    Why does my FMTV LVAD have a 12v electrical system?

    Most of the electronics on board should be 12v, just slap on a 24/12v alternator and 24v starter, nato slave plug and got yourself a mv. Gotta think, the fmtv utilize a lot of off the self parts, and instead of asking all the electronic manufactures to make their part 24v they just make the...

    Did they ever make an Armored Cab upgrade package for M939 series cabs? (I.E. M923A2)

    Spent several 'days' in the tan version. Seat didn't work correctly, loud, ac worked when it wanted to. When I was in it I missed my 1070 so much.

    Fuel Gauge Question

    On my trip from San Antonio I filled up both tanks and didn't fill up till I got home. I figured I had about an 1/8 in each tank.

    So this just happened...

    So bought 15 tubes of red grease, got 2 left. Holy crap do the knuckles take a lot. Put 4 tubes in the passenger side and about 4 1/2 in the drivers. Took it for a spin and the boot on the passenger side decided it wanted to bulge out. Got the water hose and trickled water under the boot...

    Fuel Gauge Question

    If it is grounded ohm it out and see if it is within specs. Another options to check the gauge is to get respective resistors and put in place of the sending unit to see if it is working correctly.

    Fuel Gauge Question

    Add a ground wire from the sending unit to the frame. These trucks are terrible for grounding on the tanks. Here is how mine are. You only have one tank but same concept.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Pfft, I took out a small grove pulling myself out. All kidding aside, I will be using mine to move some fallen tress on the farm. I will be sure to air down this time, lol

    How do you disconnect the Alternator

    It would be under all that RTV / gunk. It's used to protect the connector, rtv goes on everything in the military in the mechanics shop.

    please share your extreme off road pics

    Not intended, but I found myself in a crapy situation Sunday. Just got done going through the hubs and making sure everything is ok. Still have to grease everything that has a zerk fitting on it.

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    What I don't understand, and granted I'm from Louisiana but to me if you are registering it as an antique and you modify it, it is no longer in it's original configuration. In Louisiana we can go to the state police and get a vin check, ya'll can do the same? A vin check is just that, check the...

    Speedometer Stopped working

    I'm placing my best bet on a 809 series. I thought the same thing, engine brake it, neutral just asks for to many problems if you need to do any evasive maneuvers.

    Frustrating 809-series sprag!

    Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I have been trying to find this switch and have come up empty handed. Any suggestions on where to find one?

    So this just happened...

    So, got the drivers side tackled. Pretty clean, no debris, that's a good sign. I just need to remove the two plugs place a zerk fitting in one and grease till it comes out the other side. I'm debating using the air grease gun or not, and while I'm under it, if it has a grease fitting, it's...
