Later HMMWVs have some kind of particulate filter in the exhaust, maybe retrofit it?

Yes there is a small line. The valley is all block casting so it does not hurt much to have a pond there.

Well it should come as no surprise that it wouldn’t start with #1 at tdc and the spark occurring at #4. Easiest is just change the plug wires to match the distributor, more difficult is to properly time the oil pump to the distributor, I would only do that if you are using stock shielded...

It is my opinion that that black paint is the same black paint used on all GM truck frames mil or civy at the time.

Sounds like “death wobble”, jack up the front axle and see if there is play in the knuckle king pin bearings.

I bought a fork lift from them with “Ironclad assurance”, supposedly fully operational, when it arrived, numerous hydraulic components were smashed and the main mast cylinder was frozen, GP told me “Oh sorry, see the fine print, hydraulics not covered by our Ironclad bs assurance”. As far as I...

Was that a GP sale item?

Yup

OMG if you rip the pintle out of a deuce that will take a 1000 tons of pull . . .

How are you supposed to use the winch then? Pto locked out in D and wheels locked in N?

That seems like it would eliminate any circuits outside the cab. Try unplugging the brake light switches and jumping past them to see if that changes anything.

Possibly the stop light switch output wires will have continuity to ground through the lamp filaments.

Maybe the circuit breaker is too small? People love to move relays and CBs around without regard for where they belong.

Unplug the turn signal switch and see if the breaker still trips when you hit the brakes. I think that is where the brake light feed is interrupted so you get directionals when brakes are applied. Could be a short in the switch.

You will need to do some archeology to figure that out. Start by locating all the drilled holes in the rear area of the Jeep, and posting pictures or a diagram of them. Then we can let you know what sets would be mounted in those locations. A1's mounted a multitude of radio sets.

Do what suprman suggested, you have a non-oem cobble job.

Is that compressor on the passenger side? Looks backwards from OEM.

Maybe reconnect one wire at a time to the brake switches and see which wire causes the short? Maybe one wire engages the exhaust brake and the other the brake lights? Just guessing, sorry, my fmtvs are older.

You will get better results using the “hive” on here, have him relay to you EXACT SYMPTOMS and whether or not he is working on a crappy Ft Polk rebuild or not.

Please give us your thoughts on this monster. How it drives, quirks etc. I may be next.
