    Truck bought for parts, got it running, but…

    Growling from front passenger hub

    The first thing I would do is remove the magnetic drain plug and spread the stuff stuck to the magnet on a clean white piece of cloth, let the oil soak in and see what is left. that will tell you if your suspicion is correct, if it is then disassembly will be needed to determine the failure...

    Turn signal wiring

    The schematics are too large to post here, here is a link to download one of the TMs that has schematics, look at appendix H1 You did not state the model/serial number of your truck is but the turn signal wiring is pretty much identical across the HMMWV line...
