Caiman MTV

[nwmellen]

My department has acquired a Caiman MTV through the government LESO 1033 program. Our Dual-Circuit, Four Channel Air, Anti-Lock Braking system recently failed. The military part number listed in the TM's is 1000563 and it goes to the Chamber, Air Brake (rear) brake. We called the manufacture and can not find a NSN number associated with the part or a civilian part number for the part. I am trying to find where I can get this part. Any suggestions

Possibly premier Metals in Texas as they scrapped a bunch of them,

I'm having trouble uploading an image. Sometimes it gives me a browse option other times it doesn't. Either way when I post the pic it just says I did not specify a thread??? I didn't think I needed to since I'm responding on my thread lol.

Do you know which Premier Metals. I Googled them and it shows 5 in Texas?

Premier Metal Buyers in Brenham, TX.


There was some posts here with pics when they were scrapping all those mraps. Others here might have a number as they were a very popular place to get tires and high speed gear sets.

I googled them and got a number, but when I call it it says they are no longer in service lol

The link Warthog came up with has several interchangable partnumbers, do a little part number searchs, Aero Group had price history from $177 - $321. These MVs can get expensive, especially MRAPS.

Yeah was hoping to find a national stock number I could search in the 1033 program. If I could find it there our agency only has to pay 5% of the original cost. If not, it still has to get operational. The cost of doing business I guess. Thanks for the help.

Does your Caiman have straight axles or independent suspension?

 

[Warthog]

The link does have the NSN number listed

 

[nwmellen]

It's the Caiman MTV with independent suspension

OK. What we are often seeing on these is the rear axle disc brake calipers won't release fully and so far the reason why is a mystery. Arvin Meritor, the mfg of the axle assemblies, is not supporting this product. So many agencies are stuck with an unsupported platform. Good luck.
