Looks like someone painted the dash puke yellow. Did you pull the dash off to do this? Maybe the connector did not get properly reseated in the WTEC controller.

Looking at the codes, such as solenoid short to ground and solenoid open circuit, it is clear to me that when your people were cutting off all the parts you mentioned, they f-d the transmission harness.

Hopefully the gifter is willing to stack them on a pallet and take them to a motor freight terminal for you. You will need to pre-arrange the bill of lading etc.

Vanjosh welcome. posts like yours need to go in the FMTV forum so that hive will see it. Double checking, your truck is a 1995? It has a transmission controller with green digits? Did this truck ever operate prior to you working on the electrical system? It is highly unlikely all solenoids...

You need to rebuild the carb. Every single passage needs to have a wire or drill passed through. All new gaskets and wear parts. Float set to spec. Fuel system clean end to end. Get all this done. Then try to start. Tay Tay would be proud of you.

Minimum 10 grand.

The military went DOT 5 on all M880s. It’s possible someone added the DOT 3. Stay with 5 if you can.

Welcome. Parts for the OA331 are available, try Memphis Equipment, White Owl Parts. Everything else on the truck is more or less the same as M35A2. The Holley 885-FFG carb is a breeze to rebuild.

Pipe wrench or vise-grip

Scotch 33+ electrical tape is what I use.

Told ya. It’s the 78” that’s the killer, that is two pallets worth of space in the trailer. Motor freight got stupid when YRC went tits up.

Subscribed. I am up the road from you in Algoa. LMK if you need any help.

Yup. Let us know what cost you get.

SEABEE portable saw mill. Used for barracks construction and everything else the SEABEEs do with wood.

SECO has been in the surplus business since basically day one. Completely trustworthy. Those crated kits cost a fortune to ship. I would piece a kit together.

SECO has the second generation vinyl available in tan color. A bit pricy but that is the going rate.

Looking at the pictures, I see that it's 3 phase only. The transfer switch is not a 1 to 3 phase selector. Looks like a USN SEABEE special, not a typical "MEP" type milspec genset.

Options: Canvas, no longer available surplus, must purchase new from supplier such as WeeBee Webbing or or New life Canvas, the end curtains are separate. First generation vinyl, same pattern as canvas, has separate end curtains, hard to find surplus items Second generation vinyl, has the end...

I use the aerosol spray grease. Tends to stay put better than WD-40.
