    Happy day, M1123 arrived today, question on fuel line

    That fuel hose and the little clips are the same as civilian 6.5, hose kits available from Leroy Diesel, S&S Diesel, others …

    Need Help Starting 2003 A1 M1078 - Addison, Texas

    Agree, this sounds like cable terminal ends, what can happen is corrosion occurs between the copper strands and the crimped on connector, leading to intermittent weird behavior. Get your voltmeter, starting at the batteries, work your way towards the pdp until you find voltage dropping off...

    Need Help Starting 2003 A1 M1078 - Addison, Texas

    What is going on in the relay box next to the battery box? Are the relays coming on? There is one relay for 12 volts and one for 24 volts.

    What year should I put on the SF97 request form?

    Its a 2001 year model. Go with that.

    M916 Alternator Trouble

    The transformer rectifier device is potted in, meaning the components are surrounded by solid potting material. It's not fixable. Disconnect the wires going to it before it catches fire.

    Do I have a transfer case problem?

    The automatic transmission “windmills” the internal components even in neutral. That’s why you are getting the grinding.

    LMTV Cargo Cover install questions

    Looking good. Valence can make those stupid long straps so you can replace the temporary orange ones. Suggest you start a different thread for the surging issue. Check belt tension. Check battery terminals. Check LBCD for bad connections.

    Water in crankcase

    Post the engine compartment auction pics. Yermo or Albany? Water in the engine is usually due to USMC leaving the air intake open to the elements for years.

    M49 deuce generator sourcing

    Suggest you upgrade to Delco alternator, only reason to keep the 25 amp system is to win awards at military vehicle shows. Lots of threads on doing the swap.

    My first multifuel?

    Definitely was a wrecker, only wreckers had the Mico brake lock and the rear facing transfer PTO. Also the level wind on the winch is a wrecker thing.

    TRUCK M35A2 U.S AIR FORCE

    That is a wrecker chassis. Missing the wrecker bed. Not much can be done with it.

    Vacuum hose

    Looks like fording hoses. What's with the Kermit the frog green?

    Radio mount for HMMWV GMV

    This huge radio stack looks cool and all but be forewarned that it blocks the driver view of the RH mirror. I am going with the cooler Blue Force computer even though GMVs didn’t seem to have those.

    My 1985 m1038 hope you folks like it. In Vancouver Canada :)

    Oh you did an incredible job on that one! Love the 100 amp alternator! Was your truck USMC in service?

    Control Box Schematics

    Solenoids have been used to switch on heavy DC loads like starter motors since cars didn’t have cranks. My 1968 Ford still has the factory starter solenoid with 350,000 miles.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    If you are not familiar with setting up R&P in a heavy truck, take/send your pumpkins along with your new R&P to a competent shop like MTP drivetrain Many, LA.

    Radio mount for HMMWV GMV

    I believe the tray is the same as usual, what they did was have that u shaped surround made so more stuff could be mounted on top. Somebody was reproing those, maybe 86humv.

    Control Box Schematics

    My suggestion would be to offer new "guts" for the existing boxes we have. That will eliminate the expense of the box and the expensive connectors. And pppplease use a big honkin solenoid, not those 3 in a row transistors to light up the glows.

    1998 humvee drivetrain storage question

    I know you posted in the HMMWV section, but are you talking about a Chevy cutaway with the 6.5? The USMC HMMWVs typically are not fluid drained, whereas USAF vehicles are. I wouldn't drop pans but I would grab the crank pulley and make sure the engine is free.

    Alternative to D51R Optima on MEP-802A

    There is a group 51 agm available but be aware it has little tiny posts for a disgusting prius. I bought one at NAPA, didn’t really look at it until I had it in the store parking lot, ah no. Back it went.
