The odds are not in your favor for putting it on the road in general but it's possible with a good fight. California is your least likely state to get approval baring Colorado which banned MVs for on-road use all together. The issue isn't its size or basic turn signals or etc.. emissions is a...

I had this issue on a M1085A1 yesterday. Turn on the battery disconnect switch and start tracing voltage from the batteries through the physical disconnect and remote disconnect then up to the PDP. I'm 4 for 4 on bad remote disconnect boxes failing internally and allowing weird voltage through...

TM 10-3930-643-24P has all your answers ;) https://manualzz.com/doc/13905519/tm-10-3930-643-24p

The truck was traded for a M1009 for reasons unknown to me and it has been long gone.

TM P/N: 277056 which translates to the following: KN86020, 1298894H91, 1655043, 277056, 280688C91, 5106141, 5131511, 5145614, 4310-00-778-8072, 00-778-8072, 4310007788072, 007788072 KN86020 is the most recent number and the cheapest I found by quick search is below...

I watched most of these trucks sit and rot at Ft Hood for years. They'd get forked from area to area for inventory then forked again for demil. I mean.. it's tempting to get a running beater HMMWV for this cheap when you factor in shipping. I like the 1152 and 1165 better.

Speaking from personal observation and direct conversation with others, the M-39 series truck (M51, M52, M54, etc) are all "old" and out classed by many generations of 5 tons (M809, M939, MTV) if compared by modern performance standards. They've been released from active service for decades so...

They were all put in piles, accounted for, and sent for scrap. It's part of the process they do there with the HMMWVs too.

Here's a short good read for you (post 1 and 25). They can basically do anything behind the scenes without notice or explanation. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucvii-that-sold-on-gp.206210/

Woke this old gal' up and gave her a new pair of shoes. She's a strong running truck and moving on to a new home. I really like the 395's on these M809 series trucks.

I'll send you everything I have. I'm only missing the -10.

I'd pull the transmission, engine accessories, and axles and do an "alls call" for anyone else needing parts on the white one. Transfercases are new on ebay for cheap so I wouldn't really bother. These are weeeeird but super neat trucks. If you can work on a deuce then you're skilled enough to...

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/xm757-8x8-tractors.210379/ I climbed all over those trucks and glad someone grabbed them. They... need a lot. The white one is DOA with no starter, injectors pulled, water intrusion, etc. The green one has hope and allegedly ran but many hoses and wires are...

There's not much in the "domestic" market equivalent to the M35A2. The older M211/M135 are less reliable and harder to find parts for, also all gasoline. The M35A3 is an option but they are uncommon and a half-breed with weaknesses of their own. That leaves the LMTV which officially replaced...

I remember sitting in it as GSA and even bid on it. I do remember it being mentioned it drove in but smelled of death inside so no one wanted it. lol

Congrats @ToddJK it was a good run. :beer:

Gave the old gal a second steam cleaning this weekend to knock all the algae and "CARC crud" off her. If you don't have a Magnum Comet 4000 cleaner from your local auction house then you're missing out.

14.5r20 are the stock tire but have a reputation for unexpected sidewall failure. The closest surplus tire to replace it is the 365/85r20 through you can go a little bigger with the 395/85r20. Now, they will fit but are not a perfect. The conversion has been covered in detail here on SS many...
