I don't have the part number handy at the moment but they are listed in a CTIS thread I commented on over in the M939 forum... For my M936A2 I built a "breakout harness" where I ordered the 24 pin male and females with socket soldered connections then patiently soldered them together wire by...

I have an M817 that belonged to a friend that passed and I bought from his widow for likely way too much. It's had a hard life the bumper is tweaked, the top of the bed over the cab (and the hard top) looks like he hit a tree with it at some point, currently missing the front winch PTO shaft...

I highly recommend setting up to do your own injector service and calibration because on these machines it's super cheap and easy. I got a pop tester on eBay for about $120 and White Owl has injectors at $80 each plus they carry shims and other parts. The TM is pretty clear do a search here...

I have an M936A2. I do the following: 1) Parking brake set, engine in neutral, at idle 2) Depress lockout solenoid at end of t-case shaft, wait to feel/hear solenoid engage, shift t-case to neutral 3) Engage power divider lever located to left rear of drivers seat sometimes I have to bump the...

CA is definitely unfriendly. So much that for awhile they basically thought ALL former MV's were HMMWV and made it very hard to get plates for anything (like my M936A2). Things have gotten a little better they issued a newer VIN (vehicle industry news it's a guidance documant for the CA DMV))...

Yeah those water tanks don't look like they have swash plates. Look up "free surface effect" and keep it in mind when you carry water. If you don't know the history assume you have to change or inspect all fluids, repack all bearings, etc.. A non-contact thermometer and regular checks of the...

If I were in your situation I would try to save up for a wrecker. A really good shape M936A2 would run about $25k and you go down from there the older the model and worse condition. A patient man could likely pick up a working, but maybe needing tires and paint, M543A2 for $10k. The wrecker will...

IIRC there is no MWO for this. The issue was found in the civilian sector. What happens is that without an inter seal weep hole (or it's plugged) the motor fluid gets pushed out the shaft that goes in the reduction gearbox. The gearbox fills with hydraulic fluid (and of course the gear oil...

I'm in. The '72 M817 is on some cobbled together leftovers sure could use a proper set!

SF Bay Area. 80 is going to be more direct. That said I did my trip over Thanksgiving and got froze pretty hard taking a nap in western Wyoming. Got so cold I missed my alarm because my cel phone died. If it weren't for the seller making sure the ether start bottle was charged when I left I...

I did this with my M936A2: Battle Creek, MI to Felton, CA. It was an adventure really only had one issue and fixed it with some parts support. I hope you have more than the 5 days I took that was a long haul.

I have a bobbed deuce with ARB lockers front and rear, 395's and power steering. I run that thing through a lot of stuff (long as it'll fit). You need to: -Air down the tires to at least 25psi maybe lower or you'll rattle the truck apart -Add about 1500 pounds of ballast in the back to get...

You may or may not be wired over to the CTIS from the diagnostic port. I'm not familiar with LMTV trucks I just know my M936A2 wasn't wired for it. So I made an adapter/breakout cable I plug between the CTIS controller and the harness. I then use the dearborn adapter and plug adapter from the...

All the QRV's, the controller, the sensor, etc.. are VERY similar. The basic idea is trace the line back from the inside of the axle up to wherever it's mounted on the frame rail. The ones on my M936A2 are JIC fittings to the distribution block. Take the line off and plug in your "special" tool...

Good point. When I upgrade mine I'll install a bypass. I'll be in there anyways why not.

Because I'm working from a different truck. That said the systems are the same (or similar enough to not make a difference). Look at TM9-2320-272-24-2 section 3-462 "Hub air seal leak test". It's for the M939A2 series.

Make the tool from the TM and check all the hub seals. My bet is some are totally shot. I carry the test tool and a blank off cap on the truck so if one goes I can identify, blank it, run with 5/6 operation and hand manage the failed one. I recommend anybody that runs with CTIS operational do...

There's a small local shop near me that has all the hydraulic fittings and can make lines and whatnot. They are called "The Hose Shop". There will be one near you. Go make friends. You own an Army truck..... I went in with my pump and pictures with a tape measure in the pic. Also some of the...

Walbro is a great pump. Don't forget to check ebay for these. I scored two 6067 series (not marine rated) for under $50 each awhile ago. Right now there's a 6093 (7 psi, 43 gph) for $125 obo and a 6096 (4 psi, 33 gph) for $60. These are older pumps with the old numbers but both are marine rated...

-Yes the easiest will be to drill and tap the buggered ones. -Cut the gasket yourself. -Use a 24V marine rated pump mounted to the frame rail like a good Walbro they run about $225. Wire it to the original spot. You'll never have to deal with it again. Did mine this way and also ran parker push...
