Recovery 4x4 - Do u mean a ground from the cab to frame? I will look for one. Rattlehead- thats a good idea about the voltage drop test. I will try that. I will also look over the wires a little more to see if maybe something is shorting out. Yes these have A/C in them. Its an after market red...

the gen ground goes from the gen to the frame down by the rad. I already took it off and cleaned it up. Didnt help though

Well I have a problem with our M939A1. It has gone through 3 generators in the past month.The first generator caught fire and even melted the wires. We fixed the wires and put on another gen. That Gen just went out, so I changed it again. When I fired it up and put a load on it (A/C and lights...

Ever see an armored International Semi? Wasn't really sure where to post this. Its not really a gun truck but this seemed like the best place. These are trucks KBR uses to haul fuel around Iraq. It may have some armor but I sure wouldnt want to be driving one with all that fuel behind me!

RE: Re: RE: Some More Gun Truck Pics Knucklehead- With the extra weight we tend to have problems with the Power Steering alot. We just had another truck come in with a blown pump. Between the added weight and all the components that are run off the pump ( steering, brakes, fan clutch, rear...

Heres a couple more pics for you all.

Here are some pics of the REV we have. It is used as a riot control vehicle here at the detainee prison at Camp Cropper. Basicly it is an old M113a2 that some company in Canada bought and converted into this then sold back to Uncle Sam.

The pics I posted are the FRAG5s but I was talking about the one in JIMKs post. Those are the original doors. I agree with you though about the weight of the FRAG5s they are riduculus heavy! Pain in the butt shutting the door if your on an incline!

Those are the original M1114 doors, there have been 3 changes to the doors since then that I know of so that must be an older picture.

M1075- I like the duals on the front...do they make it harder to steer?

Both those trucks with the twin stacks look SWEET!

lol yeah the crowbar is are improvised belt tensioner tool. There is a square drive hole on the tensioner but there is not enough room to get to it. Its a lot easier to just push down on the pulley with the crowbar.

Thanks for the info... Ill kick the idle up a little more. BKubu- The elephant is actually from a symbol that is on a lot of the arab trucks and trailers over. They are made by a company called Mammut and they use that elephant as there symbol. That is an old picture because now there are...

ElkyRacer- Havent had too much problems with the new pumps but we have had a lot of problems with the old ones ( which is why we are updating them, we only have one truck left with the old style pump) Since they are running the rear winch, hydroboost, and steering on a severly overweight vehicle...

Got the overflow valve in today and changed it out. Between that and adjusting the star wheel in the AFC it has a LOT more power off idle!!! Thanks to everyone especially WillWagner and steelsoldiers for their help. two more quick questions... 1. when I pulled the 8mm plug on top of the AFC...

RE: Re: english service?? thats a sweet wrecker!

ElkyRacer- Ill get the build date on that truck tomorrow. On the PS pump we took everything off that truck because it has the old style PS pump (like the 998s) so we decided since we were changing the pump out anyway we decided to upgrade it to the new style PS pump. Unfortunately that means...

little bob- Have only seen a handful of M35s and none of them were armored. Lots of armored 900s and FMTV/LMTVs though

I agree totally about not relying too much on the armor. I often go to the RPAT yard and the DRMO yard to pull parts off disabled and blown up trucks. Some have have minor damage others are barely reconizeable as trucks. I have even seen an M1 with the turret blown off. I am fortunate in that my...

Just posted some M1114 pics in the Humvee section
