    Swapped engine, wont start, HOT battery terminals

    Well you learned something. Any time you are faced with a interconnected system and you don't know where the problem is, start diagnostics at one end and work forward.

    "Still no fuel" where? Glow plug hole or filter?

    M915A1 problems

    Blue smoke means burning oil, start with the easy fixes, see if the turbocharger has oil seepage on either side. Take the truck on a hard run and see if it clears up after you check the turbocharger. Make sure you don't have oil dilution. On the Allison, check the modulator cable and the...

    Swapped engine, wont start, HOT battery terminals

    I would disconnect the fuel line between the filter and injection pump so you can see when and if fuel has made it that far.

    M931 blown electrical parts - I messed up and would like help

    Ouch. What happened is, when you disconnected the batteries with the switch, the alternator no longer had reference voltage and it ran away. Likely the protective control box has burned up components inside. There is a thread here about repairing it.

    Tire shops that will install run flats on 395's / Hutchinson split rim

    My 2 cents, if you are planning expeditions to the middle of nowhere, it's time you learned to DIY. Super easy to do, just need a Milwaukee Fuel impact or old school pneumatic and a tire hammer.

    Glass to frame seals

    Use little pieces of the old seal to center the pane, and fill the rest of the void up with black silicone. Prevents the frame from rusting out.

    Plz Help with info about this Trailer (Laundry???)

    Welcome. Yes that trailer used to have a large washer and dryer extractor mounted on it. There is a picture of the complete unit in TM9-2800 Standard Military Vehicles, 1947 edition.. Then, just like now, people would scrap the washing equipment to get the trailer. I had one identical to...

    Cross Country in an M820

    Two things I would not do in your situation: try to open and fix the transfer away from home, or install any transfer "take out" that is not known 100% to be good.

    Cross Country in an M820

    Well that sucks. Replacing the transfer case is a arduous job that has to be done with proper lifting equipment. Look into what options you have for getting towed to a truck repair facility. A faster option to get home might be to have your truck hauled along with you. A transportation...

    Gauge question M35 reo

    Yes, ms means military standard, and the newer gauges work with older senders and opposite. Main thing is match up the pressure ranges. By ammeter, I assume you mean battery/generator indicator? It needs an ignition switched power feed.

    lmtv will not come out of neutral

    No problem towing it 500 feet. Seller needs to do whatever he can to accommodate an 18 wheeler. Driver will not want to back up that far or operate in a residential area. Nothing on display as I said can be many many problems. Get it home as Suprman advised and then you can start...

    lmtv will not come out of neutral

    Oh, you are providing confusing information. By saying "no codes" that tells us you know how to pull the codes and the display is working. But now you say "nothing on display". That could be any one of 100 things wrong to cause that. As far as hauling your truck, you want Joey at United...

    M1078A1 -10 Technical Manual

    You are THE BEST! See if you can upload it to the TM section of this site. I will buy a copy if you burn it on a CD or memory stick. Try to get the other -20 as well.
