    Best Way to Repair Bed and Floor Damage?

    Ugh. 3 ways. Replace floor by removing 1000 rivets. Swap body with someone “parting out” a truck. Plate over it with aluminum plate or the GMV WB3 floor material. (RWH might have this on a salvage truck)

    Transmission Code 73

    Before you condemn the TCM, it is possible that somewhere in the harness, one of the two wires going to the solenoid have chafed against a chassis ground point, which is telling the TCM during it's self check "whoa, ohms here are not right, throw code". We are suggesting you check for this...

    Transmission Code 73

    Those manual shift kits are not a great idea. Word is they slam shift hard which might be fine for drag racing but not normal driving. What codes are you getting now that it won't shift out of 2? You have not told us the results of checking for continuity between the pressure control...

    Blackout light switch

    That switch has been the same since it's introduction in 1950, still being made now by various mfgrs. With a multimeter you can verify continuity between pins as you move the selectors. Other than that it is not exactly serviceable. DC Electronics is not one of the better mfgrs of it.

    Sounds like limp mode now. TCM very unhappy about something. I take it you are working with Supplement 7?

    IH Military designation

    Civilian trucks that uncle bought do not have M numbers for the most part. I think your axle is made by Coleman if it has a hemispheric hub appearance.

    Battery Minder(s?) for LMTV M1078A1?

    Great idea!!! BatteryMINDer 2012-AGM for agms, BatteryMINDer 12117 for old school, charge each 12 volt pair separate. Been running these for 10 + years.

    XM816 Wrecker - Only Took Ten Years

    I had bees in the bellhousing of a WWII TD-18 bulldozer. I too didn't want to kill them. What caused them to pack up and leave was me setting up a water spray on the opening to the colony, which was an inspection cover on the bellhousing. I had to leave it spraying for days. Very nice...

    AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES?

    I would stay with 55 lbs unless you have 5 tons in the bed. 70 psi is to minimize sidewall flex at max GVW.

    M887 weight distribution plate

    The dash data plate lists the GVW if I remember correctly. But no plates listed all the comprehensive dimensions like on the M38 plate.

    M816 Wrecker - General Questions

    By the USA number embedded in the VIN, it’s a 1971. AMGeneral was busy building 936s in the 80s.

    Do you need high horsepower? The transfer PTO might be an option.

    How is the cable lubed? Ancient sticky grease won’t work.

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    Will likely need paint. Need to figure out a way to spray paint the ds without throwing off balance. Facing the same issue with my newly acquired 2025 pickup truck that has a nekked unpainted ds that has already rusted.

    Deuce VIN's..

    Underneath the hood will just be maintenance related. You already know what would be painted ON the hood, 4L37769 The bumper sanding has to be done all the way to bare metal most times.

    Air compressor

    The twin was used 1950-1985?, then the single came out because the twin was obsolete. They are interchangeable.
