    Transmission leaking into air cleaner HMMWV

    No that happens when the transfer case cooling loop cracks and the transmission fills the transfer completely full until is spews from the vent, called “vampire syndrome” or something like that. Bypass the cooling loop, drain the transfer, refill the transmission and go on with life.

    Requesting expert opinions on if this M38 is a good choice to buy

    You are very wise, sounds like a $2000 deer hunter special.

    Call her Triple T for Tiff's Tough Truck. Good luck with it!

    M880 5.2 smoke coming out of air breather inlet

    If this just started happening suddenly, first thing to check is stuck carburetor float needle allowing flooding.

    Connect tachometer to my m1045a2

    The ebay listing says you use the ste-ice tachometer sensor on the oil pump drive so where is your confusion?

    3126 and c7 video on a CAT update

    The filter kit makes sense for fleets that have extended oil change intervals. We should be doing 3000 mile/annual oil changes which should mean spotless oil needed for the heui pump.

    Requesting expert opinions on if this M38 is a good choice to buy

    Got some originality issues: wrong bumper, tires, fuel tank, wheel on spare bracket. Missing top bows and brackets, the entire 24 volt system, pintle hitch. Paint is wrong color. Price too high.

    White top m1009

    The real Army registration is stamped on the vin plate in the door jamb. The stencil looks bogus.

    Deuce crank pulley wobble/loose

    Epilogue: hub is busted. Crankshaft nose is unscathed. The front main seal is a goner.

    Adding a Turbo to a non with side exhaust

    Maybe because you no longer need an exhaust pipe extension for fording. All the LDS-427 multifuel turbosupercharged deuces had rear exhaust, same as yours. Puts the “coal” right in the automobile driver’s window.

    South Korean M35's doing the job.

    Just in case someone licks the street they won’t get covid. Those are probably Kia made clones.

    M1093A1 LVAD questions

    Air drop door windows same as regular FMTV. Download the parts and operator manuals from the TM section of this website under “current conflict vehicles “. The TM will give you the part numbers you need to be able to start your parts search.

    Hydraulic control assistance

    My guess is someone whacked the hand lever and broke the gear or pinion. The solenoid provides pilot pressure to move the spool. The function would likely work electrically.

    My 2007 M1084A1 rebuild begins

    Agree with that. Ring is hard to come by and $$$$. Just double checking that you didn’t plan to scrap it along with the crumplecab.

    My 2007 M1084A1 rebuild begins

    Nice crane operation. Does the gun ring in the trashed cab need a new home?

    blackout lighting?

    They are called blackout marker lamps. There is another one in the grille called the blackout driving lamp. See ebay for these, the ones you want have black rubber connectors.

    What light is this?

    Never seen an adapter ring like that either loose or on a truck.

    Deuce crank pulley wobble/loose

    Funny story on this. My shop is right near a property with bee hive boxes. On Sunday when I was going to work on the truck, I noticed beekeepers removing the boxes. No big deal I thought until I started draining the radiator and was ATTACKED by pissed off BEES and bitten 5 times ouch...

    Looking for some information Please/ M1078 - M1083

    I’m a little confused, if the truck is working, why do you need a starter? FMTVs have lots of gremlins but the starter is not one of them. On the window, that can be problematic. Check ebay and call around to all the dealers such as Eastern.
