    Whats the rate for a Arctic Top?

    $350. That is an obscure item not in high demand.

    Shelter/van body mounting options

    That Deuce M109 shop van box is ridiculous heavy, at least 2 tons. The aluminum shelter is how to go. Lots of people (myself included) have 280s lying around for camper projects that never materialized.

    KY CDL announcement

    This is not unusual, Ky is following the USDOT laws. TXDOT told me the same thing 15 years ago, I have kept up my CDL ever since. Medical card, drug testing etc just to drive my old army trucks. I see it as a back up career, if everything else fails, I can drive a garbage truck tomorrow.

    CCW Front axle

    You need to find TM10-1423. Nothing special about the front brakes, they adjust with cams on top and eccentric studs on the bottom.

    Transmission Module won't light up, preventing normal engine start.

    Check all the connections between the display and the WTEC. Check breakers feeding the WTEC. Check connections plugged into WTEC. If everything checks out, send your WTEC for diagnostics to Transmissioninstruments.com. Yes the WTEC must be alive to allow engine cranking.

    Happy day, M1123 arrived today, question on fuel line

    That fuel hose and the little clips are the same as civilian 6.5, hose kits available from Leroy Diesel, S&S Diesel, others …

    Need Help Starting 2003 A1 M1078 - Addison, Texas

    Agree, this sounds like cable terminal ends, what can happen is corrosion occurs between the copper strands and the crimped on connector, leading to intermittent weird behavior. Get your voltmeter, starting at the batteries, work your way towards the pdp until you find voltage dropping off...

    Need Help Starting 2003 A1 M1078 - Addison, Texas

    What is going on in the relay box next to the battery box? Are the relays coming on? There is one relay for 12 volts and one for 24 volts.

    What year should I put on the SF97 request form?

    Its a 2001 year model. Go with that.

    M916 Alternator Trouble

    The transformer rectifier device is potted in, meaning the components are surrounded by solid potting material. It's not fixable. Disconnect the wires going to it before it catches fire.

    Do I have a transfer case problem?

    The automatic transmission “windmills” the internal components even in neutral. That’s why you are getting the grinding.

    LMTV Cargo Cover install questions

    Looking good. Valence can make those stupid long straps so you can replace the temporary orange ones. Suggest you start a different thread for the surging issue. Check belt tension. Check battery terminals. Check LBCD for bad connections.

    Water in crankcase

    Post the engine compartment auction pics. Yermo or Albany? Water in the engine is usually due to USMC leaving the air intake open to the elements for years.

    M49 deuce generator sourcing

    Suggest you upgrade to Delco alternator, only reason to keep the 25 amp system is to win awards at military vehicle shows. Lots of threads on doing the swap.

    My first multifuel?

    Definitely was a wrecker, only wreckers had the Mico brake lock and the rear facing transfer PTO. Also the level wind on the winch is a wrecker thing.

    TRUCK M35A2 U.S AIR FORCE

    That is a wrecker chassis. Missing the wrecker bed. Not much can be done with it.

    Vacuum hose

    Looks like fording hoses. What's with the Kermit the frog green?

    Radio mount for HMMWV GMV

    This huge radio stack looks cool and all but be forewarned that it blocks the driver view of the RH mirror. I am going with the cooler Blue Force computer even though GMVs didn’t seem to have those.

    My 1985 m1038 hope you folks like it. In Vancouver Canada :)

    Oh you did an incredible job on that one! Love the 100 amp alternator! Was your truck USMC in service?

    Control Box Schematics

    Solenoids have been used to switch on heavy DC loads like starter motors since cars didn’t have cranks. My 1968 Ford still has the factory starter solenoid with 350,000 miles.
