Former Artillery truck looks like…crane is obviously aftermarket…View attachment 834547
perfect parking and timing for this reflection at a rest area on the way home...

Just make sure use OE40W onlyAnyone change their Tcase fluid yet? I'm wondering if they got similar looking oil as mine
How far from Barstow?Madball, if you even find yourself a couple hours North, stop by my house and help me with my truck. lol
It came with a bullet hole in the front fender, empty .50 shells laying in the frame behind the cab and chunks of metal sticking out of the tires. So if it was artillery they were to far forwardFormer Artillery truck looks like…crane is obviously aftermarket…![]()
It has holes drilled all around the windshield frame and the doors do not appear to be the ones it came with, cab has doubled up shocks and doesn't give much as is, in fact never felt it move yet. I am learning the truck from the ground up so all I can tell you is what I see. It had a heavy multi connector cable running thru it, cut in several places when we got it and some interesting mounting holes on the dash directly in front of driver and passenger seats, as well as the cable coming out thru a slot cut in the fuse cover panel. infrared lights switch is a rotary thing that was just laying on the engine cover under the dash, was not done in the style as the rest of the wiring.The M11330 is a RUC number for a Marine unit, the truck beings to 3rd BN, 11th Marines which is a artillery unit stationed in 29 Palms CA. The brass is probably from a range when it had a turret on it, we get those a lot where I work with .50 cal and m-240 brass. That truck does not appear to have had the armor installed on it, but I would have to see a picture of the underneath of the cab or a picture of the front shocks to tell for sure.
The double up shocks is normal. If drilled holes in the gram then it may have one of the old original armored windshields.It has holes drilled all around the windshield frame and the doors do not appear to be the ones it came with, cab has doubled up shocks and doesn't give much as is, in fact never felt it move yet.

Biggest pain I have is left rear stop turn light refuses to work, dead at the firewall connector, I am thinking the issue is in the main gauge cluster as all the inputs, flasher, and stop switch work. My half assed wire tracing seems to indicate those inputs pass thru the circuit board on the back side of the gauge panel. I just have not aired it down (disconnect the air gauge) so I could take the whole panel out and trace it all thru. Any guidance you can give would be greatly appreciated.
I Have been working on the MTVR for 18 years now, I used to work for Oshkosh as a FSR in Iraq….I have done pretty much everything to them.The double up shocks is normal. If drilled holes in the gram then it may have one of the old original armored windshields.
mas for the turn signals, more than likely it is the turn signal cam. Turn signals do not go thru the circuit board behind the cab. Just the turn signal indicators.Do the 4 ways work and the brake lights?
Right rear brake & turn work, front turns both sides work, flasher only runs the right front, I have not pursued that issue yet (flashers)The double up shocks is normal. If drilled holes in the gram then it may have one of the old original armored windshields.

Sounds like turn signal cam is the issue. If the flasher was bad none of the 4 ways flashers would not work.Right rear brake & turn work, front turns both sides work, flasher only runs the right front, I have not pursued that issue yet (flashers)
Left rear Brake does not work. Used a can of contact cleaner on the turn signal switch removed pound of sand seems to work with better "feel"Right rear brake & turn work, front turns both sides work, flasher only runs the right front, I have not pursued that issue yet (flashers)
connector to the flasher "box" under the dash was falling apart had to replace it as it would drop connection in time with bumps.Sounds like turn signal cam is the issue. If the flasher was bad none of the 4 ways flashers would not work.
Power from Circuit Breaker to Flasher to Cam to turn signals…..have to look at my schematicsLeft rear Brake does not work. Used a can of contact cleaner on the turn signal switch removed pound of sand seems to work with better "feel"
Is that path crossed with the brake lights? I have traced the signal to the turn signal switch and back put for left and right flashers. What I would give for the page of schematics. this has consumed several hours of my life.Power from Circuit Breaker to Flasher to Cam to turn signals…..have to look at my schematics
Brake lights connect with turn signals only in the turn signal cam. I cannot show you actual schematics but I may be able to draw it out.Is that path crossed with the brake lights?

Could but I will not have access to my TM’s till WednesdayMaybe we should get on a PM for this...
