    M1078 - Transmission/Transfer case Binding

    I recently acquired a 98' M1078 with the WTECIII. It has an issue which I believe is focused on the transfer case (mechanically). The truck will start and go into gear, both Drive and Reverse, but it will not move. The transmission engages appropriately and puts a load on the engine but the...

    HMMWV Role Identification - CTIS Model

    I've been watching the HMMWV auctions close for anomalies and gabbed this unique "M1097R2" recently. CTIS, winch, pintle extension, and more. I've had a few AD friends look at it but so far no cohesive conclusion on what role or loadout it had while in service. ADA launcher, satellite erection...

    XM757 - 8x8 Tractors

    I have an M757 I've been slowly restoring and came across two more tractors near me. They're in fair to rough shape but at least rolling chassis with major components left in place. For anyone needing a parts truck contact me and I can get you in touch with the owner. I really don't want to see...

    OKC - Assistance Loading

    Is anyone in Oklahoma City with a deuce/5 ton and towbar that could lend a hand? I have an M816 (without cab) that needs to be pulled out of a parking spot so it can be winched onto an RGN. The area is too tight for the trucker to get to it.

    Looking for a physical or digital copy of the TM 9-2320-230-34P for the M656, M757, M791 5 ton 8x8 Trucks. I've searched high and low to find all manuals for this series of truck and lack this one. I've only found two physical copies on ebay but $75 is a bit much.

    M35A3 Fuel Pump/Prime Issue

    I've read the TM's and covered the dozen or so related SS thread regarding fuel prime on these M35A3 trucks but I fear my issue has surpassed the TM troubleshooting steps and into deeper water. This M35A3 fired up momentarily when I first cranked her. She turns over quick. She does fire on...

    FMTV Pre-Production Prototypes

    **This thread may continue to develop as facts and documentation are discovered.** I had the fortune of unknowingly recovering 2 prototype MTVs this past week from a location not too far from the old Stewart & Stevenson plant in Sealy, Texas. I'm doing the due diligence of documenting the...

    Door Markings Identification

    I've had many FMTVs but this is the first I've had with this numbering on the door like this. It was covered up (poorly) with tan paint and flaked off with the power washer. I'm positive this unit was overseas due to gunring support & platform, IFF panel mounts, etc. Anyone have insight?

    HMMWV Deep Water Exhaust

    Would someone post photos of their deep water exhaust setup, mount, and bolts. I was lucky/unlucky enough to get a NOS exhaust pipe but it doesn't mate up to my M1123. The part number comes up at M1097A1 but doesn't fit right. Did they change the exhaust for the "A2" generation? Bracket and...

    MRAP Buffalo Trainer

    For those who haven't heard I've come into possession of a Buffalo MRAP trainer built on an M925A2 chassis. I want this thread to document the unique nature of this machine and updates as I work on it (even if slowly). I felt this should go under the "Heavy Armor" category due to the extensive...

    Baton Rouge - M923 Batteries

    Is anyone near Baton Rouge that would be willing to get an M923A2 started? It will likely need the usual batteries and fuel prime to get it running. I plan to have it hauled but it needs to drive up onto the trailer. Thanks.

    FMTV Allison 3070 Transmission - Code 4627 Overcurrent, A-High Solenoid Circuit

    The 1078 I recently acquired runs but wont go into gear. The PBC (push button controller - Wtec3) is giving me an active code for 46 27 - Overcurrent, A-High Solenoid Circuit. Clearing the code does not work, the condition is active and preventing engagement. The relays in the PDP click when...

    FLU-419 - Instrument Cluster In-op

    I've followed the TM and dug into the dash to identify this problem but no success yet. All electrical instrument gauges do no work with the exception of the high beam indicator and no charge light which are controlled by the power/ignition switch. The start relay under the hood had the starter...

    LMTV M1078A1R - Battery Disconnect Reset Issue

    I have a 2006 M1078A1R that is having an odd issue related to the battery disconnect box. This truck is current gen so no TM help. Batteries are fresh, wired correctly, and voltages checked. Turning the battery disconnect to "on" will result in a satisfying click for power. This click sounds...
