Well I’ve lost my battle with the transmission issues I’ve been having with the truck. Called an Allison dealer and they’re thinking $10-$12,000 to rebuild. Decided to buy a trans on eBay which looks to be surplus and rebuilt. Going to put it in next month when I get a little more time...

Got the new mirrors installed today while waiting for some transmission parts to show up. Huge upgrade over the stock junk. Cut out and powder coated some 1/4” aluminum plate to stiffen the door. Adding some marker lights and turn signals to them this weekend.

Newly acquired truck. Haven’t driven it much and haven’t gotten a chance to tackle the manual yet. Drove it today for about 30 minutes then the trans temp light came on. Neither cooling fan was on and no power at the connector. Trans and cooler were hot. Shut the truck down. Turned the ignition...

Hey Just picked up one of these trucks. Was looking for a manual. Scrolled through the manual section but didn’t see it? Anyone have any info. Not sure if I just overlooked it. Thanks for the help

I bought an M548a1. It’s being delivered next week. I’ve never been around one and I’m not familiar with how they drive. I have to unload it off the trailer when it arrives. Is anyone familiar with these that could give me some quick instructions? I haven’t been able to find a manual or...

Trying to find a manual for an MRAP Cat II BAE Systems. It's for a sheriffs department and I'm trying to come up with a maintenance schedule and and pre trip inspection lists. Thanks for any help you can provide. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Working on a BAE Systems MRAP. Have an intermittent issue with the parking brake light coming on with the brakes released. Does anyone know the location of the pressure switch? I located the ones for the brake lights but not the parking brake switch. Thanks

I'm trying to figure out if my truck is working correctly and if there are adjustments for more power. I've got an M818 250 Cummins. 2006 depot rebuild. Currently has 2500 miles on it. Trucks smokes at idle all the time. White/gray. White smoke on acceleration. Not like coolant smoke though...

Added 10' to the frame. Going to be putting my Hummer on the back.

I'm adding hydraulics to my 5 ton. I think I'm going to go with a belt driven clutch pump vs. a trans pto pump setup. I have been searching the forum but haven't found anyone else that has done this. I thing I'm going to include it in the power steering belts. Anyone else seen this or have it on...

The front axle on my truck only seems to engage when I'm in reverse. I don't know too much about this truck as I haven't done much work to it but I'd think it should engage when going forward. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey guys Somewhat new to this forum and I'm still getting use to it. I tried some searches but I apologize if this is a repeat... Bought my 5 ton straight out of a government rebuild. The cold start worked pretty good. I made the mistake of leaving it on for maybe a half hour and now it's not...
