Nice clean truck! The upgraded clearance lights tell me she went home to Sealy for reset.

Sure, these trucks are old now and any cable between the frame and battery, between the batteries, and the smaller gauge cable leading from the positive battery terminal to the engine area are all suspect. Remember the cable end terminals can be super clean while the corrosion lurks inside the...

The problems are related. When the alternator pegs out, the connection to the battery has been lost and the alt is "self exciting" without a reference voltage. If you are SURE that all the cable connections to the various posts are spic and span, and your batteries test good, look for this...

Haha they ride real smooth when heaped up to the top with gravel. Even gas powered, there is demand for dump trucks for site work etc. $5000 is selling price running with all repairs done. Plan on 6 wheel cylinders which is a huge amount of work to replace.

Nice truck. Usually dripping is from transmission. If filled to the fill hole it will leak out. Brake cleaner can save the clutch.

What about putting it back? How on earth do you expect to get precise torque wrench readings while hugging the front axle? Reassembly is a precision task that needs to be performed in a clean well lit shop.

Did you check the nitrogen pressure? I think it says 60 psi. You can tell which parts Rod Hall added because they are black painted. Have you done a similar “catch air” jump with your other hmmwvs so you can compare?

I recall it being a single conductor, maybe 1-0 gauge. I would use welding lead wire.

Familiar looking injection pump. This stuff is like a stray kitten, can't just turn it away, have to find a home for it.

I rebuilt it’s big brother the T77 on the shop floor. Pay lots of attention to the shims that generate the bearing preload.

In the FMTV forum. Oh and FOR SURE the driveshafts being out of phase (common) or failing the hinge test (any discernible up down movement at slip joint) will cause this, along with slinging the water pump and alternator too.

Required hydraulic fittings for rear winch. Aeroquip part number: (placeholder)

Put the military ignition switch back (proper wire connection) and see if that fixes it.

Are both of you seeing the voltmeter dip down during the glow cycle? If not, the plugs are not heating up leading to this problem.

GL sold them all. Now GSA (GSAAuctions.gov) sells ex-fire truck conversions which are typically rode hard put up wet.

Did AM General use these and if so what s/n is the change?

Always a few on Craigslist Houston

Thanks for the epilogue. Lesson learned, CUCVs should not be considered reliable until considerable preventive and predictive maintenance has been done. The injector pump seems to have a 10? year life between overhauls regardless of usage.

Look in the technical manual forum under Korean War era, use the M38 manuals, ignition system same as A1.

You will need to narrow down electrical or fuel issue. Put a voltmeter on the solenoid power lead at the injection pump to eliminate that cause. Then chase fuel issues.
