    No reading on main battery

    I have run into this before on a 1009. The connection between the copper strands in the battery cable and the crimped on battery terminal has degraded. Replace whichever cable is bad.

    New Doors Vs X-Doors

    It's all about what you are doing with your truck. If you plan on rhinolining the entire truck, adding 20's, Duramax conversion, etc, then by all means use the aftermarket doors. Restoration to be an authentic military vehicle? OEM doors.

    1083a1 door?

    Do you need a NSN or a door? The entire door assembly with everything included is not an issue item to my recollection.

    HMMWV replacement windows...glass or polycarbonate?

    Glass is 20x14. 3/8 thick for basic, 5/8 thick for armor.

    Excessive smoke on M54?

    Looks about right to me. These engines "rolled coal" before it was cool. It will clear up some as you run nice clean fuel through it.

    X-Doors

    Can’t answer your question but possibly McMaster-Carr has every imaginable length rivet available and it tells you which to use for a given combined material thickness.

    Deuce cab repairs

    I think you caught it in time to be able to fix it. Cab swaps are no fun as you have to thread the cab over the long steering column from way up high.

    M35a2 Accessory Switch

    This was a problem for the Army, apparently if you leave the accessory switch on for hours, fuel will get past the injectors and cause the dreaded hydrostatic lock. That’s why good soldiers were supposed to crank the engine with the fuel control pulled out at first and then push it in after a...

    TRUCK M35A2 U.S AIR FORCE

    Ah but the tractor truck in the pics is none other than the mighty White 666, WWII 6 ton 6x6. Same as my avatar.

    TRUCK M35A2 U.S AIR FORCE

    M1114 w/ Soft Top?

    As you can see from the pictures, once you remove all the armor, roof etc you are left with the same basic HMMWV body since 1985. No clue why they are pulling the air cleaner.

    MRAP frame

    Looks like it’s for the wrecker. Looks pretty useless.

    M1093A1 Windshield help

    Those are just flat safety glass, have your local glass shop cut you some out.

    M114 Track Tension

    Back it up, should be no track droop on top, right behind the drive sprocket.

    ODD turbo engine

    For sure it’s junk but that won’t stop someone from paying $3500 for it …
