    Check before you buy!

    That is perfect now. It is the correct top. The vinyl top without the integrated front and rear curtains replaced canvas in the 70's and 80's.

    Canvas groove on windshield question

    Carefully hammer it closed?

    For sure not for a 5 ton. Are there any numbers stenciled on it?

    Hate to be Debbie downer but that top doesn't look right either. The tie ropes should line up perfectly with the tiedowns.

    Can anyone ID this hood?

    I think that fits the WWII Dodge 3/4 ton WC's. Missing the lower louvered parts. Photo credit "command-car.com"

    M1025A2 Question

    You are very wise to buy an Eastern unit. The Eastern 1025 GMVs are special trucks and did not rot for ages unused in GA or CA. Love mine, runs like a scalded dog.

    LMTV CTIS UPGRADE

    For sure. Hundreds of fire departments all over the US have these trucks now and desperately need repair parts to keep them operational for years to come.

    FMTV Windshield Replacement

    Absolutely this is a job for a pro that does this all day long. Call around to local heavy truck repair shops and ask which glass shop they use.

    Ben Hur Trailer Landing leg

    Rubber tire is super early. Deleted due to rubber shortage.

    Which military truck is the most capable? Good survival vehicle?

    When y'alls gas sucking Toyotas are out of gas, abandoned on the side of the road, I will pull up in my multifuel deuce and punch a hole in your oil pan and transmission pan and fuel up with 3 gallons of your oil.

    M1025A2 Question

    The 2002 will have (from the factory) a GEP engine and the 1995 will have a GM engine, which is more prone to cracks.

    Thank you! Texas here!

    Welcome from south of houtx. Question, if your truck is in your driveway, why does it keep showing up on the spam ads I get from Govplanet?

    Passenger side switches

    Those are brush truck add-ons. In military service there are no switches there.

    200 A alternator probably shot - but why, and what now ?

    As said, the Niehoff regulators are what burn out, not the actual alternator. The regulator sees no high current. And the crappy HMMWV start boxes are not involved with charging current either.

    M920 starter issues help

    Maybe wrong voltage solenoid

    M-37 Oil Pressure {Gauge}

    The 0-60 gauge has a specific sending unit as does the 0-120. There is a PS article about this, as the Army has been mismatching these forever. I would put a mechanical gauge on the truck temporarily to rule out the engine.

    200 A alternator probably shot - but why, and what now ?

    Niehoff really needs to step up their game. No reason for their products to be so unreliable. Similar problems on FMTVs.

    manual transfer switch ideas?

    I run a Reliance Controls unit. Works great.

    Plan to buy a 3D printer

    3D printing is a hobby thing not a manufacturing thing. Maybe for prototypes. In manufacturing we turn out widgets every minute or less, no time for hobby machines. Must use injection molding.

    I will have to tow 1031A - Anyone tried (what do you think) a tow dolly?

    X2 on what Keith advised. If you have to back up, turn the key off or the wheels will go to full steer. What is sticking out of the hood? Looks like a bird feeder but maybe it’s a fording extension?
