    Another HMMWV in limp mode

    That’s the root of your problem. DO NOT guess which wire is which, trace them out, the opposite end should be marked as well.

    Are you in transfer low range? Dumb question but have to ask.

    NV4500 Swap - Can I use a 96 Chevy 3500 donor truck?

    I think the front driveshaft is on the opposite side on GMT400s. Might have to swap transfer case. Also the 6.5 in ‘95 is electronic engine management, you will have to loose that.

    M38A1 maxes out at 35mph

    Sounds like you are way short on engine power. Mine goes 60+ with ease. The axles have 5:38 ratio, there is no ratio that would make it slower only faster.

    Runaway kill switch

    Old 2 cycle Detroit Diesels had that feature. Never heard of a 4 cycle Diesel engines having it. These multifuel runaways typically happen when the fuel control lever in the injection pump is gummed up from sitting for years. If you drive your truck periodically you should be fine.

    Sure, that is an OA-331 "Gold Comet" gasoline engine used in M35 series trucks in the 1950s. 331 cubic inches, overhead valve. Made by Reo Motors and Continental Motors

    Vacuum and timing, weird engine issues

    I don’t have any ideas other than that you will have to continue diagnostics to find either a vacuum leak or carburetor issues. Mine would routinely flood the carb due to float needle sticking open due to fuel trash. Then it would run rough and smoke too.

    Vacuum and timing, weird engine issues

    Engine in vid sounds great. Mine is a bit clattery sounding also. On the vacuum circuit, the only vacuum use during normal (no wipers) operation should be the crankcase ventilation valve. Engine vacuum is also routed to the fuel/vacuum pump, then the wipers. It’s possible the vacuum pump...

    Federal Standards Paint Brand Question

    I use the SW Kem-lustral wrought iron flat black and it is perfect in every way. I source this from my local store. It might be possible to source these paints from your local store as well. I know the FS numbers are in their system.

    REV Truck Air Conditioning

    Right 500 psi way to high even at 100 ambient.

    REV Truck Air Conditioning

    Two reasons. When the system is opened to do the repair, air and humidity enters the system. Air is “non-condensable” meaning it can’t function as refrigerant. Moisture will cause corrosion inside the system.

    REV Truck Air Conditioning

    Ugh something failed big time. Maybe you can find out what blew out yourself. Look for oily spots in the area you described. If something like an evaporator coil blew, you will need to find that part and either replace it yourself or supply it to the shop. They won’t have access to military...

    My 2008 4speed R1 (and learning)

    Best part is load out what 1 hour from the house? Nice buy!

    Did the CCKW, or M5H6 International have combat rims?

    If you are using a M62, just rig up a drag winch pull with as many part line as you have snatch blocks for and the truck will pull out. Don’t even try the ridiculous nylon strap jerk pulls you see on u tube.
