    1950 M34 Model OC-54 REO Gold Comet

    My 2 cents: This truck was set up by Memphis Equipment in the 1960's for a construction company to do some hard off highway work. The back of the frame angle cut indicates it had a dump bed. This truck would be a huge effort to build back as an original M34 mainly due to the frame issues...

    1950 M34 Model OC-54 REO Gold Comet

    I have never seen a deuce with a double frame like that. The "REB kit" was a way to manually control the automatic engagement of the front axle. That is one of the levers sticking up through the floor. The instruction data plate for the kit with 136 on it also mentions "Eager Beaver" which...

    1950 M34 Model OC-54 REO Gold Comet

    Yes the transmission is for a 2 1/2 ton truck. I don't think the air compressor is, it looks WWII. The tag with 136 on it indicates a Memphis Equipment REB transfer shift kit has been installed. Where does the double frame start and end? On a M34 or M35, only the trapezoidal plate over...

    Need Help after Transmission Rebuild

    I think reverse should be 220 psi and F1 etc should be 140. The fact that you have reverse means the pumps are working. If line pressure drops to nothing when engaging F1, pressure is escaping somewhere in the clutch packs or band servos.

    1950 M34 Model OC-54 REO Gold Comet

    Ruh ro, I just reread your post and noticed the two asterisks, meaning two additional digits, the early gas truck serial numbers never had that many digits. You will need to find the frame serial number and report back for a revisit.

    1950 M34 Model OC-54 REO Gold Comet

    Your SN sounds correct, see snip from the VIN database. This is from the M35 without winch file. Year model sounds more like 1953.

    M1088a1 disconnect switch relay problem

    Looking at your pictures, I think you have the trouble-prone second generation PDP with the no-lead solder. Suprman knows a lot about these, I don’t. These boards have been known to have bizarre intermittents like you describe.

    M1088a1 disconnect switch relay problem

    Sounds like intermittent connections over on the LBCD under the spare tire. 12 and 24 volt battery cables from the disconnect solenoids lead to this box and can be corroded at the ring terminals.

    HMMWV in Limp Mode DTC 53 4L80E Transmission

    Suggest you carefully verify all the connections associated with the transmission power relay. Maybe the controller is powered off with the ignition on and on with the ignition off. Also, the STE/ICE will not help you with this issue, it only provides very basic engine diagnostics such as...

    HMMWV in Limp Mode DTC 53 4L80E Transmission

    Are you saying the transmission warning light is ON while the ignition is OFF? The transmission controller should be unpowered when the ignition is off. Suggest you still have issues in the relay area.
