTIS diag on a friends truck and had the occasion to swap modules between my truck and his, and vice-versa. And I've been going over documentation and troubleshooting info and...

    M1079 window upgrade (small window van)

    Swapping out my small windows for something more suitable to it's new life. Got the door window installed and the passenger side wall upgraded. I'll be masking the glass and going over the outside with CARC so they look factory. Might figure out some drop down canvas covers for them as well.

    AC Installation. Charging capacity and oil capacity?

    Ok I'm *almost* ready to charge the system. The only remaining question/discussion I would like to have is regarding the system capacities. The TM lists the capacity as approximately 4 lbs. I'm told by someone that has installed a number of these that it's 3.75 lbs. I can go off system...

    TIS the time of year for dryer service....

    Get out there and service your dryer. Less than 1 year on this cartridge. Drain my tanks weekly (never any moisture I can detect), and daily drive my truck:

    PDP panel cover latch part number.

    This is the latch used on the PDP panel cover. I sent them an email asking if the spring steel safety catch is available on its own (both of mine are broken) but even if it isn't the whole latch is only $10. https://southco.com/en_us_int/91-562-07

    Radiator Cap alternate part number Stant/MotoRad 10230

    The parts reference spreadsheet only lists the Stant AA02516 - this being a military part number without any cross-reference. Doing some digging around it appears that a Stant 10230 is a proper fit and is stocked at nearly every auto parts store in the USA. Autozone part number 7016 (it's a...

    Amp gauges for 260A alternator.

    I'm considering a pair of these. They come with shunts and are 12/24v and they are relatively inexpensive. One for each side of the 260A alternator. My main need beyond monitoring the draw on the stupidly expensive alternator is to ascertain how much overhead I have to work with on the 24v side...

    Power steering fluid filter...

    This is an annual service item and I'm not finding any availability on the civilian market. It's a Bosch filter: NSN: 2910-01-375-7624 Part number: 3032141112, or 3032.141.112-0CB I have a surplus filter but curious if anyone has found a cross-reference that's commonly available.

    CTIS wheel covers (CTIS Armor) - CAGE code?

    Anyone that has the factory CTIS wheel covers that protect the CTIS valve and hose assemblies - can you tell me if the CAGE code stamped on them is 19207 or something else? I'm looking for any past manufacturers of NSN# 2540-01-489-5928 Unfortunately they are listed with CAGE code of 19207...

    Gen 2 air conditioning install with C7 A1R - notes and pictures thus far.

    I'm told by a MotorPool veteran of 20 years that "soft cab" trucks were basically never equipped with AC. He couldn't recall ever seeing one in fact. The A1P2 armored cab trucks all have it and in fact AC malfunction is a deadline. The AC only has to drop the ambient temp by 20 degrees F to be...

    A1R rear axle locker (intermediate axle from MTV) questions.

    I've done some searches here on the forum but I haven't found any discussions about this...... So my A1R has the high-pinion rear axle. Basically the intermediate axle from the MTV with the output blocked off. So if I get a complete 3.07 intermediate third member...... don't those have some...
