    Several Cranks To Start Cause?

    Yup. Use Permatex to reseal. Make a new gasket from sheet gasket material from your auto parts. If you ruin the existing gasket.

    Yes that's it.

    Another engine noise video

    Sounds a little like coming from the alternator. Take off the belt and see what you hear.

    Navy 5 ton, shovel mount?

    Yes that is strata blue. Lots of prep to get that color to look right because it is glossy.

    Multifuel doesn't have primer pump.

    Navy 5 ton, shovel mount?

    This color. It might be FS14064. Air Force was strata blue FS25045

    Navy 5 ton, shovel mount?

    Bracket what bracket?😵 Actually all Navy construction vehicles belong to the Seabees and would never be painted haze gray.

    Several Cranks To Start Cause?

    Whatever is squealing needs to be diagnosed and fixed. To inspect the hose, remove the screws that hold the pump carrier and lift it out. Don't have to drain tank.

    Several Cranks To Start Cause?

    Is this your new multifuel dump? Is the in tank pump running strong? Is the hose from the in tank pump to the pump carrier in good shape?

    85 m1009 swap to 6.5L TD

    It would be pretty cool to have the turbocharger in the cab with you, maybe on a hard pull it will glow a dull red at night?

    Simple LMTV battery question

    Looking at Appendix F of the WTEC manual, the TPS seems to vary from zero to 4.7 volts depending on how much throttle actuation there is.

    85 m1009 swap to 6.5L TD

    If you own the pictured "wet pull" it is much more valuable in one piece than to disassemble and sell bits and pieces.

    Smoking a battery

    Is your alternator overcharging? Remember that failure mode I mentioned in your diagnostics thread. Could be cooking your battery if you didn't notice the volt meter pegged out.

    Just spitballing...winching out your own deuce while alone.

    Huh? Are we talking about the Garwood 10,000 lb winch? That thing works like a charm and isn't dangerous at all if you know what you are doing. Electric winches suck, period. They sucked on HMMWVs, sucked on MRAPS, sucked on JLTVs.

    No. The number is meaningless just like a license plate on a car. Just like on a car, the letters and numbers increase as registration numbers are issued. For example, the HMMWV manufactured after yours would be NG4AZW. Now older registration number systems had embedded meaning, like the...

    M51 dump bed numbers meaning?

    The metal tag is for some kind of rustproofing that was applied in 1985. Looks like it gave up the ghost.

    Yes the registration number inside the footwell is (should be) the same as the registration number stamped on the main data plate or in twisted60's case, his truck's own dog tag.

    Guyfang, super interesting info I never knew. One correction though, NG2YK7 is the US Army registration number and NG does NOT stand for National Guard. NG is similar to the first letters of a civilian license plate.
