I have an M151a1 and a Stevens 77e. Has anyone mounted a shotgun in their M151? I know the M14 and M16 were mounted, but I didn't want to substitute, but to make the shotgun additional if possible. The Stevens 77e, I believe was the only military contract shotgun in the Vietnam war and kind of...

I have a antenna base brush cover with up arrows for the M1009 and 08. The rubber window gasket is in the way with the m009 arrow up. If I mount it with the M1008 arrow up it barely protects the antenna base. I hope this is right. My antenna base is mounted just outside from the radio table. I...

We are painting a M100 trailer. Wire wheel, scraper and rustoleum. On the rear there are holes that are are not symmetrical in each lower rear outside corner. I was wondering what they are used for. I see them in pictures of every original M100 trailer but never see them used. Thanks

I've got a M49 that was converted to a water tanker for a fire dept. They didn't use the pump that came on the truck and removed it. It originally ran off the power takeoff on the transfer case and the drivelines are still there. What RPM was it designed to turn at? Anyone know the specs on that...

I have read a lot about motor mounts after ordering the wrong ones and find that most say that the ones that fit are also the same as a 1983 350v8 gas motor mount. What I want to do is get the energy suspension inserts. The problem is I have to order them so I need to know if the 350 gas mount...

I tried googling the parts but couldn't find the electronic parts inside that are needed. Found some cables and stuff but nothing electronic. Is anyone trying to fix their antenna bases and know where to find parts? Thanks

I bought this truck off GSA last night. The one thing I find unusual is that it doesn't have a stack. I have looked at pictures of other M45a2's and they all had the usual exhaust stack. My M49a2C is non turbo, has a muffler and the stack pipe diameter is smaller than a normal turbo'ed deuce...

The nut came loose on the solenoid and it didn't take long for the connector to melt. Now I need a new connector for the end of the power cable that connects to the starter solenoid main copper terminal. Any ideas where I can order one? and the wire size required? I struck out at napa, even for...

Hi guys, I bought this truck as a fire fighting tanker. I love the M35 deuce so I've been looking for a M49. This one was used by a rural fire dept as a tender so it has had a lot of water through it already. It should have the stainless tank, but I'm not in possession of it yet to confirm that...

I'm looking for a set and wondered if I could expand my search to the dodge m880 if they were the same as the CUCV. Thanks

I have a M1009 that was used as a radio truck and like a similar post I have with a M1008a I would like to know what typically was in it. I read that there was a TM for a M1009 radio setup that would give me a list of what was required and how it was installed. If anyone has that TM or knows...

I would like to find out what the kit contained. There must have been a TM for it. Has anyone restored one of these M1008a1 to be the truck they were designed to be with the kit? Thanks

What antifreeze did the military run? Did they add SCA's? Mine is green and I'm ordering test strips to try and find out what is in there. Since they ran 15-40wt engine oil in the engine and transmission, I worry that the coolant may not be DD spec. Have any of you HEMTT owners changed your...

This problem kept us from taking the truck to an event yesterday and my son and I are at the limit of our understanding. So I'm asking for help. The left rear turn signal does not work. Every other lighting function does. Brake lights work, the front left turn signals work, the right side all...

I've got an unknown oil in the transmission. It looks like motor oil, if I was to guess. It's a very dark amber color. I've read that Allison recommends to drain the transmission, and put on a new filter, then fill with TES295. Then run for 30 minutes, then repeat, which then should give about...

SB645 passed the State Senate, passed the House and was signed by the Gov. It includes HMMVW's to be considered special interest vehicles, so they can be driven on the road to events, parades, cruise in, or a sunday spin. It takes effect 1/1/2018.

Does anyone know the napa or delco number for the starter solenoid? I couldn't find it in the Wiki. I'm looking for the solenoid on top of the starter. I believe it is activated by 12 volts but handles 24v. I have a 24v direct drive starter. Thanks

I know it is slow, and that doesn't bother me. I'm wondering if it will tow a 20ton tag trailer with a 15 ton load. Considering everything including brakes on it and the trailer are in good shape, will it do that? what is it rated for? I know the M35 is only rated to tow 10K and it can pull...

My sons M1009 has an issue of the glow plug solenoid not turning off when it should after startup. 1)First the truck would not start unless you gave the solenoid a whack. That told me it probably wasn't making good contact inside and we needed a new one. Got a cheap one off ebay and it didn't...

As a general rule do you guys do the bypass or do you leave it alone until you notice a problem? I just changed the oil and I was trying to detect any diesel smell, but could not. The oil looked to be a lighter weight than the oil I drained from my CUCV, which I also drained today. The lighter...
