    What's a good way to verify whether or not am M923A2 has lockers?

    Thanks for all the info guys. One reason I want to check is the truck has a noticeably larger turning radius turning one way vs the other... Has anyone else noticed the same? -now I just have to figure out how to jack this sucker up... You know... My backs not quite what it used to be....:)

    Why a 5 ton instead of a 2.5 ton?

    As far as fuel mileage in the 5-ton goes: I think a lot of the earlier mentioned figures are accurate for the 800 series and the 900/900a1 series, however the 900a2 get's noticeably better mileage. I generally get around 10-11 MPG in my 923a2, and got better than 8mpg towing a trailer w/10k...

    What would cause/allow all 6 tires to deflate when CTis is supposed to be inflating?

    Thanks for the replies / advise. I have checked the tires, they are in very good condition (practically new). -This has only happened twice and I have aired them up by hand the next day at the latest. The lowest pressure driven on was 35 psi. Ok, so I aired up all 6 tires to 80 PSI so I could...

    What would cause/allow all 6 tires to deflate when CTis is supposed to be inflating?

    Thanks for the detailed instructions in case I have to go that route. The CTIS was working fine prior to this, which makes me think it is likely only one component that needs to be identified and repaired / replaced. SUPRMAN, thanks for the suggestion, I will check that first.

    LMTV at DRMO, spec's? Engine?

    Yes, a front flip. Keep in mind I’m referencing the 4x4 LMTV, not the 6x6 FMTVs. I have seen 3 of the rolled vehicles myself. It was a problem out at YTC which mandated that at least for a while, only humvee's were allowed to be used for brush fire trucks and medevac. One of the LMTV's that...

    LMTV at DRMO, spec's? Engine?

    Hello, The LMTV is a good truck in general, with some strong points and some draw backs. I would recommend against it and towards a M939 series for fire work though. For one, like the earily ears of any automobile, the earily years of the LMTV were not reliable ones. (and that is more likely...
