    Axle Shaft removal for towing FMTV

    Ha I wasn’t poopooing the baby towbar, that’s all they had back in the day for 50,000 lb loaded 5 tons etc. I have used my baby one forever without issue on 5 tons. But I have seen many in the DRMO scrap hopper twisted into a pretzel.

    Question about my 1985 M1008 Gen 2 system

    All the way to the right in the red field means one of your alternators has a bad regulator and is overcharging. Fix it before driving, you will cook your battery. Verify with a hand held volt meter.

    M1088A1 Spaghetti Monster

    It goes behind the heater. Might help to remove it. Fan control solenoid is cannibalized, but your WTEC control is there thank goodness. Is your PDP in place?

    M1088A1 Spaghetti Monster

    What year model is it? If the bundles are cut, start looking for a parts truck. FMTVs are tricky to fix electrically even when the harnesses are still attached.

    Super early HMMWV on govplanet?

    It was a pure pleasure buying HMMWV parts back then. There was no market whatsoever so the two vendors that had parts were happy to get rid of them.
