Now that my PRC-47 is up and running I need to torture myself further with another project. Looking for some help sourcing a GRC-9 to throw in my WWII MB jeep. If you know of one for sale I would appreciate the info.
Mine gave me 20 seconds warning it was about to go. It sounded like the exhaust had broke and got noisy and losing power then she shut off like turning the key. Pulled the pan and the crank was snapped near the center bearing. Took out a few connecting rods and broke parts off the block...
I would opt for option #3 with alot of research/feedback on the company you choose. IP's are complex and require special tools, etc and better left to those who are familiar with them. I have replaced 4 6.2 pumps and always had good luck with online rebuilds. It was the same price difference...
Good progress Nick. I lost the 6.2 in my M1009 last year 15 miles from home, crank snapped in half. Is that a mule transmission I see being used as a jack stand? HI HI
If it's hard starting hot more than likely the injector pump needs replacing. Good rebuilt pumps can be had for under $400 but installing it is labor intensive. Don't give up yet, your'e almost there.
I had the same problem with my 003A, it turned out to be a bad battery. When I had it hooked up to my shop truck with the slave cable the battery charging system worked fine, as soon as I unhooked it the voltage jumped past 30v. Double check your batteries.
If that is the jeep in the book then I would not call it a true restoration. There are many modifications from original. Hopefully the author has made note of this so as not to confuse them as original parts.
Here is another source for the regulator SupplyCore Part Detail - NSN 2920-01-038-5252 - REGULATOR AND RECTI it was $89.78, arrived within a week and is new.
I think some of the early windshields used a flanged bumper with a fabric covering like on a M38 instead of a rubber bumper. Not sure on the tm hole, might have been modified, should be easy to tell. Those tunnel covers are pretty common.
There is a ribbon cable that attaches to the back of the instrument panel, these are famous for bad connections then burning out. I think you are wasting your time and money by hanging new parts without finding out what the actual problem is, your'e just guessing.
Perhaps they had a piece of glass that was close and used the tin as a spacer. You can use a single piece of glass and a new gasket, just take it to a glass stor and have it made. Otherwise you will need the spacer and two pieces of glass to make it original.
The M151/M151A1 had a two piece windshield with 2 vacuum wiper motors, the A2 had a one piece with asingle electric wiper motor. All you need to convert them back and forth are the correct hinges.
There was never any rails for the bedsides. The dunnage lifts the shelter off of the bed sides. All the S-250's are the same dimensions, just the interior layout, exterior panels etc are different. The only hardware in the bed is the front crossbar and the two rear brackets.
