    Cranks but doesn't start (pics attached)

    AC means alternating current. Do your glow plugs work? Doesn’t look like it. Most 6.5s won’t start cold without them functioning.

    Is my tranny shot ?

    Carefully check your CV joints.

    Materials for HMMWV M998?

    Looks like a AM-1777 amplifier base. Takes a MT-1029 mount and will go on your HMMWV radio shelf just fine. That setup would have been installed in HMMWVs back in the 80's. Replaced by SINCGARS.

    M101A2 to 5 Lug?

    Silly me thought you wanted to go back to 5 lug Budds. Can’t help you at all.

    Received 2002 M1097A2 for firetruck build - looking for advice

    Most of the users on here are trying to reduce the spring rate for a softer ride, but Uncle likes to load these to GVWR and then some and then couple a trailer too. So the platform can handle the weight. Especially the A2s.

    Received 2002 M1097A2 for firetruck build - looking for advice

    There are military foam skid mounts specifically designed for HMMWVs available. Might look into one of those. Otherwise the military never had a drop in water tank made for HMMWVs. You will need to have one fabricated. Needs to be as low profile as possible to avoid rollover issues, and...

    1078 won’t start

    So you are saying they smoked the original WTEC controller, and sourced a new one, and now this new one is giving you cats eyes? Again I would send both controllers in for diagnostics.

    1078 won’t start

    Can you ask the previous people that worked on it what was the original issue? If the WTEC showing cats eyes was the original problem, they went down the wrong road. Since now they have jacked around with all the wiring, many additional issues may have been introduced. Nevertheless, if it...

    1078 won’t start

    Well that is why your truck won’t start, if the WTEC controller isn’t happy it will start inhibit. Get the WTEC up and happy with no codes and she will crank normally with any luck.

    1078 won’t start

    What is the code? Do you have access to the Allison troubleshooting guide? What year is the truck?

    NDT 9.00-20 tire lifespan

    They seem to last forever age wise. I have some 1964 Gates tires on my truck that are still going strong. Mileage wise, on the front, they can wear out in a few thousand miles. Usually the tire will show signs of impending disaster, like vibration, cracks, bulges etc, that you should be...

    Do I need all these wires?

    You definitely need the smaller wires that power the transmission controller.

    Rack in between front seats

    Yeah if the HD is wiped then all you are getting is the caddy which is needed to adapt the HD to the CPU. The HD is nothing special. Not even solid state.

    yup it shouldn't:oops:

    Silly AI has not learned about crosswind effect of a huge trailer on a small light tow vehicle.

    LAS VEGAS_BRAND NEW M1097R1 owner- Any tips?

    Personally, I run Delo 400 15W40, Rotella is great too. There is a lot of confusion and opinions on coolants, I use the Prestone "all vehicle" stuff.

    LAS VEGAS_BRAND NEW M1097R1 owner- Any tips?

    Well I looked at it on GP and I think you got a gem. Recent rebuild at Maine Military Authority. An Army HMMWV not USMC. Not cannibalized in any way. Demil limited to removal of radio equipment. Runs like a swiss watch. I see no leaks. The 40,000 miles showing does not look accurate...

    The next Project an ASMH

    The museum should consider “destination wrenching” events where people like me could spend 3-4 days out there working on stuff.

    1944 M20 Armored Car hydraulics

    If it comes to this, this business in Houston can manufacture anything seal related out of any material. They make packing type seals for me constantly. www.ctgasket.com

    1944 M20 Armored Car hydraulics

    You must be using DOT 3 brake fluid. Switch to DOT 5 and never have to rebuild again ever.
