    Crazy suicidal steering and braking.

    Had the exact same problem with a 1009 this past spring. If it's slewing to the left, it is your right brake cylinder and or caliper refusing to close in conjunction with your left one. If slewing to the right, it's the other way around. If you keep slewing back and forth and back and forth...

    Here's a loaded question--baby seats

    I about had another heart attack when I got the news that we are having another baby. We just sold our two old cars about 6 months ago to buy my wife her new van and my 1009. A 3rd vehicle is not a current option. Has anyone ever used baby seats in their1009?

    Guard M35A2's to be sent to DRMO

    Someone stated above that the NG guys would be coming back for the M35's once they found out the LMTV's were a piece of crap. Well...one of my former soldiers called from one of the units I did the force modernization of all the deuces to LMTV's. They've now had the truck less than a year...

    Guard M35A2's to be sent to DRMO

    Let's see.... transfer to DRMO 6 months... sit on GSA list for another 6 months... released to GL another 2 or 3 months... GL lists 'em.. another month... looks like we probably have a year or more before we get a peek at 'em! Reference above. I was highly surprised when a M923A1 5 ton...

    Guard M35A2's to be sent to DRMO

    Most units are in the process of receiving LMTV's and MTV's. My last job was to convert the first brigade size unit in the Army from a mix of M35A2's, M35A3's, 800series 5 tons, and 900 series 5 tons to the new vehicles. About 150 trucks swapped out in less than 2 years. So you're gonna...

    Any members own a wood gas powered mv?

    Here is a article on the holzgas. Germans made more than a fair amount of use of these systems. Also have seen pictures of they system in occupied countries (wood was about the only fuel they had). I also think they made use of these systems in armored vehicles to perform driver training and...

    M105A2 behind a M1028A2 O.K?

    The A2 version has surge brakes and 8 lug tires of the CUCV type. The A1 version did not have the surge and the tires are old 5 lug tubed tires. Both have 3/4 ton load capacity. A2's tend to be harder to come across with GL whereas most of the 101's GL sells are the A1's. A2's also cost more...

    A3's W/W?

    Each of the models were made with and without winch M36A3, M35A3, and M35A3C. Saw the TM's for all 6 models (3 w/w and 3 w/o)

    Visually telling the year.

    If you want, pm me the vehicle serial number and registration number and I can most likely find it as long as it was Army owned.

    A3's W/W?

    If you're talking M35A3's, every last one we had (about a dozen) had a winch.

    Gathering opinions.....

    The directive we were given was if the vehicle cannot move under it's own power, all fluids and the batteries must be removed. All fluids is suppose to include final drives, transmission, engine oil,... everything. So it's never a sure thing but if it has fluids, it may just need a jump. My...

    M101?

    I think he's smoking too much weed...way too high. I would think buying one for a few hundred bucks and going to pick it up would be cheaper. Of course you have to do the EUC thing.

    m1009 Shifting Speeds

    Had the same issue with an old one at the unit. It was the vaccum modulator. I think the cost is about $15 at the autoparts store. Took about 20 minutes to change for a rookie. Seem to recall it takes some fine tuning to adjust it. Check out the -20 (change 2 is the one I have) manual...

    m55 history

    Need to get either the serial number and registration number. Prefer both since many times folks get a digit wrong and the registration number can help resolve that issue.

    What is the name of the thingy.....

    Already checked the TM's and can't find what I'm looking for so what do you call the optional metal protection plate that goes over the VRC46? I think we use to call it a doghouse but I'm trying to find the NSN and official name for it. Anyone have one for sale??
