    Ok, Help!! Mystery 1942 GPW. What the Heck Do I have Here.

    You have a garden variety '42 Ford that never left the United States. All the aftermarket add ons are JC Whitney items available back in the day. Solid restoration candidate. Tires, wheels, rear panel, windshield, engine overhaul, T84 transmission, brakes, wiring, seating ... you will have...

    A2 low air pressure?

    I would double check the pressure with a known good gauge.

    A2 low air pressure?

    The unloader on the firewall makes a resounding clunk when it operates. It should not unload until full pressure is obtained.

    Lug nuts... hard to turn?

    The RIM nuts are locking. If the LUG nut won’t spin on easy I would wire brush the stud and put a drop of oil on the threads. Only discard if the threads are buggered.

    The river has gone dry

    First the WWII and Korea era PE-95s dried up, then the Vietnam era MEP-17s and 18s dried up, then the 1980s MEP-002s and 003s dried up. It is a lifecycle thing.

    Cranks but doesn't start (pics attached)

    What is your wait to start light doing? Before cranking, is your voltmeter dipping down into the red, indicating that the 100 amp load of 8 glow plugs has been applied to the batteries? If you have no light and no dipping, you have no glow and no starting. Need to diagnose the “smart start...

    Cranks but doesn't start (pics attached)

    AC means alternating current. Do your glow plugs work? Doesn’t look like it. Most 6.5s won’t start cold without them functioning.

    Carefully check your CV joints.

    Materials for HMMWV M998?

    Looks like a AM-1777 amplifier base. Takes a MT-1029 mount and will go on your HMMWV radio shelf just fine. That setup would have been installed in HMMWVs back in the 80's. Replaced by SINCGARS.

    M101A2 to 5 Lug?

    Silly me thought you wanted to go back to 5 lug Budds. Can’t help you at all.

    Received 2002 M1097A2 for firetruck build - looking for advice

    Most of the users on here are trying to reduce the spring rate for a softer ride, but Uncle likes to load these to GVWR and then some and then couple a trailer too. So the platform can handle the weight. Especially the A2s.

    Received 2002 M1097A2 for firetruck build - looking for advice

    There are military foam skid mounts specifically designed for HMMWVs available. Might look into one of those. Otherwise the military never had a drop in water tank made for HMMWVs. You will need to have one fabricated. Needs to be as low profile as possible to avoid rollover issues, and...

    1078 won’t start

    So you are saying they smoked the original WTEC controller, and sourced a new one, and now this new one is giving you cats eyes? Again I would send both controllers in for diagnostics.

    1078 won’t start

    Can you ask the previous people that worked on it what was the original issue? If the WTEC showing cats eyes was the original problem, they went down the wrong road. Since now they have jacked around with all the wiring, many additional issues may have been introduced. Nevertheless, if it...

    1078 won’t start

    Well that is why your truck won’t start, if the WTEC controller isn’t happy it will start inhibit. Get the WTEC up and happy with no codes and she will crank normally with any luck.
