If it ran well before, and the screws and settings are tight. I would be looking at fuel source, or filters first. Did you try the bleed screws first?. Is the intank pump running?.

That is one nice truck. And you must have had a real buzz on the drive home. Satisfying project. And as said before, a great start for the new years events.

Our group are thinking of going this year, As time is marching on. (catching up).

Steady on folks.......

Electronics HATE incorrect (reversed) connection, and are usually rendered useless by the practice. Once a diode is blown, it stays blown. Transistors, the same. In the old days reversal was simply rectified by connecting the battery or batteries the correct way (polarity) and briefly closing...

Glad you solved the problem I like to have everything working that is original. And spent many a day cleaning connections and earths.

Yes it's possible. Tobi. you should have asked me when I was on the phone to you. Try GOV.Planet (or their site on milweb) 1000s of trucks, spares, tools, cars, whatever. We have a nice old original M151A1 mutt. I thought "skype" was a new version of peanut butter! ..just me.

Strange, but just now I uploaded two pictures without using a browser. straight off IE8. never been possible before. Well only if each individual picture was uploaded in turn and after re-loading the page each picture. And it was easy and a pleasure to use. Just wish it was like that all the...

Sometimes they are just so very neccassary. bennym45 fitted this outfit to his "adopted" (FV432) vehicle. Hope to see a post about his assignments soon. (with pictures and video). The wiring is now tidied up. The whelen and controls are in the fabricated unit.

No, just buy buy it, check it over, make sure EVERYTHING is "tickety boo" and you should be good to go (enjoy) But..of..course check...the..>dreaded HOA< keep us informed with pictures of course. Good luck.

Fabulous looking truck. great acquisition, You will enjoy it to the full with your family converted to a (luxury!) camping machine. So glad for you in completing the "mission".

Puzzled as to why you would want to stick with the old (fashioned) units. ALL my trucks, and the 432 are on (voltswagon type ) H4 units with changeable 90/100 watt bulbs. easy replacement if an element blows and safer driving lighting. (I just looked at my invoices and brand new units with bulbs...

That is quite a trick little truck. Thanks for posting. Very interesting.

Wow..good luck with your trip and end destination. You have us in the "nail biting" state now..so I guess I know what you are feeling. I have had that feeling so many times..Worst trip ever (in my life!) was a trip in a zill 131 with a cummins motor. Slowed or stopped every two miles or so..gear...

Sounds like your getting to the root of the problem at last..good luck and progress with it. Keep us posted.

This is devleoping into a whole heap of trouble for you. So the Gearbox is Stuck between gears? And the transfer case is locked up as well? One or the other Might be siezed holding the other jammed?. It will be interesting to hear what was wrong and how you fixed it eventually.

What are you doing with my EEEmotions!..first off I was choked..And THEN..I WAS ( properly ) choked (up!) You have a super family, a great wife, and a VERY humorous dad. And at christmas..A great stunt they pulled on you there. As mentioned previously your story ranks as the best Xmas post...
