NF-2 or NF-2D??
I posted all the manuals for the NF-2D in the TM section under electrical.
(Parts, service, etc manuals).
The TO you will not find.
If by some miracle you do, please post it
It’s a controlled item and the Air Force was required to destroy them when the set was turned in...
The copper/brass radiator is still manufactured.
Installed one over a year ago.
Was identical to original and super easy to install the oil lines.
I posted about it with pics and part numbers
I actually hooked up my tan M101A2 today and moved it about 300 feet with my M1008A1
It’s still hooked up and ready to receive firewood as I cut it this weekend.
Has been almost two months since I’ve touched it.
Out of state for almost that entire time.
Way too long.........
Taking a disaster and adding another disaster on top of it is solving nothing.
Looks can be deceiving.
A Mess of wires, taken one at a time, is more than fixable.
You also have an offer of a dash wiring harness that is known to be good.
Actually fixing it will not only make your new truck...
True to a point.
I was referring a cheap bolt failing at a much lighter load than intended.
The rest can fail in quick fashion before the truck even starts to go over.
It’s happed before.
Likely......no
Possible...yes
Bolts are NOT created equal.
No matter the size or usage.

You might not think it matters, but when a Heavy load...
A member sent me a Craigslist link that had someone selling a M101A? With the fiberglass topper.

While SP gave you a pass on that particular stop, I highly recommend you bring your lights in compliance with the law.

Doesn't matter if we all know or think it’s BS. It’s the law.
The Deputy will definitely remember you and...
Glad you found the issue.
While chasing electrical problems is not fun, you also learn a great deal doing it.
How components work together and why.
Where they are and the best/easiest way to access and replace/repair it.
How to use a DMM and to understand the readings it’s showing.
Etc...
Spicers non-greaseable ujoints are excellent also.
That’s what I use and have had zero issues.
They’ve been absolutely flawless.
If in dought, call Spicer and they can tell you which one you need.
Nice topper on it.
I would love to find the rare fiberglass topper for the M101A2/3 the
Military was just beginning to issue before the trailers were phased out.
