    Tension on Air Compressor belt

    If it’s a new belt, they tend to stretch a bit upon being run. Retighten.

    Understanding numbers

    I would think your Army registration number on the hood is not what you stated with 69 added to the vehicle identification number. Especially if it’s an AM General A2. That was a Ford thing. The heater has nothing to do with the vehicle identification.

    Engine difference

    Oh sorry, yes, the F has a valve cover on top of the engine. L is a flathead with 4 spark plugs sticking straight up.

    Where to buy tire and wheel?

    Yes those are stock deuce wheels. Lock ring tube type wheels that people use to mount tubeless 395's with tubes. Not the best set up. That tire is dry rotted and will blow out. Many vendors offer 395s now, that is the most common US Army tire now. Shop price and delivery cost. Ask for...

    Engine difference

    There are F and L 134 engines. The valve in the vent line is for the fording kit. There is or should be a second valve next to the positive crankcase ventilation valve. When both are closed, blowby pressure will build up in the crankcase which will keep water from seeping in.

    CUCV M1008 wobbling. Help needed

    No not the entire knucke! There are plastic bearings that need to be replaced. Off Road Design is a good parts source for upgrade design parts. The oem parts are flimsy.

    CUCV M1008 wobbling. Help needed

    Sounds like what is called “death wobble”, can be caused by many issues but by far the simplest to fix is tire defects like you have. If problem remains after new tires, the knuckles on the front axle will need overhaul.

    Welcome Shaun. It appears that GP purges off the sold listings after about a year or so.

    M1097A2 configuration question

    The six hole rectangular pattern on the flat plate mounted a “sugar scoop” antenna bracket. Entire thing looks shop made.

    Hello from central Texas

    Maybe I can offer a little motivation on the 757s, I had the pleasure of driving a 656 back in the day and OMG what a screamer that truck is, the Allison keeps the turned up 220 hp LDS way up in the RPMs and man it runs like a scalded dog, very impressive.

    Hello from central Texas

    Wow, you live in the epicenter of MV barn and pasture finds, people have been hauling stuff off Ft Hood auctions since WWII. I used to be guilty of that myself.

    M38 engine ?

    Well if it’s a flathead with 4 spark plugs sticking up out of the head, it’s a 134. To see if you have a M38 military engine, look at the serial number boss near the water pump, a M38 engine will start with “MC”. Regardless the post war flathead Jeep engines are basically the same 1946 until...

    Odd Brackets on M105A2

    Does a sledge hammer fit in them? Might be to hold hammer needed to drive in ground rods.

    Suggest you leave the transmission oil level 1" low inside the case and use 80W-90.

    M54a2 oil leak

    Is it dripping GO 90 or OE 30?

    Hot in Arizona

    Suggest you verify the gauge temps with a thermal gun. If you are truly near boilover, look for clogged radiator tubes. No clue if your electric fan has enough CFM to do the job, suggest you get rid of it and go back to the very dependable mechanical fan.

    2002 HmMWV DEEEEP fording ? PICS

    Be glad they didn’t use a chain saw to remove the fording valve. All the pieces they removed are readily available.
