    Headlight Issue

    I would verify the wire tag numbers are correct, meaning the ground wire is actually the ground wire. If everything is correct then your bulb is defective.

    Transfer case slipping out of gear?

    Typically what causes this is loss of parallelism between gears, then a sideways thrust is applied to the gear which overcomes the detent ball in the shift rail. The issue is caused by one of the gears carrier shaft bearings failing. Well you know why.

    Need some opinion on value

    Hmm, if you don’t want to take on this project, maybe the answer is to sell it to someone who does want to take it on. Looks like a very easy project compared to others I have seen and started with.

    Gov Planet Refugee

    Engine block might still be ok. Pull it and tear it down looking closely for cracks. I rebuilt a GMC 302 that threw a rod, block skirt has a booboo where the rod end whacked it but otherwise it runs great.

    FMTV drive shaft yoke puller

    Subscribed. I tried a huge two jaw puller with heating the yoke and it just laughed at me. Meritor used some kind of super sealant.

    The Humvee takes off on its own like if someone flipped the "After Burner" switch.

    Steve you are talking about the injection pump right? I see no way the fuel pump could cause this.

    M915 series, pictures of your toys

    My trusty M915 slick. Bone stock except for 11R22.5s. Came from an equipment concentration site (ECS), they painted it white for some reason.

    S-339/TKQ-2 RECEIVING SET RADAR DATA

    To me, military systems that were significant in conflicts are what are worthy of preservation. That said, DoD procures all kinds of systems that are often dismal failures. I shed no tears when those failures are made into storage shacks, ham shacks and the like. You say one museum has...

    Deuce VIN's..

    Comes back as a 1969 M35A2 without winch. The frame number you are looking for is 032518011. Use this for your title. The first part 04D98589 is the US Army registration number and it won't be on the frame, it was painted on the hood during the Vietnam era and inside the door later on. The...

    MuleMacs M561 rebuild and restoration thread.

    The cable already attached to the alt is the ground. The cable with the lug goes under the cover held on with screws. My memory fails me on the Packard connector.

    Need some opinion on value

    What front end damage are you talking about? Yeah engine is full of rain but otherwise looks like an almost complete truck to put on the road. And you basically stole it at $3600.

    MuleMacs M561 rebuild and restoration thread.

    Looking at this again on a laptop, the connector is not for a 100 amp system. I think I see a taped up wire in your pics. See if it has continuity to the +24 volt battery terminal. If so that is your alternator wire.

    MuleMacs M561 rebuild and restoration thread.

    See if you can find a taped up cable around 3/8” dia in the vicinity of the 60 amp alternator. That would have been the oem wiring for the alternator. The large connector is part of a kit that was depot installed.
