    M38A1 MRC 83 100 amp system

    The regulator plug will have one 12 GA wire, that is excite wire, you will probably need to splice that in with the wire that goes to the ignitor.

    M38A1 MRC 83 100 amp system

    Your 100 Amp system is the early version without the aircraft type Cannon connectors right? Unless you are going for restoration perfection, I would lean towards upgrading to the later version with the Cannon connectors so you get get away from the selenium rectifier which is unreliable.

    Need to know what these 60 amp alternators are and from what.

    The 1960s Leece Nevelle is way more reliable than the newer Prestolite.

    Newbie

    Looks great! Some hints: carry a spare ignition module with you at all times. Repack the front hubs when you get a chance. Hubs are a little stressed.

    Battery Disconnect Light comes on...transmission goes into limp mode- only 5 gears

    The 5.1 volts is why everything at the dash is dead. I don't think you blew anything up with your diagnostics. I think your symptoms point to an ever-weakening battery bank.

    Battery Disconnect Light comes on...transmission goes into limp mode- only 5 gears

    Lots of times on here people ASSURE us the batteries are good and then after days of back and forth, they end up NOT being good. Suggest you have them load tested before condemning expensive LBCDs etc.

    M870A1 - Daytons, luv em or hate em..

    Stunning photo! Ah now I understand what tractor you have, the 920s were replaced by the 916A1 and would be considered the prime mover of either trailer.

    Battery Disconnect Light comes on...transmission goes into limp mode- only 5 gears

    All the usual suspects. Start at the terminals on the LBCD under the spare tire, next the battery disconnect box alongside the battery box.

    M870A1 - Daytons, luv em or hate em..

    Not to be picky but the LET used the 172 trailer while the 920 used the 870. Although I am sure the various components got all mixed up in service.

    M920 rebuild mileage?

    The rebuilds on these trucks occurred in the 2000s when these trucks were already 20 years old. It’s most likely that the speedometer was replaced at some point.

    Tires for M170

    No that is a civilian tread tire, to be authentic you need the 7.00-16 NDCC which is their sku 676467.

    CUCV Bumper Markings

    For sure the Army mostly used stencils like you say, but the FONT on the stencil needs to be “block” (like on the pictured CUCVs) and not “stencil” (like is pictured on the HMMWV).

    Deuce Recovery June 15-18 Augusta, GA to Austin, Texas - 1100 miles

    As hot as it is, it may be tempting to drive at night, if you do, put some kind of revolving amber light on the back of the truck so you don't get rear ended, this has happened many times to people on here at night with catastrophic results.

    Lmtv trans code 4413

    4413 is short to ground B solenoid. Supposed to be 3.26 ohms between transmission pin J and H at the transmission. And no continuity between either pin and ground. If checks out at the transmission, look for harness problems, especially where the harness enters the cab.

    Mounting an AC compressor on stock 6.2?

    The 6.5 was used up until 2001 or so in various vehicles including vans, most of the time with A/C. Those newer vehicles are sometimes hard to spot in junk yards. Anyway, that serp setup is the most reliable I can think of.

    Welcome, that winch was put there by someone after military service, I think that is the drag winch from a 5 ton military wrecker.

    M36 Survivor

    Came across this M36 “A0” on Craigslist and went to look at it today. If it’s a survivor it’s on advanced life support though. It’s a 1961 White with the OA331 gasoline engine. It was winch equipped until someone whacked off the frame, but the entire whacked winch comes with the truck, what...

    M6 Pedestal

    Anyone have one of these in the bed of your truck? My bridge erection boat had this mounted on it and silly me didn't even know it was a HMMWV thing.
