    Mep-803a water pump and stuck all the way to left fuel gauge

    Guy is right on. These machines sit for long periods of time and often need cleaning more than replacing of parts.

    M1101 tail lights?

    pull the parker connectors apart. Sometimes they are not inserted properly. Just because the connector is tight doesn't mean the metal parts are connected. I have pulled a few apart over the years and found the male part is not inserted into the female side properly and not making good contact...

    Mounting plate identification

    I have never seen that plate before and have had a couple of M1102's. There were some variants that had racks for comms gear, but I think you got a random piece from something else.

    Proper paint codes for 1986 M1008 CUCV ?

    Your welcome. My first piece of Green Iron (with engines as I have had several trailers) was a M1028 dually truck. Had a lot of fun and learned a lot on this forum from those in the know.

    Any interest on a deep dive into Cat C12 oil systems? Specifically into Oil Pressure?

    I don't have a truck that big (M1078 with CAT 3116), but it is always good to learn more. Even if there is not a ton of folks asking questions now, preserving your knowledge on a thread may help folks down the road as more of these trucks hit the civilian market.

    MEP 802A Fix-up Thread

    Was the leak from the return line coming off the hose barb? I just had to fix mine. It didn't have a hose clamp on it which allowed it to pop right off. Has one now and no more leak.

    California Title and CDL Requirements: M35A2

    There have been a ton of threads regarding registering military vehicles in California (or not as the state is trying really hard to not allow it to happen). The CDL requirements are for 3 axles or more, but the weight is under 26,000 not 6,000. The air brakes bring a next level into the...
