    Got another one

    Looks really good. Is it a 1031 or 1028? The door says 1031 but pintle says 1028.

    Assistance 1 ton service truck Miami, Fl

    Sorry about getting off track here, if you end up getting the truck, it will be very interesting to see if it has a GEP block, as GM quit making the 6.5 in '00. Seems unlikely that they would still have inventory of 6.5s to use on the 3500HD carryover model.

    M548 tracks

    I have the exact same problem as you. If the 548s came from Texas Forest Service, maybe they can assist with requisitioning surplus tracks through the FPP program. If not, get with beltfed on ebay, he may know who has some tracks stashed away in central Texas. If you break a pin, I have about...

    M998, 6.2, 3 speed, lost power and fluid leak from air filter!!

    Sounds like vampire. Empty transmission and overfull transfer will confirm.

    Painting a M998

    I would do what richdane reply 54 did. I dry sanded my HMMWV in my garage with zero respiratory protection 15 years ago and I'm still kickin'. The isocyanates are bad when the paint is uncured.

    $32k for a 1031 with the custom aluminum box and 7 kW pto generator could be correct.

    M1088a1 wtech lll no power check trans light on

    Haha he posted in the TM upload forum, was not possible to answer post until now. Sounds like your transmission harness has shorted wires. Check the harness end to end very carefully.

    Welcome. They started making those in 1991. Hint hint.

    New Member Intro - Ya'all have been great so far!

    In my opinion, the key to reliability in these trucks is to replace the 1984 engine/transmission with a early 2000's HMMWV takeout GEP 6.5 engine with 4L80E overdrive transmission. This is a drop in swap with the only tricky part being the transmission controller.

    lmtv computer/tach ?

    What year is your truck? Need to know that to advise where the computer(s) are. Tachometers were standard on winch trucks, you will need to find the components that were installed on winch trucks.

    M1081 4X4 LMTV air drop cargo truck pic and info request

    Go to GP website and look up past sales of "M1081".

    M998 wont shift out of 1st--any ideas

    And maybe the cable is broken in the conduit. Pull the end that's in the transmission and see if the plunger moves when soldier b presses the gas pedal.

    Goat Parts

    Its funny how those goats have been discussed on this forum so many times over the years as they sat there at the forestry yard forever. Everyone speculated that they were going to be scrapped.

    M38A1 body numbers?

    Look at post 4. Based on that data, looks like Willys was cranking out about 1500 jeeps per month. So your is about 3240 jeeps after serial 75910, or 11/54 give or take. You should not have a hinged grille though.

    Got my Light Material Handling Crane (LMHC) today!

    Well today was not the day, GP sold two for $3200 ea, then add 300 for freight, I don't think so.

    transfer case rear output flange

    Curious how the ear got broken off? Let me guess GP forklift rash? Hopefully the shaft is not bent or case cracked. Had to be an immense force to break that part.
