    Giving up the Tornado in my 67 M715

    The block is different from the civilian 230 and the military, so the “warehouse “ story doesn’t sound plausible. The 230 was introduced in the early 1960s in various full size Jeep vehicles. I believe the engine was discontinued in 1966 but brought back for the M715 series. Probably to let...

    Giving up the Tornado in my 67 M715

    Hey the Tornado is actually not too bad in the power dept. And it's a hemi! Problem with it is the same as the Ford Triton engines, crappy timing chain design.

    Hydrolocked, big repair ahead.

    If you pull the turbocharger I hope you seal up the intake runner real good so you don't have a repeat performance.

    Unidentified MV Wiring Harness - Possible M422

    Isn't that a turn signal conversion harness? See if the cannon plug fits into the turn signal control. If the cannon plug fits into the three lever light switch, it is a lighting harness. The two prong connector goes into the brake light switch on the master cylinder.

    Hydrolocked, big repair ahead.

    The yellow part is the tach signal generator for the STE/ICE diagnostic system. Move it over so you don't get water in your oil pump drive.

    FMCSA "Clearinghouse" - when did this happen ugh

    Like a lot of us, my M915 class 8 truck has been parked during the 2 year pandemic. Looks like uncle dropped some new requirements on CDL holders in the mean time. Now we have to establish an account in the FMCSA "clearinghouse". Apparently this also applies to "owner/operators" which I am...

    M998 Generator Q: Can a 450 amp be used in a M998 or is 200 amp the only upgrade available?

    Agree the 400s are HUUUGE and heavy and rub against things.

    High RPM’s

    That rpm is similar to what a 3 speed HMMWV sees at that speed. Maybe not going into overdrive (4th).

    1953 Air Force M38A1

    See if you can find this plate behind the driver's seat on the sponson. The serial will be there. Hopefully it will match MD51570. I think the MD27262 is suspect due to the data plate cluster board being green not blue. The serial is also on the engine by the water outlet neck, but it is...

    1953 Air Force M38A1

    Did you see the responsible agency plate says "US NAVY"?? I would first see it the serial number on the main data plate matches the Jeep, if it does you have a NAVY jeep that someone painted blue. Or a NAVY Jeep that happened to be blue for some reason. If the serial numbers don't match...

    Powering inverter off deuce

    A 1000 watt 24-120 volt inverter, when loaded with 1000 watts of 120 volt devices such as lights, fans etc will draw 40-50 amps of 24 volts DC. The truck's batteries can handle that for about 5 minutes, then the voltage will droop and you will have to start the truck to let the alternator...

    Any guesses on this wiring? M1123...also light issues.

    If it's ALL the lights, sounds like the auto-reset circuit breaker inside the 3 lever switch is either doing it's job due to a short somewhere, or it's on it's way to death.
