    Not unless you got a -34 manual. And then would have to bee on the engine itself

    It was worth a shot. Too bad everyone I know went into the air force.

    I don't suppose you have a link to that manual? I'm looking for a manual for my VT903C. I purchased one as a spare for starting a Gas Turbine, it didn't come with a manual, or filters, or hoses, or a history. I need to buy all new filters, but I don't know what the requirements are. Don't even know what kinda oil is best for it.

    wouldn't do you any good.

    It would tell you to use 15W40 oil for the engine, it would reference a NSN for the filter which could get you one of about 5-6 brands of filters, but likely just a Baldwin.

    The CAV version, M3 (?), of the Bradley would have the same engine also, wouldn't it?

    yes and no.

    The M2/M3 was rated at 350 hp if memory serves me and the A2 versions were uprated to 550 hp for the added armor to them.

    So the engine is the same, but just turned up more.


    The M2 was a infantry vehicle and the M3 was a cavalry vehicle. Mainly the crew compartments were different in that they carried a full infantry squad of 11 in the M2 vs a 3-man dismount team in the M3.

    Thanks for the info. I was a HET driver in the 80s and 90s. We hauled a lot of both of them.
