To my last statement. Here is a photo of the engine room with the 2 Gen system. Refer to the relays on the bulk head.

Where you have a black wire on Gen 2 (right side). Black white goses to minus of Gen 1 (left) and from there to the diagnoses receptical, black to engine ground. So you do not need the black white, engine ground is needed, else no propper charging. Check for reference TM 9-2320-289-20 page F-9...

Flywheels/flex plates are no problem look for one with 6 torque converter bolt holes. Trubble shooting starts at the fuel pump, means check feeding pressure. Than the fuel filter assy for leaky spots and/or damaged seals. This part can be replaced by a modern truck cartridge fuel filter assy...

Ok. there is some truth in the statements above. First: Militay tires are made to last veeeery long, so the softener (mainly wax) content is the rubber is higher than in commercial tires. If these military tires are stored in a propper environement, they live very long and are still in a...

Check you wiper switch. It is not made for over 20 years of use. With all the dust in it it will stop propper working. I had a simelar problem which was the motor with the drive actuation of the washer. Later the wiper failed. The only help was to replace the switch. Wolf

You can not rebuild the turbo at home, you need a new one, on better, a good one! Turbos have a max rpm of about 100,000 to 120,000. Any home work on that is fatal and might end in a desaster. Wolf

Good luck! Try to get one, it is a good tank for its time. But remember, a new set of rubber cushins is avaiable only from Diel in Nürnberg, for some 10000 bucks. new track without rubber cushins is about 20000 bucks, a factory rebuilt engine will be some 80000 bucks plus. And a transmission is...

OK, the fuel filter base problems are mentioned allready. Die cast junkt made for ten years or so. Fuel filter seals are not made for ever. So change for a modern truck fuel filer system, for example Mann & Hummel and forget these problems. Hovever, ther is an other one. If the little fuel pumps...

According to manual TM 9-2330-202-14&P, issue August 1983 there is no upgraded suspension. The A2 has the overrun braking device, where the overrun head has stamped in the side with the manufacturers marking, that the breake head is good for 6000 lbs, considering the trailer chassis is made for...

Without reading me through all the posts, however I did read a lot of them, police seems to be similar everywere. I once was stopped at a routine control (I realy do not remember, when, sometime around 1983) with my M715. The ploliceman first asked: Where did you get the truck from. The other...

The M116 are rated 3/4 ton, but technicaly for road use 1.5 ton shoud not really be an isssue, or the other way round, gross weigth up to 2200 lbs if equipped with overrun braking device. Wolf

The first pic shows the number it was made absolute for the former unit or decided not to be repairable any more and handed over to DRMO. The second pic shows the number which lists the truck in the sales lists to find it. (All this was said beforehand.) Without form 97 the truck is just a pile...

Beeing far from stock material, the US Army did many of these modifications in Europe. They matched almost anything to their special unit needs and did not care for the official requirements or the manuales as far as the late 60's and the 70's are concerned. Wolf

On most of the MV Meetings in Europe they are available...new... Wolf

Randy, front adjustable landing legs are not original for a M101 trailer. So, I guess, you have to make someting by yourself. It is possible, for my M101A1 has a hight adjustable landing leg in front with a wheel and can be replaced with 2 bolts to the original one. If you look at the pic you...

I used Bio Diesel for about 4 years on my M1009 (before it died of rust). I always added 1:100 new engine oil for greasing the injection system (15W40, the cheepest awailable). The Bio Diesel was according to DIN/EN (Deutsche Industrie Norm / European Norm) and therefore I had no trouble except...

Oil filters are: Purolator: L30040 which replaces PER40, AC: PF-11, PF-35 or PF35L, FRAM: PH13, Group 7: V-40, PRO Gauge: PGO-40, Hastings: LF224, WIX: 51061, Mann+Hummel: W936/5. Air filter for example Purolator A63181, have no cross references. Transmission oil filter kit is for example AC...

Yes and no! Last year, when I was in the States, I asked for some of these parts in Autoparts and they did not have it on stock neither in the lists they had. They said: If you have the numbers and order a good quantity, we order them. I'm to lazy now (we are at 3:26 in the morning) to go to my...

No, never saw one on the engines. My be you mix it with the two engine vent vales which were on the C engines. But you do not need them, one is sufficiant. Wolf

Oil filter and air filter: Use the original stuff, change air filter after a maximum of 5000 to 6000 miles, visually check early for clogging. Oil is a standard 15W40 CE/CF quality, change in short distances and severe operations after 2000 to 3000 miles, under normal conditions after 6000...
