Sorry to resurrect an ancient thread... The engines in the MEP803's, they're not sleeved engines, right? So instead of liners, you'd be talking boring out the block?

The MEP's just make the trip profitable :ROFLMAO:

This is a fantastic looking truck, you've done some great work. What sort of stuff do you usually haul with it?

I'm pretty sure I watched your video the other night of headed up 81 before Blacksburg. Any idea if the back of the BC in an M915A4 is different, or requires any special adapters to bolt on a manual transmission flywheel? I do not have one of these trucks yet, but I am considering buying one...

You discovered the problem: because the card is fickle and when it goes out, it’s hard to get the truck to start. Easy override to manual control.

I saw these on the Facebook group. They look great!

How did the spacers work out? I'm putting the same wheels (8 bolt instead of 24) on my F-350. I've sourced a replacement D60 out of a dually, I'm just going to swap the entire axle, since it's already geared 4.10 as opposed to my 3.55's. My question is in the rear axle: I haven't located a...

Those look like Autometer gauges. Very common in the hotrod and offroad vehicle scene. Excellent gauges, and very, very, very easy to do given the gauge/dash panel setup in the MV's.

I went and read your thread (it's fantastic, great ideas!). Your bed mount is very similar to what I was trying to describe above, only yours is mounted across the bed. I had originally thought of mounting one lengthwise down one bedside. I don't know if there's enough room for clearance between...

This thread is full of fantastic, very clean and simple ideas. KISS principle in full effect. I will definitely be referencing this thread later. Thanks!

When we were deployed, we either kept them mounted all the time to a tow vehicle, or kept them strapped behind the brush guard on a Humvee. For us, rapid deployment was priority over ground clearance or noise. We'd get pintle hitches bolted to the front bumpers of all the vehicles, and leave the...

FMS sounds an awful lot like OMS, an Army abbreviation for a certain level maintenance shop. The numbering system looks consistent with shop markings.

I'm pretty sure I saw the ad for that one. Shame it's so beat up!

This. People lie. Best east of luck, OP!

This is exactly what this site is for: To develop a love for these kinds of ex-military vehicles, but to use them to help others in ways that makes the world a better place. Great work, dude!

Excellent work. Very clean. What's the rough cost of the parts so far? do you think you'll add a complete parts list at the top later on?

That is a beautiful truck. Excellent work!

When I was in a field artillery unit, we routinely slept in the back of our 5 ton trucks. We used Mr. Heater Buddy's to stay warm. We made sure to keep the rear cargo flap opened slightly.

Very sad. Hope they recover quickly.

Speaking of convoys, I ran up on this one today. An MP company from WVARNG. The convoy included two of one of my favorite military vehicles, the M1117 Armored Security Vehicle. It also included a few HMMWV's (looked like M1114/1151 but had unarmoredX doors like an M1025), and an LMTV with a...
