Rest easy vampire was fixed on later model trucks like yours. Your issue is an air leak somewhere in the power steering circuit that is allowing air in, which causes the fluid to become aerated, which causes it to overflow.

Sounds like the cable operated modulator is snapped. 45 mph??? Army drove these with the needle pointing down …

Engine leaks oil is why someone started the repair. No doubt the air compressor is missing the support bracket.

Should be ok in your neck of the woods. Check into costs of CDL, TXDMV registration, USDOT registration, drug screen, medical card, commercial insurance. It adds up.

Bad idea to drive it!!! Almost guaranteed to break down. Our similar older pumpers at my fd have their own parking spot at the city garage.

You will need to reach out to the various military vehicle clubs in Europe to get info on that setup. The body on that Jimmy is a post war item manufactured in Belgium, France or possibly Germany.

Yes the 656 is a screamer, the LDS in it is turned way up to 200 horsepower and the Allison seems to keep it around the redline 2800 rpm most of the time you are on the throttle.

Pretty sure they are metric. I would remove one of the remaining ones and take it to the auto parts store to match up.

Looks like some screws fell out on the torque converter cover. Did someone stuff their blanket in there?

I believe those were made by Wolf Coach of Mass. I think they are still in business. They specialize in tv mobile units.

That trailer with electronics must have cost a million or more back in early 2000s.

Lots of reasons your VIN didn't appear on the list. Most likely is that the truck was sent to surplus before the list was generated from the database in the 2000's. The list reflects trucks on the books at that time. That list is the only list in existence. In 1973, AM General was busy...

Undefined ratio error means this: The computer continually monitors the engine RPM (TISS) and the transmission output RPM (TOSS). Say for instance, in first gear, computer is expecting the ratio between the two sensors to be 6:1 for example. Then upon shifting to second, the ratio should be...

Sounds like the trouble is inside the transmission or related to the harness. What is happening is when the transmission is going from 2nd to 3rd gear, the software is expecting a range of values from a sensor and it is not seeing those values, and the software tells the program to stop. No...

Assuming you are taking about Behr marquee equivalent to SW’s Superpaint? They are both acrylic formulations. I did a utility trailer with SW in the flat 686 tan color and it is looking great after many years. Might come down to which store is convenient to you.

I stand corrected. Your truck was a 1968 M52A2 tractor without winch. See post 18, PDF page 42 for a listing of VIN 952418802. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/carnacs-historical-vin-info-thread.193055/

VIN will tell the story. Post it up, change some of the 2 last digits for security.

Somewhere it was claimed that the Rockwell SUHD rear end is problematic. I was wondering about that as my 916 had the pumpkin replaced in service. Do you have an opinion on this after running all these miles.

Does the data plate say M656? That bed came off a different truck, maybe yours was a van originally.

There is an adapter but it is part of an expensive hard to find service kit. Make your own by finding a length of solid core ignition wire, you can temporarily jamb it in the shielded spark plug and distributer cap. This wire is used on antique lawn mower engines. The modern fiber core wire...
