    M1079 only moves in reverse

    Read up in Section 6-2 code reading. There are no fault scenarios that only allow reverse shifting. Very very likely the keypad is defective. Simple fix. You have WTEC III control system.

    M1079 only moves in reverse

    Do need guidance on pulling transmission fault codes?

    M813 only front axle is engaging in mud?

    What you are describing is impossible, the T138 is direct-coupled to the rear bogie when in high or low range.

    M172A1.....Legal???

    M818s were used with 172s all day long in the military. Some 172s even have a data plate covering max GVWR when towed with a 5 ton tractor. The brakes are completely compatible.

    See the modulator sticking out of the transmission? That is only found on 3 speed transmissions.

    Wiring on my '52

    Welcome, glad you decided to start posting now. My personal preference would be to do away with the metal shell connectors and go with the current set up for which parts are super easy to come by. I use Erik’s for this. Good luck.

    M1008 idling good but engine shut off driving.

    The injection pump has a lot of plastic parts inside which do not have infinite life. Personally after 10 years after overhaul I expect the pump to leave me on the side of the road.

    Parasitic Draw

    No magic on HMMWVs. Start unplugging stuff until you isolate it. Likely culprit start box..

    M38 engine pan

    It is spotwelded on.

    remote start cranking time?

    You are asking to grind the teeth off your flywheel or starter gear. Just sit there with your thumb over the alarm like the rest of us and monitor the gauges and listen for knocking. I am not trying to be a smart ass even though this post may come off that way.

    What’s that for.?

    I was referring to the switch only.

    Thoughts on a 51 M38 price wise??

    Suggest you pay for an inexpensive membership here which will allow you to post a free classified ad. Ad needs a price, condition, lots of pictures, and what you are willing to do to assist the buyer with shipping.

    What’s that for.?

    Could be for rotating amber warning light (convoy light)

    Looking for Info on LMTV antenna mounts

    If you need 100 of these you will need to contact a fabricaator. Nobody will have that many. Determine the original manufacturer from the NSN data and see if they still have tooling to make more. These have been out of production since around 2005 when the cab went to armored.

    M35A2 has been sitting for 40+ years…

    It’s a 1970 model from the data plate. As long as it’s not rusted through all over I would not rule it out. Read the threads here, people have brand new wheel cylinders, axle seals etc fail on them so you are not escaping tons of maintenance by buying a running truck.

    How rare are M54s vs M35s?

    In my opinion, there were 10 M35s for every one M54. Many more of the 5 ton fleet were tractors.

    Ex-Military 'Anteater' tracked crane

    Is that a TD14 under the crane? Looks like a very worthy project.

    Curious

    Nope. Those are USMC 151's, and (time warp) they are stuck somewhere in strategic reserve, much like the HMMWVs coming out from USMC at this time. C/C is condition code and the A821 could be a code for the storage location.

    GP MTVR cab parts

    There is another thread about this topic. No resolution on that thread.
