    Got my m246a1 (reaper) home!

    Looks like only the brake backing plates were swapped, not the entire axle. The main data plate says M246, manufactured by International. I do believe that truck is a 1950's manufactured truck that originally was gas.

    m917 won't shut down.

    Next time it hangs up, reach under the dash and pull the connector off the ignition switch, if it kills the engine you need a new switch!

    In tank fuel pump

    Way too much current being drawn by the pump, if it burns up, well having a fire in a fuel tank cannot be good.

    Standing water=soupy ground. You will know to stay clear next time.

    LED Headlights for LMTV

    I put JW Speaker military LEDs in all 3 of our FD LMTVs and everyone loves them. About $150 each on ebay from time to time. Flawless.

    Isn't there supposed to be a rubber bushing here?

    There is no rubber bushing between the military wrap leaf and the eye leaf.

    Is it true of all the slews of bugs that the deuce has?

    That motor LDS427 had head gasket problems.

    Is it true of all the slews of bugs that the deuce has?

    The one bug the multifuel trucks have is a tendency to throw rods. No rhyme or reason why.

    Code 71 engine speed sensor circuit low

    If you are 100% certain you have good bubble free clean plentiful fuel flow to the ip and unrestricted return lines, and If you are 100% certain you have uninterrupted 24 volts to the ip, And your ip is over 10 years old, it's time for an overhaul.

    Code 71 engine speed sensor circuit low

    Sure. You said: " I already checked gas tank, fuel lines from tank to pump to filter (put in a new filter) and return lines. All are good with clean gas. " Knowing this, the symptoms you describe (stalling, no power, sometimes idles bad) are those of a failing injection pump.

    My first multifuel?

    The heads are interchangeable. If you buy a used one, have it checked for flatness.

    Code 71 engine speed sensor circuit low

    Your injection pump is shot.

    Code 71 engine speed sensor circuit low

    The injection pump solenoid has to get 24 volts for the engine to stay running. The circuit powering this solenoid is completely unrelated to any circuits related to the 4L80E.

    My first multifuel?

    For sure 1964. For sure M543A2. Maybe USA number of 5D6804 (interpolated) Data snip from Carnac's Historical Thread. EDIT: I didn't look closely enough at the database earlier.

    My first multifuel?

    Oh I like that machine you have there, like a Swiss Army knife. We don’t have anything like that in the US.

    Finding replacement headlights

    I solder pigtails onto the prongs and then insulate with a blob of silicone. Also, there is no way to incorrectly wire up a 24 volt seal beam to make it burn out.

    Anyone looking for a seemingly NIB 6.5L engine?

    Oh that is nice. GEP too. Example of the yummy surplus that local government gets to pick from. We get the left over garbage.

    M1031 Steering noise

    Hmm my HMMWV has that pump and it makes no noise. Lots of times these HMMWV engines were pulled from trucks in a very careless manner. Pump may have ingested big dirt.

    M1031 Steering noise

    Is the pump shot? Cummins swap won't fix that.

    New truck in Northern Virginia

    If the hood is straight and rust free, might as well use it, no difference from civilian other than color. Well that one has the hood ornament and associated hole. I would find a “6.2 LITRE” ornament and paint the chrome part green, would be unique.
