    No More Drilling Hub Screws!

    Or just pull the hubs with drums attached and combine brake overhaul with wheel bearing repack.

    New Guy from Texas - M882

    A nightmare you will have bringing this truck back to life is the fuel pickup/sender assy. It will be rusted and full of holes. Suggest pulling the tank and going through the fuel system completely.

    New Guy from Texas - M882

    Nice rig! Looks like a wrecker push bumper on there. Yeah 16.5 tires are a huge issue. I am running Transforce 9.5R16.5s by Firestone. About all that is available in a name brand tire.

    1997 HMMT M977

    Simplest solution might be to print out a JIC fitting ID chart and back into the hose configurations you need. Then head over to your local hydraulic hose shop.

    1990 998 Headlight Issues

    Are your bulbs burned out? Very common issue.

    US Marine Corps M37

    100% for sure it's USMC. Fording control, rear lifting brackets and of course the paper clips confirm the data plate. Bed top rails look like the chain gang was not gentle with whatever they were doing.

    M916/920 vs M1088

    916/920 are poor performers off road with the cookie cutter highway tires.

    Best M35 year and model ?

    A2 for sure. Best deuce the Army ever had.

    Transmission Problems

    With the truck idling in park, the torque converter is transmitting motion to the planetaries in the transmission as well as the transmission oil pump. Resealing the transmission is not too difficult, remove the transfer first, then slide the transmission back onto a stack of wood.

    Sweet telephone truck! When these dot 3 brake fluid trucks sit forever, the fluid tends to leak out of the wheel cylinders and make a big rusty mess on the shoes and drums. Try backing off the shoes and dragging the truck back and forth to pop the shoes loose. If the drums stay stuck, it...

    Once again into the (electrical) breach (24v trouble light)

    It's one of these, not sure which: Insulgrip Twist-Lock | Locking Devices | Wiring Devices | Electrical & Electronic | Products | Wiring Device - Kellems (hubbell.com)

    Once again into the (electrical) breach (24v trouble light)

    That is a baby Hubbell twist lock. M915s have the socket for that light mounted in the cab.

    Identify air fitting - Alemite

    That is your axle vent. There is nothing wrong with it. What has failed is a wheel hub CTIS seal which is pressurizing your axle housing. Edit: Well you added more pictures. It is not your axle vent.

    WC62 project

    Is that hard cab a military kit? Looks like there is a cutout for the front of the bed. Never seen one like that.

    1943 BX-2435 2.5kw genset

    Adorable little unit. Be aware if you plan to actually use it, the grease in the armature end bearing might be no good after 78 years, leading to a failure. The oil pan may be half full of goop as well, leading to oil starvation.

    4L80E No shift from 2nd---SOLVED!

    Well since you ALREADY read supplement 7, you know you are in limp mode and you have “undefined ratio errors”. That means the computer is expecting a certain numerical ratio between the tiss and toss and it’s not seeing that. Why is the question. Could be several reasons such as smoked...

    Looking for seats

    Probably easiest to make a set. Use the #1, #3, and #5 stave from a M35A2 set. Get the red oak slats made at a local mill.

    Is this a WW2 Jeep Pintle?

    M915: some sage advice needed - Freezing Trouble

    I replaced the prehistoric AD5 with a Haldex Purest. It will fit in the factory location barely.

    Transmission Problems

    I would start by verifying if the PRND21 detents inside the transmission are lining up with the steering column indicator.
