    Sparks and Smoke from above steering wheel, now no "Wait" or "Brake" Indicator

    Did the jack pop up under the truck and contact the starter motor causing the fireworks?

    Missing Data Plates

    Yes see TM-9-2320-211-10 in the M39 series folder. I might warn you, as you start using this crane, you must follow the load chart to the letter, the hoist and boom hydraulics will lift far more than the boom and superstructure can handle.

    Missing Data Plates

    Bummer. Those plates will be very difficult to find. You will need to find someone parting one of these out. Try Memphis Equipment and Red River Parts. The TM for this truck should be in the TM section on this site and there will be pictures of the plates and operation instructions.

    M1031 Parts Valuation

    Most value for those items is to leave them in place and sell the truck to someone who wants a M1031. Then use the proceeds to buy the M1008 you want.

    Does anyone know where to find a diagnostic tool for the 4L80E? I

    By ring out I mean to check that each wire in the harness has continuity from one end to the other. No fraying or bare spots.

    Does anyone know where to find a diagnostic tool for the 4L80E? I

    I would ring out the harness between the controller and the 4L80E. Sounds like you got an intermittent connection.

    Ser# ?

    They are correct, those changes happened in 1954 but not on Jan 1. Data plate is 100% original Willys.

    M1079 start button won't trigger the starter.

    Do you have both 12 and 24 volts present at the power points at the PDP? Did this truck just develop this issue or did you get it this way from surplus?

    Ser# ?

    Is there any evidence that the numbers in both plates were stamped by someone other than Willys Motors? If not you are good to go. The hinged grille and thumbscrew battery box changed in ‘54.

    Teletypewriter

    That tty was the mainstay of communications during the entire cold war period, like 1950s until the 1970s. In the US they were called TT-98. Every Ratt Rig (radio teletype) had two of them in a shelter on the back of 3/4, 5/4, or 2 1/2 ton trucks. Nice find!

    M818 brakes mystery

    I would start with overhauling the brake booster.

    Stewart Steven’s deuce brake line issue

    Suggest you bring the part to a heavy duty truck parts house, they should have one in stock.

    Blending colors for touch up

    The problem with that approach is that the new paints will be just that, new. No fading. The computer match will match the existing fading.

    Blending colors for touch up

    Bring a sample of each color you wish to match to Sherwin Williams and have them match it with the computer color match scanner. 1 quart of Superpaint in flat should get you going for both shades. Incredible Jeep you have there, like 20 years of markings showing through.

    M916 Novice!

    My battery box is wired up just like yours. The huge cables are 24 volt plus and minus, and the little 6 ga ? wire is 12 volt. You can omit connecting the slave receptacle if you don't have a use for it. Use the same stud top 31s you have now. The TM will tell you to use 4 ea 12 volt...

    At 55 mph yes unfortunately. ECO hubs is the solution to this.

    M1151 w/4L80E wont shift

    The transfer shift mechanism external to the transfer is about as simple as can be. If the pictured items are free to move, the problem is inside the transfer which is a bad thing. Time for more investigation.

    M1151 w/4L80E wont shift

    We can help you. It is not clear to me from your narrative whether you are having transmission engagement or transfer case engagement issues. Can you elaborate? Two entirely different diagnostic paths.

    I have the same compressor setup, 5 hp single phase capacitor start. All of a sudden mine wouldn’t start, just tripped the breaker. After replacing the motor come to find out the compressor wouldn’t turn. Compressor also used very infrequently. Took the compressor apart, nothing wrong with...
