    How many M715 can I build?

    Are the cab floors and rockers rusted out? Doesn’t look like it. Took me years of searching to find a perfect cab for my 715.

    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    Suggest you pressure wash this truck stem to stern twice. Then spray components like the engine computer and alternator with something like WD40, there are better sprays available for protection however.

    M1009 - 12 V Power Distribution Block - Battery Preference

    Yup that makes sense. For light electrical loads you could use the existing 12 volt power stud near the glowplug solenoid.

    Installing dashboard clips

    They call those “dzus”. I vaguely remember having to squeeze or pry them into the hole.

    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    I would check out that 3 switch remote start panel in the engine compartment, maybe the switch is full of salt water allowing continuity all the time.

    ***URGENT*** MEP 803a set-up question ***SOLVED***

    The scenario that everyone is worried about is that WHILE YOU ARE SOMEWHERE ELSE, a family member will try to solve an issue that may arise and FLIP THE MAIN ON. If a lineman sees your backfeed setup, he will become infuriated, pull your meter, report you to the local government permit office...

    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    Lets Be Complete Doofuses is basically what S&S and Leece Neville were thinking when they put that system on FMTVs. Load Battery Control Device

    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    My opinion is those solenoids are damaged by salt water. Bypass them for diagnostic purposes.

    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    Have you checked the two solenoids tied in next to the master disconnect switch?

    100 amp vs 200 amp generator?

    I say no advantage to the 200A. The “old school” 100A doesn’t go through the start box on mine.

    Passenger Side Random Wires

    Correct, looks to have been the power feed for FBCB2 Blue Force Tracker. The other end of that cable should be in the battery box.

    HEMTT Rim, Breaking loose the bead. No beadlock. Ideas to make this a smoother process.

    Use duck bill tire hammer to break the bead.

    HMMWV Headlight Issue

    Make sure the bulbs say 24 volt on them somewhere. Some bulbs that are older stock have the vacuum inside leak and then the bulb fails immediately like you describe.

    The engine shuddered

    Maybe the lift pump failed. Maybe an electrical connector in the ignition circuit failed. Maybe the fuel pickup in the tank is plugged. Usually I suspect the injection pump but it’s safe to eliminate that at this point.

    Changing the flywheel

    Nightmare? You just pull the T98 and then it's basically a clutch job.

    Headlight rubber mounts

    Should be 8741441. Erik’s has em.

    It runs, then it doesn't.

    You are wise to get your pump overhauled. I like to pull and replace the pump with the lines attached like a big spider.

    Possible registration number?

    Looks like you are very close to already knowing what you will learn from the foia inquiry. Internet searches might get you the unit histories even if the units are disbanded.

    Stuck brake hose fittings

    It's a somewhat destructive method but try gripping the fitting with Vice-grips.

    Possible registration number?

    Registration number will be on the VIN plate in the door jamb. NG******
