    Won an M1083A1 - 1900 mile recovery trip soon! (ND to CA)

    Next, check for power in and out of reverse polarity device under the spare tire.

    Won an M1083A1 - 1900 mile recovery trip soon! (ND to CA)

    "Dash stays day", what does this mean? Check the solenoid by the batteries. Control power to it? Power out of it?

    Mismatched gear ratios in differentials M998

    That is certainly a quality control issue, but as far as the truck is concerned, the mismatch is allowable as the transfer case has an inter-axle differential. When HL or LL is engaged, the inter-axle differential is locked, and if you are on a high traction surface, the truck will pop and jump...

    DoD Excess & Gov Planet

    See the other thread on this subject. In a nutshell, GP is stockpiling the inventory while they set up the retail quantity marketing strategy designed to realize profit previously enjoyed by businesses such as yours.

    My new MV 1955 M38A1

    Welcome! We can help you figure your M38A1 out. Behind the drivers seat on the sponson, there is a bracket, are you thinking this is for propane tanks? If so, that is not the case, that is the MT-299 mount for the VRC-10 radio set. The tube attached to the carburetor that has copper lines is...

    I Took the Plunge: 71DeuceAK's 1986 M928A1 Project

    I would think the FD put the non directional on for stability in rough terrain with the water load. Very unusual for an A1 to be retrograded to duals by the military. Good luck fixing the 855. It's a big motor to be swapping.

    Vin# issues M-813

    This topic is worthy of it's own thread if there is not one already. It is conceivable as the 800 series began deliveries in '69, but personally I have never seen pics of one. The older M39A1/A2 series seems to have been used exclusively.

    m998 3 amp battery drain question/help

    Others here need to chime in before you replace anything, but I believe the protective control box is to blame. The alt is ok.

    m998 3 amp battery drain question/help

    See if voltage is present at the alternator excite wire with ignition off. If so, the draw is from the alternator, but is the normal draw. The protective control box may be sending the power when it is not supposed to. I really don't think installing the LEDs is related. With the master...

    Halftrack Tire Innertubes

    Are you using flaps? You must or this will happen.

    Is this the correct transmission?

    Agree, transmission is not for your Jeep or should I say Jeep salad. I see a M38A1 body on a CJ-2 frame.

    M927A2 / M939- Strictly reliability upgrades and modifications.

    Replace the humpty dumpty transfer case with something less of a ticking time bomb.

    Checking wheels for defects

    So I'm rummaging around at Fuzzy's place and there in his scrap pile (hint) was a WWII half track combat rim with 75 year old non directional tire still mounted. I'm thinking, oh, people need these for half tracks, better save it. So I look it over, drag it out, load it in my little truck...

    HIGH SPEED GEAR SWAP With Photos, 1995 A-0

    Couple hints: It is good practice to keep the parts on each hub together as a set. Also, if your hubs were nice and quiet, and you don't feel like doing a lash clearance set up on your spider gears, note the clocking of the wheel bearing nut's dowel pin, and put it back in the same spot going...

    The 77 AMG Saga BEGINS...

    Looks pretty good! Do yourself a favor and go through the fuel system: Drain and remove the tank and fill with 10 gallons of E85, haul it around with you in your daily driver for a few days. Then drain, remove the in tank pump, flush with water, scoop/shop vac out the remaining rust, replace...

    M916A0 (AMi) and spicer 1750 aux transmission

    Somewhere on here is a discussion about the 916 fast gearsets, and I believe that Soni got the last ones ever made or some such story.
