    Looking to buy a truck - missing sensor? help needed

    Looks like C7. You need to decide if the disassembly was due to one of two reasons: either uncle needed a part for a different truck OR the mechanics looked inside and said OMG it’s trashed, off to DRMO with you.

    1996 LMTV 1078 cab has not power

    Can you verify what year you have? 1996 trucks do not have LBCDs. If it’s a later model (A1) truck that does indeed have LBCD and solenoids at the battery box, the recommendation it to remove the solenoids and jump past them. This typically fixes this issue.

    Battery- stop gap?

    2 of the military ones that test out the best. The remaining 3 are not far behind if similar date codes.

    Once you get the 6.5 out on the grass let us know if the block is any good. I need a good block for a civi 6.5.

    Best gear setup to get out of the deep mud: H.... HL...... D.... 2.... 1......

    Every time I have been in the slop it’s the exact opposite of rock climbing: maximum possible wheel speed to sling the mud from the tread and keep momentum up.

    4HN might work barely.

    Is this vehicle dependable? I need advise

    It’s only dependable after massive amounts of predictive maintenance and upgrades. If you don’t need the all terrain capabilities, these are a horrible choice for a work truck.

    Deuce steering box leak

    Ya gotta pull the engine to remove the steering gear to rebuild it. Switch over to grease and roll on.

    Bricked ?

    You have a 24 volt jump pack? If you used a 12 volt jump pack that will not do much. Can you ask (PM) moderators (Guyfang) to move this thread to the FMTV forum so the usual experts will see it.

    Rewiring/wiring questions advice

    Any crunchy wiring needs to be replaced les you have a fire. Suggest you cost out the OEM harnesses vs making an entirely new 12 volt harness either yourself or by a pro.

    Bricked ?

    What voltage did you apply to which solenoid, the 12 or 24 volt one? Is the battery connection correct? GP and the Army for that matter likely could have gotten it wrong.

    Bricked ?

    You might have damaged something. But guess what you came to the right place for diagnostic support on these. Need to know if you have your batteries connected properly to begin with. You are aware the truck has a combo 12 & 24 volt system right?

    Y'all are missing the sin here. I think this was a MTP warranty case.

    Headlight Issue

    I would verify the wire tag numbers are correct, meaning the ground wire is actually the ground wire. If everything is correct then your bulb is defective.

    Transfer case slipping out of gear?

    Typically what causes this is loss of parallelism between gears, then a sideways thrust is applied to the gear which overcomes the detent ball in the shift rail. The issue is caused by one of the gears carrier shaft bearings failing. Well you know why.

    Need some opinion on value

    Hmm, if you don’t want to take on this project, maybe the answer is to sell it to someone who does want to take it on. Looks like a very easy project compared to others I have seen and started with.
