Congratulations on the truck! Looks very good. There was a guy on here selling new body panels for M151s a while back, but can't remember who. If they are still available that might work better and easier than repairing the rust. From the photos, they looked like original.
Another difference in the T22B is that the previous version permitted VIN # inspection by either LEO or someone in the tag office. Now it's LEO only. I've never had any issues with the T22B form or the inspection.
If you bought the trucks from GL, you should have received a Paid In Full invoice for each truck. This is your Bill of Sale and hopefully you still have the copies. To get a title, you need the SF97 form, which you had to pay extra for. In GA you can't apply for a title on a FMV from GL...
The fan only turns as fast as the engine RPMs, never faster. If the clutch is not engaged, the fan will still turn, albeit much slower than the engine RPM. Are you sure the fan clutch is actually engaging? Read the TM and it will advise you on how to troubleshoot. It is a very simple circuit.
Ron, I don't know if you ever go on the Historic Military Vehicle Forum out of the UK, but it's pretty good. Chances are someone knows about the K19 in England. http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/
Have you tried contacting the Signal Corps Regimental Association? http://www.signalcorps.org/ You might be able to find a member that is familiar with the K18 and trailer, although WWII vets are leaving us in large numbers now.
I hate to admit it, but I just now got around to repairing the A2. It turned out that it was the oil cooler. There were no o-rings installed. Someone (Army) had use a big glop of silicone sealant to seal it where the o-rings went. Hard to believe it ever worked. The oil cooler itself is in...
I was told by DMV in Towns County that the standard procedure when you use a Serial Number instead of a 17-digit VIN is to place zeros in front of the S/N to make it 17 digits. I have no idea what you would do if the S/N was more than 17 digits. Probably very unlikely anyway.
I don't have to try to get my M35A3 titled, I was finally able to register it earlier, but it was illegally registered. Now I don't have to worry about having my title revoked like some have had happen. This was an incredible feat Swiss, Zout and others put forth getting this bill passed in...
Update: GEMS, the manufacturer, got back to me and said that they were out of stock but would make one for me. They didn't give me a price, but I declined. Delks finally got back to me and I bought a used sensor for $95.00. The leads out of the reed switch are only about 1/4 inch long and...
If you're driving on a 1,000 mile trip, you don't want to be running 45 PSI anyway. Even if the CTIS functions, turn it off and inflate the tires to 60 PSI. The truck will run a lot smoother and your tire and fuel mileage will increase. Don't run more than 60 PSI, though, as the wheels are...
I just received an e-mail from GEMS informing me that the sensor is still an active part manufactured by them. It isn't on their product list because no one has ever tried to buy any except the Army and Navy. They are now trying to get me a good price on one, knowing that I'm not the...
I received a quotation from WB Parts in Palm Bay, Florida for a new one at $268.00, which is too steep for me. I've gotten a lot of parts for MVs from WB in the past. They are high, but they often have parts no one else has and they have no minimum quantities. I think DH is right, it appears...
The fuel level sensor on my MEP003A genset failed, preventing me from using the auxilliary fuel input from my bulk diesel storage. I previously thought the problem was caused by a failed solenoid valve, but when I troubleshot the system I determined that the fuel level sensor had failed in the...
