    M920 starting issues.

    There are dozens of 39 year old connections between the batteries and the starter. I would start by poking around with voltmeter to see what's up before buying a starter.

    Growler gets their b*lls busted - watch out for turtles?

    There are some exceptionally boring YouTube videos about them. Goofy Brazilian engine, too narrow, and fugly. I don't want one either.

    M8 Greyhound help

    Yes, the Hercules engines are 1920’s designs, and precision bearing halves were not yet invented. Rebuilding a Hercules engine, specifically setting up the crankshaft clearances, is an all day thing using trial and error with shims and lots of plastigauge.

    Brake light on, locks up rears

    Thanks everyone so far. Update, I unplugged the proportioning valve connector and the brake warning light did not extinguish. Sure enough it’s a stuck handbrake switch. Based on ya’lls responses, with a completely empty truck, this might be the nature of the beast.

    m1045a2 only two gears, limp mode?

    Order a new part and cross fingers? If I were here I would suggest taking it to a transmission shop, but over there it will be very difficult to find GM Hydramatic expert.

    Brake light on, locks up rears

    Newly arrived M1025A2. Master cyl full, no leaks, stops on a dime but it feels like rear axle is doing the work, locks up tires rear only with hard application. Any special HMMWV wisdom here other than bleed brakes and replace master cylinder if problem does not resolve?

    M561 from California to Georgia

    Goat is 20 feet long, won’t fit in MTVR. That’s the issue with the haul cost, takes up most of a drop deck trailer. Rates around $2/mile for those.

    6.5 GEP NA or 5.9 12v NA?

    The 6.5 TD in my 2000 Chevy K3500 has more power than I know what to do with. It will pull 20,000 lbs up a long hill easy and spin tires if I jump on the throttle. I wouldn't dream of replacing it with a Cummins.
