An article from military.com that came out yesterday. Can you find all the errors? Steven, don't read it - mind your blood pressure.... ;)

Longshot I know, but would like to find a MX-6707/VRC base. Radials would be great too. Must be reasonably priced.

OK, so the big alternators have a 12v output, but where physically is there 12v inside the cab? Is there a line to the battery box somewhere?

Wow, glad I don't have anything in the pipeline. I was setting up to use them to pick up my MEP-802A on the pallet in TX and ship to WA, but found their website too confusing to complete the deal...

Won an 802A and arranging shipping. I'll have a lot of questions once I start troubleshooting this, but for now... What is happening here? So it sold as a non-runner. Not sure how hard they tried, dude looks like he's had a rough day in the video. 14.4 hours, looks good inside and seems...

Think it's time for a rollcall as there have been many new additions to the mil-surp drivers club, plus others that have been around a while I never knew about. Please give a general location, what you drive or are working on, and what parts or help you need. Location: Silverdale/Poulsbo Motor...

OK, where on earth do you find them? I need two cannon plugs (AN3102-20-17) but no internet search effort finds useful (not buying 1,000 of them, has picture to confirm it's the right thing). I'd settle for just the pin sockets so I can mold my own but don't know where to find them, or what...

Very low mileage M1165... The block heater seems to be there. Is it usable once I clean it up? Is that a standard block heater plug, and where do I get one? Just a straight plug-n-play or does it need some sort of controller between the house current and those pins?

Having a NOS kit means I have all the parts, and I had no idea there were as many small parts. Most of the ones I see for sale used are missing most or all the small parts. The "instructions" are a little vague, so I decided to write a quick tutorial. PARTS: Base Offset part and cover Side...

HMMWVs got a lot of airplay in the movie, but I guess there were some M1010s, M1008s, and M1009s there too. I found this video and at the end of the video they show some photos of the stadium used by the Pakistanis.

I'm going to be doing a fluid & filter change on the transmission and have some general questions. The 4L80E trans is the same as any other GM 4L80E trans? I ask because 2006 M1165 is not a vehicle for the purposes of searching rockauto, napa, etc. Does anyone know a vehicle I can use to...

Does anyone have a picture of the lower rifle mount? The internet is bereft of any photos in that area. The book picture isn't much help, and mounting it in the direction it shows seems to angle the rifle butt incorrectly.

The following is a tutorial on converting the Duke CIED antenna to use in the ham radio bands. You choose which band(s) based on the antenna you put inside, however you should be shopping for a (1) no-groundplane antenna that (2) is a length that fits inside the tube. My CUCV has had several...

Huge thanks to rcamacho for helping me into an M1165. :beer: I want to move the CIED antenna from the M1009 over to the vee, but I clearly don't have the proper bracket. There's too much body flex with the antenna even without the riser. I'm not having much luck finding photos of this...

OK, what does the yellow 4WD light tell me? Shift lever is in 4WD Transfer case is in 4WD I ask because every so often I shift to 4WD and the light doesn't illuminate. Is the front axle engaged even tho the light didn't come on? Sometimes the 4WD light comes on a minute or so after I've...

Suddenly I'm noticing the Gen 1 light is glowing softly while the motor is running. Everything else appears normal. I would estimate the bulb is 35% as bright as it is when I turn the key and the Wait light is on. It goes out completely when I put a high load on the electrical system...

I know there are a lot of old threads on this, but I will need help with physical locations of the various parts and that's often left out. Driving to work this morning I noticed the transmission shifting late from 1st to 2nd (high revs) and while at slow speed I don't get any shift from 2nd to...

What the heck happened here? Six hands and a leg to hold everything, get it all back together before I noticed that the shoes I bought eight months ago are much narrower than the ones I took off. I bought them on Rock Auto and these were the ones they selected. What do I need exactly? New...

Trailer has been sitting a while (with the parking brakes set) and i pulled it from its parking spot over to the driveway. While backing it in the driveway the brakes applied so I pulled it around the block and tried again. This time it went up the driveway but I think the brakes were...
