I'm in, Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

Recovery 4X4 answered most of your questions right on. The bracket on the passenger side floor is for an M-8 chemical agent detector. The bracket at the center of the dash is not military. Although it is located where a radio mount belongs it is not the correct mount. The transfer shift lever...

An air tank is the empty space between ones ears if he/she doesn't have enough sense to learn how the vehicles he has work and how to safely operate them.

There are no glow plugs, but there is a "flame heater" in the intake manifold. Fuel is sprayed into the intake manifold and ignited to heat incoming air. There should be a momentary toggle switch and an instruction plate to the left of the steering wheel. You should not need to use this very...

Most military gensets can be configured to provide either single or three phase power and can also be configured for different output voltages.

That is the tower for a three light floodlight set. Two towers, each with three lights and a 5KW genset made up the complete unit. Ontario surplus sell the towers to ham operators for their antennas.

Saturn Surplus has parts for both the engine and the generator. He may have the resistor you need.

So, about chains and locks in MVs. Nearly all military vehicles have a keyless ignition switch; you could just imagine if, in combat situations, someone couldn't find the key. When DoD bought the CUCV series of vehicles they were modified COTS (commercial off the shelf) products and did not...

If you need antenna mount kits for the CUCV Saturn Surplus had them, not sure if he still does.

Not all of the vehicles sent to Desert Storm, whether painted tan or not, had the inverted V on them. There was a severe shortage of tan paint as we prepared to deploy, so many vehicles, especially those belonging to support units, did not get the tan livery.

John Tennis aka jtonka had the plates. He also now has oil filter adapters for canister filters and lockout hubs.

I had a problem almost exactly like yours. My truck was running fine when I parked it one day. The next time I tried to start it Nothing! There was no power to the dash or nearrly anywhere else inside. Batteries checked OK. I chased cirucits per the wiring diagram wiith an ohm meter or...

We just pulled a 1.5 T generator trailer with two 5 K gensets and accessories mounted on it about 90 miles from Mechanicsburg with my M1009. The trailer lunette was turned down, which made the load ride nearly level. The trailer lights worked fine, if just a little dim on the 12V system. As...

I won't argue with crash af's definition of tactical asto "quiet", but you youngsters must keep in mind that not much was done with regard to sound suppression of gensets until the 80's or 90's. We did not see sound suppressed sets in medical units until well after Desert Storm, when our gas...

Tactical referes to any item or piece of equipment designd or intended to be used in a deployed or combat environment. With regards to generators a genset does not need to have a sound reducing kit installed to be tactical. They started replacing our gas burning sets with new "TQG" (tactical...

Neither, they are painted steel. The M101A1s all originally had the larger wheels and NDC tires. The photos you submitted show trailers that have had the axels replaced or modified to use the HMMWV wheels and tires.

Many of these vehicles come form Army Reserve or National Guard units and only saw limited use, typically on weekends and during their summer training periods. With current operations, whien these units deploy they generally will get the newer vehicles, so the CUCVs and Duces will be turned in...

I doubt that you will find any after exercises anymore. The military has/is disposing of all wilre com gear. Much of the WD 1 has already been sold at auction as-is or as scrap. Be carefull about paying too much for it; most field phone wire is steel, some with a copper "wash: so it looks like...

As stated above by others an ammo can/box is best for your gear; the mermite is insulated and great for cold stuff; it will not close securely without the rubber seal. A large (20mm, 40mm) ammo can shoud be available for $10-20 at most, the mermite will be 2X to 3X that. Fuel and water cans are...

I tried to look up the 313TC in the USARC and 99th RRC websites but there is little to no information on subordinate units on those sites anymore. This is probably due to severe security paranoia. It will probably be hard to impossible to get much history on these vehicles. Most of the...
