Solennoid: Between the trumpets of the horn.
Circuit Breaker: On the firewall above the steering shaft.
You have ordered the correct part. Sorry for any confusion.
If it were me, I think I'd have this one on board:
TM 9-2320-209-10-3
TECHNICAL MANUAL
TROUBLESHOOTING
OPERATOR LEVEL
2½-TON, 6x6, M44A1 AND M44A2 SERIES TRUCKS
(MULTIFUEL)
But, as Doghead previously stated, there is no one magic TM to have in the cab.
Hey Tin, To troubleshoot the circuit breaker, unplug both wires and check for continuity. 0 or an Ohm or two would be an appropriate reading. OL on the meter is not, replace the C/B. This will be what you need. It's probably not a bad idea to have one for a spare.

RBTZH, It might be cheaper to find already printed hardcopies online. Ebay usually has some. Some one will chime in with other sources. Just a thought.
The tactical vehicles I drove did not have the serial number on the hood, but they did have the Army Registration Number: USA XXXXX. That number I would imagine was assigned by Department of the Army. We always called it the "USA number", for lack of a better term. The serial number was assigned...
I don't recall the serial numbers on the hoods after we started painting the trucks camoflauge, in any unit I was in. If you want the truck to be Vietnam era and painted OD, the hood numbers would be appropriate.
These items may help you.
4-45 PAINTING.
a. Instructions for the preparation of material for painting, methods of painting, and materials to be
used are contained in TM 43-0139, Painting Instructions for Army Materiel.
b. Instructions for camouflage painting are contained in PM 20-3...
Check the circuit breaker up on the firewall. Pull both leads out of the breaker, check them with a VOM, one of them should be hot, if so, breaker is bad. If not, dig further back to the source. Download Peter Bog's schematic, if you haven't already.
When ordering, make sure you specify the meter diameter. I ordered a freq meter from Jay at Saturn, had to return it. Seems the smaller KW gensets had a smaller diameter meter. Just a heads up.
$15 at TNJ is a whole lot easier to swallow than $25 at Antelope. But then TNJ will also send you (2) brand new Gama Goat cab covers with your order and swear they never sent them.
For the life of me I can't understand why you want to go to so much trouble to save an inventory sticker, but I'll make a suggestion anyway. Try soaking the area with WD-40, that should loosen up the adhesive enough for you to get it off in one piece. :)
I've had my intake elbow on for about 3 years now, not for the rain or fording, for the snow. Got tired of sucking snow into the air cleaner cannister when I forgot to clear it off before starting. I got the idea from someone else. Good thinkin' though! :beer:
