    M809 series M817 wiring number diagram

    Glad you got it working. Sorry my response was so short. I had stopped for a min to potty and let the ndts cool down.

    Picking up my M818

    One last picture. Spent the last couple of hours with degreaser and a hose going all through the cab and outside the truck. Tomorrow or Monday I will do the engine bay. Also put all my "BII" in the box behind the cab.

    Picking up my M818

    When it started as soon I was able to stop I got out the WD-40 and sprayed the entire linkage, return spring, emergency stop cable, if it was connected or looked like it was connected to the ip I sprayed. I'll pull the spring off and head to napa and see if they have a replacement.

    Picking up my M818

    Ok guys, got a little issue. It started yesterday during the trip but I figured it was just because air was in the lines. There is a little pin hole somewhere on the right tank lines. Here is the problem. Start it up, idle goes up to almost 2000. Once you drive it runs good, but once you...

    Picking up my M818

    Alright time for the After Action Review. Picked the truck up from Donny around 1430 ish. Went over and made sure all tires were at pressure and Donny was nice enough to grease all u-joints for me. Put the batteries in, I was worried about them moving around, and they did on a bump which...

    Picking up my M818

    Ok so it's 2pm cst and I'm eating my lunch letting the ndts cool down. Put the new battery in this morning, strapped it down and no issues. Truck runs cool, haven't gotten the finger yet for driving 50. My plan so far is stopping every two hours to let my back relax and the tires cool...

    Picking up my M818

    So I put the battery back in but no dice. I feel the worst for the battery. Gonna jump the 12v side tomorrow morning and if it works I'm gonna run by Wally World and exchange my batteries. I hear the relays clicking and clacking. Only other possibility would moisture in the switches from...

    Picking up my M818

    Yeah I put both batteries in the right box and I'm going to ratchet strap them down once the other one gets done charging. I took the regular battery connectors and just used the screw posts.

    Flat towing a LMTV ?

    +1 When flat towing the transmission will not cycle the fluid so serious damage can result.

    Picking up my M818

    Well picked up the truck from Donny. Stopped at a car wash down the road and washed it off. So far only one little issue but it couldn't have happened at a better time. Battery shorted on the 12v side right before I got on fort Sam Houston. Rearranged the batteries so the can't move, load...

    Camp Shelby Rally

    I might be not be much help on that. Spent two years on a line team working on m1's and loved it. It defiantly was a change of my normal air conditioned electronics and small arms shop.

    Camp Shelby Rally

    I would make the trip from Zachary (Baton Rouge), Louisiana. Look you just give me the key to the m1 display and I'll bring my tools. As long as the pack is still in it I'll get her running and do hay rides. I miss working on and driving the Abrams

    I won a 934A1 last week.

    I used to open my 934 by myself all the time, closed it by myself too. Once you do it a couple time you can get it to an art of doing it alone. Just make sure the cables are good, won't be doing it by yourself if the cables break.
