    desire nicer riding LMTV when empty

    lower tire pressure at highway speeds will equate to blown out side walls for what it is I think the lmtv rides pretty good. mine rides better than my companys t-300 kenworth trucks. besides take a ride in a duce or 915 and compare it to your lmtv.

    New to me M51A2

    check battery connections and check grounds ensure the block has a good ground back to the battery. The military usually runs a wire from the battery back to the block. I have seen people take a short cut and ground to the frame than the block looses its ground through the rubber mounting points.

    M939 A2 just stopped

    Sounds like the shut down control, there are 2 coils in them 1 is pull in when cranking and the other is hold. as the hold coil deteriorates over time it will start to let the fuel shutdown lever drop back down. you can wire the shut down lever in the up position to test the theory.
