I use a pair of BatteryMinders but others are happy with NOCO Genius. Use two 12 volt units, not one 24 unit.

Super important with these infrequently used flood trucks is to put battery maintainers on them! I do fleet maintenance on 5 LMTVs and these maintainers keep everything up and running. The FDs should be familiar with disconnecting the Kussmaul before driving off.

If anyone before you has been attempting repairs, double check that all relays in the PDP are the correct part number and type and voltage.

Coming along very nicely and super envious of your 610 Bobcat.

Looks like C7. You need to decide if the disassembly was due to one of two reasons: either uncle needed a part for a different truck OR the mechanics looked inside and said OMG it’s trashed, off to DRMO with you.

HCSO Eye candy while you are busy diagnosin’

Can you verify what year you have? 1996 trucks do not have LBCDs. If it’s a later model (A1) truck that does indeed have LBCD and solenoids at the battery box, the recommendation it to remove the solenoids and jump past them. This typically fixes this issue.

2 of the military ones that test out the best. The remaining 3 are not far behind if similar date codes.

Once you get the 6.5 out on the grass let us know if the block is any good. I need a good block for a civi 6.5.

Every time I have been in the slop it’s the exact opposite of rock climbing: maximum possible wheel speed to sling the mud from the tread and keep momentum up.

4HN might work barely.

It’s only dependable after massive amounts of predictive maintenance and upgrades. If you don’t need the all terrain capabilities, these are a horrible choice for a work truck.

Looking good, looks like a M211-CDN?

Almost all of us are running two group 31s. Will be fine unless you live in Prudhoe.

Ya gotta pull the engine to remove the steering gear to rebuild it. Switch over to grease and roll on.

You have a 24 volt jump pack? If you used a 12 volt jump pack that will not do much. Can you ask (PM) moderators (Guyfang) to move this thread to the FMTV forum so the usual experts will see it.

Any crunchy wiring needs to be replaced les you have a fire. Suggest you cost out the OEM harnesses vs making an entirely new 12 volt harness either yourself or by a pro.

What voltage did you apply to which solenoid, the 12 or 24 volt one? Is the battery connection correct? GP and the Army for that matter likely could have gotten it wrong.

You might have damaged something. But guess what you came to the right place for diagnostic support on these. Need to know if you have your batteries connected properly to begin with. You are aware the truck has a combo 12 & 24 volt system right?

Y'all are missing the sin here. I think this was a MTP warranty case.
