The DB9 connection inside the box might be a way to program the eeprom rather than having to remove it? Or maybe to update whatever software runs the tilt (PAT) box maybe? I don't see an eeprom on the board pictures above. Maybe it is on the back side of the board?

Thanks Guy!!
I have them posted with a link below:

Same as with most other military trucks. Windows - up or down - rain or shine. Looks to me that the window was down more often than not when your truck was in service. That metal ring is the contact that gets grounded when you press the button that you don't have these days.

And load the thing up with some penetrating oil @ramdough .
AND it will help to give the puller a love tap every now and again to help the wheel move. Tension and Tap (repeat as necessary)
For whatever reason - guessing IDGARA - the windows aren't regularly rolled up when the military...

The big plus is that the hand operated air valve can ease out a sound. The electric solenoid is ON or OFF. Doesn't matter a lot on the smaller higher pitched horns. The ones that sound like a fog horn that you can ease out a sound from are really cool to have with the manual valve.

Let me string together a few of the guys and hopefully get you some answers. What you need to know is "above my paygrade".
Help Guys!

For what it's worth, Pat is tending to school related things with his son. He will be back in the driver's seat again soon. He has made time to deal with a complaint for ADS on the site for folks who aren't paying users. Not trying to "kiss up" or anything like that... Just trying to...

I can't answer for the MEP, but on a lot of trucks there is a ground wire under one of those bolts around the fuel sending unit. That blue and that red connector are most likely not factory connectors - and in your last picture - somebody bought the harbor freight cheap a$$ crimpers. The...

Just give me the word... With your approval, I will come with truck and trailer and pick yours up.
Then I promise that I will take pictures of my new FAV data plate for you. ;-)

Welcome to the Outfit!
Happy to hear that you bought yourself a Mobile Electrical Power generator. You might want to download the TM's (Technical Manuals). There is some pretty details troubleshooting in them thar books!
Links are below to make it easy to find them in the Technical Manuals...

Adding grease to the steering knuckles is by way of a Zerk fitting on a block of metal held in place with 4 bolts. Grease fitting is in the middle of that plate on above the boots. Regular grease will make you (your wallet) and your truck happy.
Nice rubber boots will keep the grease inside...

We have a couple of members here that create "sticker sets" or "stencil sets" for jeeps and trucks. ePay is also loaded up with sets of stickers for former military vehicles.

I understand that the radio might have been a RT-524 or a R-442.
To be honest, that is just from reading that I have done on this site.
Hopefully @SCSG-G4 can give more technically correct answers.

The key is that "sitting around doing nothing" is actually harder on a vehicle than being driven daily. Almost like people. If you sit around and don't get up and move around - eventually you will grunt and groan when you try to stand up. And the longer you do that the worse it gets...

It seems that a lot of radio devices are installed at the unit level. I don't know that there is a specific side of the truck (vehicle) for the antenna to be installed on. I can say that most of the trucks that I have seen with whips are on the back right.

Welcome to the Outfit!
We have the TM's (Technical Manuals) for the MUTT available as a free download. Don't hesitate to spend a little time reading. Especially the -10 version that is similar to the owner's manual in a civilian vehicle. I'm sure it has words of warning about safety in...
