It's only a problem if the front drive is engaged. Remove the washer from the transfer case shift rod or turn the rod around so the washer doesn't activate the front drive air switch when the transfer case is put in low. You can engage the front drive with the switch on the dash when you need it.

Check the starter first by pulling the wire at the solenoid as J says above. That's the easiest thing to check and is probably the problem. You can just replace the solenoid if the stater bushings and brushes are in good shape.

If you end up pulling the starter. Remove the solenoid and disassemble it. I had a fastener come off in the solenoid on my M929. Easy fix, in my case. You can just change the solenoid if it has a lot of wear or burning on the contacts.

I towed my M1028A2 home with the rear driveshaft removed (u-joint caps taped on and driveshaft tied up) using my '99 F350. Transmission was in park, transfercase in neutral. Make sure the front locking hubs really are disengaged (pull forward and check the front driveshaft for rotation) because...

Just make sure whoever tests the original alternators puts the tester ground lead on the negative ground post, not the case. Otherwise the alternator will not work.

I'm in for a train ride!

You can probably get it at Napa or other autoparts store. You may have to settle for a red one. The stud and insulator are separate items.

Imagine that. Glad you got it figured out.

You say you swap them from side to side and it works on the passenger side. How can the problem be in the alternator? If you followed my test procedure, The alternator would have worked on the driver's side assuming the B+ and B- wires were connected to the battery. Forget about the light for a...

Make sure the ground is connected to the isolated ground terminal and not the case ground. Is the ground wire damaged, is it connected to the front battery? I know you said the alternator works if you put it on the passenger side, if that is true, then there is no ground to the alternator on the...

Sounds like the glow plugs are cycling. When I start mine it does that for a short period of time immediately after the engine starts. It's not more than about a minute. The cold may make a difference, but it shouldn't do it continuously.

Just jack it up and put it on jack stands. If you are working on an unimproved surface, cribbing might be better. These trucks are pretty high off the ground sitting on the wheels so clearance is not an issue. Every truck I have owned has spent time sitting on jack stands with all or some of the...

Kenny, I have my CUCV, M915, and M373 with Hagarty now. They were previously with Travelers through Gulfway. All of my vehicle info was sent to Hagarty from Gulfway because when Hagarty contacted me, they already had the paper work filled out. Can't imagine why they wouldn't do the same for you.

Gulfway is the agent, Travelers is the insurance company. Travelers is no longer offering the collector policies that cover ex-military vehicles (at least in Florida). The letter I received from Gulfway said that as of the expiration date, my Travelers policy would expire. In my case, the...

Have you done this? Testing Alternators

The M929 mud flaps do have holes in the middle and do fold so you don't rip them off. I have a drawing I made of mine. I'll look it up and post it.

I've already been down these roads. Take a copy of the no tag displayed statute with you. Show it to the LEO that stops you. They will be polite (in my experience) and let you go. As for the CDL, I got mine. My reasoning was if something happens and there's an accident (I have a military...

That's not the reason. It would be easy for them to tell us no night rides. That would not be a deal breaker, most rally attendees that camp in the rally field spend the evening around a campfire visiting with friends.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I can't help myself. How in the hell could the hunters hear the rally over the noise of the motorcycles and atv's running all hours, day or night?
