    What to do with old Armasafe batteries?

    While we are on the topic of ancient Armasafes, I JUST had a 2011 battery die after around 8 years on the maintainer. It was fine until one day the maintainer said "load present" and sure enough the battery case was warm. Voltage dropped off after a day off the maintainer. Bye old friend.

    Transmission control module questions

    Did you click on the link, go to post 8, open supplement 7, and read page 49 about the 12 and 24 volt circuitry that is needed for the TCM to come to life?

    What to do with old Armasafe batteries?

    Obtain an AGM maintainer, connect it to the dead battery. The maintainer will say "Battery is flatlined". Obtain a GOOD agm battery and connect the two batteries IN PARALLEL. (positive to positive, negative to negative). Reconnect the maintainer. This time the maintainer will see voltage...

    Transmission control module questions

    Hello and welcome. This issue comes up a lot and most of the time, the TCM is not the problem. Wiring in and around the battery box is. Here is a thread that contains the 4L80E bible for HMMWVs, "supplement 7" M1123 transmission | SteelSoldiers

    What to do with old Armasafe batteries?

    Newer Armasafes can be brought back to life. It’s a weeks long process.

    Well...My rear end ground up today.

    I believe the rear rear on the 6x6 is the same as the rear on a 4x4. Someone who has switched their 1078 to “high speed gears” probably has the old pumpkin sitting around.

    Skytrack 6000m troubleshooting?

    I believe these telehandlers are a militarized version of the Skytrak 6042 or 6036. I would poke my head into a United Rentals repair shop and ask if any mechanics there need beer money, they should be very familiar with these fork lifts.

    Old photos of 5 ton trucks - M813, M923

    Ask Wes about what they are for. When a green camo truck is traveling in the middle of the night with two tiny red tail lights and two tiny reflectors on an Autobahn at convoy speed, and a besoffen driver in a BMW comes up to them at 160 km/hr, someone is bound to die. The delineators give...

    M416 Data Plate

    If you do a lot of Googling, you might be able to find factory original data plate images with similar dates of delivery, that will have the mfgr on it. I think the mfgr is Stevens for that year but I could be wrong. Nice trailer btw.

    M416 Data Plate

    That is not the original, that was applied during an overhaul. The original would have the mfgr printed not stamped on it.

    Black Dog Customs Hydraulic Fan Delete Kit

    I did when I did this mod 25 years ago. I think it’s possible to figure it out from the Kascar or HPG website. The viscous clutch is from a 90’s Chevy 6.5 truck.

    Black Dog Customs Hydraulic Fan Delete Kit

    Why on earth would someone drop $700 on that? Just use H1 parts.

    Best Source for X-Door Glass?

    Are you looking for basic or supplemental (5/8” thk)? Size is 20x14 and I plan to get pieces made locally and make sandwiches with silicone pookie around the perimeter to keep water out.

    Serial Number/Unit Markings for a 1953 Manufacturered Truck

    Sweet! Carnac’s list confirms your numbers. See where I drew the line, yours fits in the sequence perfectly. The registration number on your glove box door is what needs to go on the hood. Canrac’s list is missing the 00 as I am sure the database wouldn’t accept leading zeros.

    M35a2 PTO operation

    You don't have a PTO. What are you even talking about.

    M35a2 PTO operation

    It’s not clear to me if you have a transmission or transfer case PTO. On the transmission PTO, you don’t have to engage any transmission gears to engage the PTO.

    Serial Number/Unit Markings for a 1953 Manufacturered Truck

    Can you extrapolate anything from CARNAC's file on M62s? I am pretty sure the registration number for 1950's trucks should be all numerical.
