    Water in crankcase

    Post the engine compartment auction pics. Yermo or Albany? Water in the engine is usually due to USMC leaving the air intake open to the elements for years.

    M49 deuce generator sourcing

    Suggest you upgrade to Delco alternator, only reason to keep the 25 amp system is to win awards at military vehicle shows. Lots of threads on doing the swap.

    My first multifuel?

    Definitely was a wrecker, only wreckers had the Mico brake lock and the rear facing transfer PTO. Also the level wind on the winch is a wrecker thing.

    TRUCK M35A2 U.S AIR FORCE

    That is a wrecker chassis. Missing the wrecker bed. Not much can be done with it.

    Vacuum hose

    Looks like fording hoses. What's with the Kermit the frog green?

    Radio mount for HMMWV GMV

    This huge radio stack looks cool and all but be forewarned that it blocks the driver view of the RH mirror. I am going with the cooler Blue Force computer even though GMVs didn’t seem to have those.

    My 1985 m1038 hope you folks like it. In Vancouver Canada :)

    Oh you did an incredible job on that one! Love the 100 amp alternator! Was your truck USMC in service?

    Control Box Schematics

    Solenoids have been used to switch on heavy DC loads like starter motors since cars didn’t have cranks. My 1968 Ford still has the factory starter solenoid with 350,000 miles.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    If you are not familiar with setting up R&P in a heavy truck, take/send your pumpkins along with your new R&P to a competent shop like MTP drivetrain Many, LA.

    Radio mount for HMMWV GMV

    I believe the tray is the same as usual, what they did was have that u shaped surround made so more stuff could be mounted on top. Somebody was reproing those, maybe 86humv.

    Control Box Schematics

    My suggestion would be to offer new "guts" for the existing boxes we have. That will eliminate the expense of the box and the expensive connectors. And pppplease use a big honkin solenoid, not those 3 in a row transistors to light up the glows.

    1998 humvee drivetrain storage question

    I know you posted in the HMMWV section, but are you talking about a Chevy cutaway with the 6.5? The USMC HMMWVs typically are not fluid drained, whereas USAF vehicles are. I wouldn't drop pans but I would grab the crank pulley and make sure the engine is free.

    Alternative to D51R Optima on MEP-802A

    There is a group 51 agm available but be aware it has little tiny posts for a disgusting prius. I bought one at NAPA, didn’t really look at it until I had it in the store parking lot, ah no. Back it went.

    LMTV Cargo Cover install questions

    How does soldier a handle knowing the truck could shake off it’s air compressor, alternator or fan any time it feels like it? Kinda always in the back of my mind while driving these.

    LMTV Cargo Cover install questions

    The only time you would need those straps is if you drive at highway speeds with the vinyl tarp sides rolled up. If the sides are lashed down the top can’t suck off.

    WTH! $13,500 GP CUCV ii

    Not a CUCVii!!! Just a run of the mill USMC flightline pickup. Worth $3500.

    I don’t have a clue but MTP Drivetrain in Many LA will know and will fix you right up.
