    Advanced Electrical Diagnostics Needed M1078

    Oh yes! The conductivity between the cables on the 12 volt diode stud would come and go with temperature humidity wetness etc. The corrosion from the heat causes the connection to become a “semiconductor” of sorts.

    Advanced Electrical Diagnostics Needed M1078

    Yay! You have found the original problem that the Army never could, that caused this truck to be a hanger queen. Most certainly this problem is over. Good work!

    M1078 1998 model

    Very unfortunate situation but it is repairable. Two cables in the battery box go directly to the slave receptacle. They do not need to be connected. The negative cable goes to the “shunt” under the hydraulic power unit near the spare tire. Both the 12 volt and 24 volt cables go to the...

    Power steering leak

    Nope. Not normal. HMMWVs are not supposed to have qds anywhere. Get rid of it. EDIT: I have been corrected on this, later model HMMWVs DID have this qd from the factory. Sorry for the misinformation.

    M35A2 engine rebuild?

    Advanced Electrical Diagnostics Needed M1078

    M37 no power, good idle

    From tank TO carb or INCLUDING carb? What vacuum readings are you seeking at various rpms? Does pulling out the choke partially help?

    G7117 Axle questions

    Yes this truck is not like your 5 ton where all the drive shafts spin the same way. Does your rear axle have the tic tac toe pattern on the cover? If not it’s wrong. 6bt won’t fit in the engine compartment, maybe a 4 bt will. The stock transfer case might be able to handle 200 hp, I...

    LMTV picture w/odd wheels

    They look cool but if you get into mud they will be very difficult to clean on the inside.

    LMTV picture w/odd wheels

    That already happened 5 years ago. Someone had them on ebay for about 6 months. Army never put them on trucks.

    How to move a dead truck?

    Pay attention to the overall height on these, if your flatbed is dock height it will be to tall. Avoid crane loading these at all costs, unless you have appropriate spreader bars something will get smashed. Use a trailer with ramps and winch on.
