    M1078

    Starter is missing as well. You don't want it, it's a total POS. Worst LMTV ever to be auctioned. Motor's locked too. Hole in the transmission.

    CCKW top bows / troops seats

    The bow corners are the same as modern deuce/5 ton. The top wood curved sections are available from JATONKA35.COM, same as M135 or M34. So are the wood staves. Troop seats are similar, but not the same as M35A2.

    M936 not shifting out of first

    I thought I read this has something to do with converter lockup switch? Edit: No, that is Stalling in first.

    M1078 Alternator Problem

    Good to know. You are saying the little yellow terminal on the 200 amp HMMWV alt (intended to power the 4L80E brain) has enough azz to run all the 12 volt loads on a FMTV? Thats a lot of amps when you figure lights and heater fan.

    1992 M998 HMMWV Hub Question

    It is a breather, look for a small poly line that should be attached there. I would reconnect the line, refill the hub, clean the oil up, and go for a ride. Most likely the oil is coming from the seal.

    Towing a m818

    Can you guys remind me, connecting the air lines between the tow vehicle and the 800 series does not cause the brakes to actuate, correct?

    M1078 WONT START!!!!(no power)

    Oh and check to make sure the smaller terminals on the solenoid switch are getting 12? volts from the harness before you replace the part needlessly.

    M1078 WONT START!!!!(no power)

    Nate has a M1078A1, and those switches in the battery box area are unique to the A1's and not covered in the basic M1078 manual series. The A1's technical manuals are only available electronically to the military.

    M1078 WONT START!!!!(no power)

    Yup that switch is bad, did not like being submerged. Get the part number off the label on it and Google it and see what you come up with. Should be a commercial part available from truck supply sources in Houston.

    Engine replacement for MAN KAT 6x6

    Red you just saved me a lot of typing. Only thing I can add is, nearly all engines and automatics manufactured since the 90's are electronic control. It may be advantageous to purchase a wrecked entire truck with the desired powetrain in order to be able to harvest the needed electrical...

    Engine replacement for MAN KAT 6x6

    What does the entire truck weigh presently? That will determine what Cummins engine will be best suited. Also, is the transfer case attached to the transmission as in the online Transmatic pictures? Not many Allison transmissions are set up like that, most drive a stand alone transfer case...

    rails up resto in picture form

    Rails up?, now you are replacing the rails too. (LOL) The saying is in the restoration biz "The only part of the car I could use was the shadow".

    Locate paperclips Reproduction

    The USMC cut those off because someone figured out they are not load rated. Not answering your question though. I would stop by a heavy duty truck spring shop and have them make a pair for you.

    Engine replacement for MAN KAT 6x6

    Looking a pictures of the transmission on Google images, it would appear that the ZF has some form of DIN German bellhousing. Truck engines made in the US have what is called a SAE bellhousing which is non-metric. I suspect you will have trouble mating the SAE bellhousing with a DIN...

    M931a2, no head/running lights

    See if the circuit breaker holds in stop light position. If so, a short circuit has occurred in the marker and headlight wiring. See if the breaker holds if you switch to high beam, that would eliminate the tail and marker light circuits.
