Yup spiking is advance warning of about to catch fire. You can remove the transformer rectifier box and be left with a perfectly good and reliable 12 volt alternator.

Be careful that pos box hanging off the back of the alternator will catch fire.

Congratulations on your purchase. The lube order “LO” calls for OE30 (OE means oil engine) for the engine, which translates to 10W30. Most of us use Dexron ATF in the transmission, which is 10 weight oil with additives needed by automatic transmissions.

Welcome Our Murphy. Yup these trucks are 40 years old and lots of parts are at the end of shelf life. Once you debug all these systems you will have a reliable truck.

Since the brake system is not much different than any dual circuit light truck, I would “bench bleed” the master cyl to make sure no air is trapped in there.

Wes has a want ad for a 900 series front axle, probably not miss 6x6 for long ...

Looks like a HMMWV one that took a blue pill

Pics? The truck supply house here in Houston has 31 flavors of those on the shelf.

Looks like that trailer will work. I know with a van trailer it would not work on mine.

I highly recommend repairing what you have. As you know, H1s have computer controlled engines and the 4L80E transmission control is integrated. Everyone had problems with the Stanadyne injection pump back then. Now there are remote kits to move the electronics away from the intense heat of...

No H1 parts will be in military TMs.

I did and no problems. Nothing worse than dealing with all the headaches that come with the newer diesel sets.

What’s great about those is it’s easy to convert them to natural gas fuel. A real good option during most power outages.

Welcome. Those are bucket seats for the WWII open cab weapons carriers, I’m not smart enough to say 1/2 or 3/4 ton, but the guys at Vintage Power Wagons will know and likely will be interested in buying what you have.

Better do some measuring with that, I had the exact same plan, put a 916 winch platform on a 915, found out the trailer will hit it . . . had to abandon the plan.

If your driveshafts don’t pass the “hinge test” which is basically zero discernible movement up and down at the spline, your best option is to bring them to a drivetrain specialist and have them replace worn components.

M100 or M1000? M100 was made in the 50’s.

Many stories on here of failed LMTV engines due to broken oil lines, which are caused by the way by vibration caused by driveshaft spline wear. If you are not a DIYer it’s a matter of doing the math. Very likely the crank is scored up already, which makes an inframe not an option.

Noise suppression capacitor, put it back. Prevents the enemy from radio locating the vehicle from electrical noise transmission.

Yes they are.
