    4L80E TCU Missing! Will it still move without it?

    Before you do any more transmission diagnostics, check all your CV shafts for missing bolts or blown CV joints.

    4L80E TCU Missing! Will it still move without it?

    The 4L80E should still move the truck in second gear even unpowered. Are you sure the transmission has enough fluid and the transfer is in gear?

    Flat packed jeep

    Eh, that is a marketing gimmick by Philippine reproduction Jeep body manufacturer MD Juan.

    Adding 2” receiver hitch to HMMWV and hit a snag

    Isn’t the castellated nut like 1.5” tall? Maybe cut 1/2” off it. edit: no it’s 1” tall and this would be unsafe

    Computer Mounting JCB-P

    Third’s bracket looks to be for the MTS Movement Tracking System. I didn’t think any JCB-P units were out yet. The previous BFT system mounted on the “digitization rack” behind the seat.

    Anyone install seat belts?

    Here is the install using the aforementioned threaded holes.

    Doing work....on a '54 A1

    Fun speculation: my A1 is dod 7/53, s/n 51130, so that equates to 23,000 A1s in a year, assume 260 working days on one shift, equals 88 A1s per day or 11 off the Toledo line per hour.

    M 1031 duel wheels

    All the 887 derived 1031s had the gas generator/welder. The box is similar between the 887 and the newer 1031, the newer box being set up with the PTO generator and the Miller XMT welder.

    M920 - starter spins but does not engage upon connecting batteries

    Looks correct. I would remove the starter and take it in for repair. I am also concerned that the spark you got when connecting the 12 volt feed was your alternator getting smoked due to reverse polarity.

    M920 - starter spins but does not engage upon connecting batteries

    Suggest you double check which cables are which in the battery box.

    M 1031 duel wheels

    My observations on the DRW SECM CUCV trucks, they all seem to have the transplanted M887 bodies from the M880 series Dodge trucks. I think Uncle pressed these into service as an expedient due to the SRW M1031s with the new shop bodies taking so long to hit the field.

    Need transport for inoperative M1083

    Suggest you call around for quotes from local heavy haul and wrecker companies that have Landoll trailers. They can winch on in minutes and may not charge too much if the move can happen when they are not busy. United States of Freight might bite on this as well. They know how to get this done.

    M920 - starter spins but does not engage upon connecting batteries

    920s are negative ground. The starter uses huge amps so if you are connecting batteries and the starter solenoid is stuck and powering the starter, there will be a huge spark at the battery terminal when you install the terminal on the post. The air compressor is direct gear drive from the engine.

    [Q] - Best way to remove lower bolt for rear lower A-arm?

    Nobody should be mocking you on this forum. That is a very legitimate question. I did mine like Mogman described.

    My first m35a1!..i think?

    Yes that is it. I see 0225 16289 that comes back as a 1967 year model M35A2 without winch. So yes you have a Memphis Equipment creation. Should be LD-465 naturally aspirated multifuel.

    Rebuilding Troop seats

    OEM is white oak, unless you have access to a planer, has to be milled to thickness and width and edges chamfered. Then painted. Then dozens of holes drilled. Of course disassembling the old racks and painting the staves is a huge pain as well.

    How should I do this? Rear trailing arm

    Technically those are called torque rods, here they are called dogbones. If one is shot, the others soon follow. Set aside a week of your time and replace them all. It’s no fun.
