    '91 5ton tail-light conversion

    There ya' go..once you find one live wire and the position of the switch to "light it" (Service drive) you are good to go. TMs are your friend.

    How deep can a LMTV go...

    It rather looks as though the lighter rear end was floated by the tires off traction?

    Nice looking trucks, And some serious driving, Nicely completed despite the minor hitch, must have been quite some site for the "little cars".

    How deep can a LMTV go...

    Should have purchased a goat!...or..an OT64,. How did they get it out by the way, did you stay around to see them achieve that?

    Clutch_Transmission Issues

    In addition to double clutching, You should Rev up the engine to equal the gear speed. If this is not working, then it seems the synchro mesh system is badly worn.OR the clutch is dragging. As the former would make clutchless gear changing possible.

    1941 dukw

    When you switch on the ignition, it seems that a wire going o something "somewhere" is shorting out. So WHAT requires power (only) first?..Usually the distributor, via the coil. in the ignition circuit. (though unlikely to cause a 'burn' short out.) The fuel pump? (if one is fitted) and or ANY...

    Eliminate blackout switch

    The blackout circuit is NOT on the same circuit as the "main" light harness. The FAULT FUNCTION will remain, with it (the blackout switch) in or out of the circuit. Start and check the pointers I already made, Remove the 'hot wire short' and the proper functions in main and blackout lights will...

    Electrical woes?!?!

    Disable the hot wire connected to the flasher unit. And, as American vehicles have a (strange) different wiring method to anyone else, Check if the brake light switch is shorting, or, if that same same 'hot' wire has arrived (is running) at the brake lights. Look for a cross short circuit there...

    Air Pressure High

    Regulated air can (then) shut of the compressor by the sensor line allowing the compressor to "stall" (stop building air) usually by way of the valves. An air leak prevents this build up of 'sensing' air.

    fuel in engine oil multi fuel motor

    Absolutely correct, Summed up completely correctly and succinctly. Nothing amiss in your post#2 or the follow up post. These systems are NOT "junk simple treat em' any old how mechanisms" they ARE extremely complex and quite (actually) beyond the ken of ordinary folk. soz..my rant and 5 1/2 penne'th

    Mating transmission to engine - rant

    Some things seem just "not to be" I have just struggled for TWO days! to get the splines engaged on a ..1938 !Flying Standard 10! And with the use of spline aligning tool. Frustrated, (moocho's annoyed) I angle ground the engine mounts off as they are integral with the engine. (fouling anything...

    Our Ward Lafrance wrecker

    You must be rather pleased that fuel prices have plummeted! Nice (aggressive) chunk of machinery there. (see you at W,A,P, Revival? (with it!).

    fuel in engine oil multi fuel motor

    Look to this fault as mentioned this is usually a "good!" source of fuel entering the engine block. If your engine starts and runs good it is not (in the least) the rings. Also try researching some of the previous posts on this problem, there are quite a few pointers (and fixes) there.
