After installing a supplemental ground harness, cleaning ground connections, reattaching the ground to the fuel gauge (58H I think it was) and re-seating the gauge cluster - my wait light no longer comes on. Truck starts, runs and drives fine w/o any smoke. KDS start box. Ive spent a few hours...

Not that anyone is following this but I did get it sorted. Took an act of congress to find the cannon plug - (MS3106A16-9S or ending in P) but they are available on Ebay for about $25.

So for the record. We have Progressive (liability), American Collectors, & State Farm in Kerrville - for insuring sub 20 year old military Hmmwv trucks in Texas.

Under 20 years old and in Texas?

SOLVED !! And Insured ($475 / yr - non daily driver) !! Caden Strother 833-422-4248 ext 2550 C.Stro@yourmrinsurance.com Honest, reasonable, respectful and great to work with! Believe me ... I tried everywhere - Caden was the only one who got it done. Im moving my 1939's there next week~

I had some hope of "correcting" the date of manufacture to the trucks "pre R1) date. Ive corrected a title before in Texas and it's not a terrible process. But, after corresponding with AM General - there are no alternative manufacture date. Once these trucks went through a depot level reset...

Ha! That's how I feel right now. But like I tell my daughter, we don't have problems... Only solutions. I have a hope to find original build date for the R1. And that might be a solution if the build date (before revision) is older than 06

What state are you in?

I'll give progressive a call. Thanks for the tip

Hard no from SF and I have our home, daily drivers and what I would have thought was enough to make them take note there. Classic vehicles are generally considered 20 years old or more it would seem.

Also said they can't. And I have our ranch insuranced there. They could cover it for loss like a tractor but not liability. They did say 5 years ago it was a very different game at FB

You got lucky... They absolutely will not do it with my 06... and I have 5 other vehicles insured with them

This is a tough one. I have been through all of the usual suspects w/o any luck - Stamped VIN on tag 601530, on Body 1530 State Farm - hard no Hagerty - not old enough Progressive - no JC Taylor - cant be used off road (probably shouldn't have mentioned that) Farm Bureau - tried but cant find...

Dang good advice sir! Much thanks for that! Im checking the wiring diagram next. I think 3C (my culprit) ties into 3B at the alternator. Will verify in the daylight Thanks for that

Well I would but the factory 3c ground became so hot that its now brittle to the point where it connects the main harness. Ive spliced in a new mil spec 10AWG wire but for my money thats not good enough because a spice creates an additional point of failure. So supplementing that route (harness...

The next plan is to augment the existing grounds. From what I can see - and this seems common to all "older" vehicles, the grounds seem to degrade at their contact point over time. Im my case and 10AWG wire was the weakest link and let the smoke escape... so where adding a supplemental ground to...

Not that anyone cares.. but this Cannon plug is a bugger to track down. Best Ive been able to find so far is MS3106A16-9S from Newark. Good news it worked and my charging system seems to be "un-fried" Next - re-ground everything!!!

I have radiators built for custom application both in the US and China. Both with electric fans.... It would take a heck of a fan to move as many CFM as the stock units. As well as some shrouding work. The complexity of DWF application would be add another wrinkle to an electric unit.. A fan...

So the plot thickens ... I pulled continuity on some wires and the large 3C ground seems to become part of a larger ground headed towards the drivers side of the motor. Which is when I noticed the wire going into the back of the regulator (photo attached). All the other wire connections on...
