    Axletech isas 4500 steering set up

    I came across a few new Axletech ISAS 4500 independent coil spring suspension systems. These are used in the newest RG31 MK5 EHM MRAPS. They weren't cheap but they should offer a unique offroad experience. I haven't got my hands on them yet but I am thinking of using a bobbed M931A2 as a...

    M1070 dual gauge installation question

    My M1070 has the original design older one piece combination speedo/tach gauge w/out hour meter, instead of the more typical and updated separate speedo tach gauges. Well, I came across a new panel with the separate gauges and would like to use it in mine. But when I got it and was able to see...

    PLS system question

    I have an idea floating around in my head, but right now I need to confirm from someone in the know, wether the Military's PLS loading system vehicle's cargo locks are of the same design and at the same dimensional locations as a typical 20 foot sea container. In other words can a...

    Trying to figure out the general layout of the m1070s electrical system.

    I am still trying to get a hold of a wiring diagram for the M1070 that I can actually read, and one I could print and read afterward would even be better. I had posted earlier that my M1070 doesn't have a battery disconnect, and as I am getting ready to do that, I first had a few questions. It...

    8V92T no cooler?

    I was wondering if there is a reason why the 8V92Ts don't seem to be inner cooled. I know that they are 2 strokes and also inherently require a supercharger just to run, so maybe its a 2 stroke thing? 500 hp from a 12 liter diesel without being inner cooled is rather impressive. Just wondered if...

    M1070 battery disconnect?

    My M1070 does not seem to have a battery disconnect and I was wondering if someone would be nice enough to take a couple pictures of yours so I could copy it. The manual doesnt show what it looks like and even if it did it would most likely just be a drawing anyways. I wanted it to somewhat...

    Who can tell me what this says on my m1070? Arabic?

    I finally got my M1070 today. I have been crawling around,under and in it this afternoon seeing how everything is set up but there is one thing I will never figure out! I suppose it must be something fairly common like maybe a warning or USA? I dont know what each character represents so I cant...

    Engine fan air actuator temperature setpoint

    I have a m931A2 I am working on and I am not sure if the fan actuator is working correctly or not. The trucker who picked it up mentioned to me on the phone to take a look at the fan clutch but didn't expand on it. I have not been able to run the truck on the road yet do to other problems, but I...

    Trying to educate myself on the ctis

    I now have 3 939A2s and none as of yet have a working CTIS system, and none have ever worked since I have owned them. All 3 now have the 5 flashing light deal. After the first two trucks didnt work I was just going to give up on them since they are wreckers and I dont need different pressure...

    Why didnt the military just update the older m1070s?

    With most of the M1070s I have seen for sale being so low mile and relatively new I was wondering why the Army didnt just update them like the new model, with the Cat C18, newer 7 spd Allison and new model 1 spd transfer case, instead of replacing them with a completely new unit. But then I was...

    Swapping in a front axle into the rear

    I dont have years of experience dealing with the rockwell axles found in the 5 tons like some on this forum, but by looking at the dual front and rear input/output flanges it seems like it would be a natural to swap in a front axle to the rear for rear steering. I cant be anywhere near the first...

    They stole my air dryer!

    So I took delivery of a M931A2 today. It came from Fontana, and at pick up my trucker guy Robert mentioned that the air dryer was gone and that he had to bypass it to get it up on the trailer. Anyways so its gone. I took a quick look at where it was originally installed and it seems that it had...

    Quick tips on getting parts for m939s

    I am new to these trucks and I am now in need for some parts. I have been snooping around the vender forums and it seems its hit and miss as far as specific parts go unless you want parts from salvage trucks. I was wondering what are the best options for parts for these trucks. I imagine it...

    First baby step mod for my new m936a2

    Well I am really happy with my first M939 which happens to be the wrecker. But one of small annoying thing I noticed really quick was the lock on the rear PTO engagement lever. I assume mine is like the rest in which there is no easy way to release it, I used a pair of vise grips. I decided to...
