    M939 series was originally upgrade M809?

    I've seen 923's that were overhauled as late as 11-2010, and still had the mild-steel cab. Stainless would be really heavy, and extraordinarily expensive, even for the Govt.

    filming the M923 in action

    I was driving the LMTV Van the other day, and two hot girls in an escalade asked if I had a pole in the back in the van. Got me to thinking....................;) Having something big and unique to drive is always a good way to start a conversation. Enjoy your road trip Karl, that will be a...

    cooling fan removal help

    Well that really was a Pain in the A__ My hands are way too big. got the quick disconnect off, and the 4 nuts and washers, but I can't get it out of the shroud. I'm gonna have to pull the radiator after it comes off the lowboy. Working on a lowboy doesn't help either. I have a lot less skin...

    Thanks so much. I didn't have time to look thru the manuals, I have to pull one off a vehicle on a lowboy early tomorrow morning, and needed the general concept. Thanks Ted and Jwaller!!

    What have you done with your 5 Ton

    The 7 is gonna fly for some Type Ratings that a few people need, and the FAA has some inspectors in Alaska that need to get current. We have a full 1st class Delta interior for it, but it all needs reupholstered. It still has the curved Teal leather fist class salon in the back bulkhead which...

    What have you done with your 5 Ton

    Yes, it ground ran a couple weeks ago. Tail cone goes on, and the polished cowlings and spinners, and 2,500 gallons of avgas and she's ready again.

    cooling fan removal help

    Are there any tricks to getting the plastic cooling fan off a HMMWV? I see it has an external line to the clutch assy on the nose of the shaft. I can't see inside the radiator shroud enough get a good idea. Any tips would be appreciated.

    New Camper?

    Took the Van Truck out finally for a day of fooling around in the desert. The M1078 was delivered in 1998, and I rolled over 1400 miles while out in the desert. It had a bad knock under the cab, it was the intercooler piping hitting the tunnel, easy fix. everything works, even the CTIS. These...

    M923a1 transmission fluid?

    That will work fine. Allison no longer publishes Dex III or C-4 in their lube recommendation since they came out with the Expensive synthetic :beer:TES-295 fluid, but the transmissions don't know that.

    M923a1 transmission fluid?

    the lube order calls for straight 10Wt Napa can get it. I suppose the multi viscosity will work in a pinch.

    General Checkout on HMMWV's

    I believe these units have to be returned. I found out that they sent 2 beaters back in exchange for these 2. I think they wanted slant backs and they only had to ones with ring mounts to offer. I have an LMTV to look over next week, and a crazy armored tactical vehicle made in south...

    I thought so too on the number. I'm not sure what delivered them, it looked like a guard truck to me too.
