    I can see your truck better now. It's a miltary version and not civilian. The extension behind the cab was availabile only on the military truck.

    Oh another thing don't run high priced oil. You will burn it if you work the truck.

    Looks like you are making progress. The horn is with the turn signal. Push it in to honk. Brake lights. Ck the micro switch close to the brake pedal.

    Solution to my fuel issues - single tank conversion or am I being to simplistic???

    As most members who had fuel starvation problems with the 250 cummins they will agree this motor is not know for its high ability to bring fuel to the injection pump. I even added a inline 24 v on one truck even after changing lines and rebulilding the selector valve.

    tatra 813 new owner

    i had a 813 kolos and dreamed of the turbo set up like what you have. It makes a big difference.

    i agree with doghead. The hoses are ready available. The selector valve can be rebuilt. I did this to my 931 and spent less than 100,00. I had this same problem and the difference in throttle response after you change out everything is well noted. Plus she will start much easier.

    I found another photo of the MP 1017 I had. This truck was at a base in Munich that had never been on the road. It plowed snow on the base. The rear cargo cover had never been off. Zero rust. They kept good care of it. Less than 3000 Kms. It still smelled new.

    Sorry Ahab. You can get them in 4x2 and there have been very few seen from the Germany army. All I have seen and owned are 4x4.

    Windshields are available but shipping would kill you! The lights should be a easy fix. MB's gave a good electrical system if no one has messed with it. Let me know. I may have a owners manual.

    daimler benz m 1017a

    No these are 4x4 with reduction and blocking rear diff. Almost the same motor as the unimog 1200 series and up. They run a turbo and use all MB trans, reduction box, and diffs. No ZF stuff. They are the back bone of the German military. This photo is a military police that's why it's a...

    m939 fan clutch actuator

    Well mine did work but I thought it was coming on at to high of a temp but it was not so high. The temp gage was off 15 degrees. I used a laser temp hand held to find out the real temp. To check the clutch reverse the air lines at the actuator. If the fan runs it's the actuator that's not...
