Ha, I just did a thread on this. But first welcome to the site. A tailchain/hook assy from a M35A2 older deuce works great. Red River Parts and Equipment has the best deal on these. I did not notice that you could fool the winch into operating with the transmission in drive. Will have to...

Yes. I don't think the HMMWV ever had GM turbo 6.5s but the H1 Hummers sure did. Stanadyne pump gave owners fits.

I fiddle with 2 valve Detroit 671s as well.

Well, color is Federal Specification 24087 for the truck and flat white for the numbers. Go to "militarystencils.com" for what your A1's stenciling should look like. Choke goes right next to steering column. Fording control goes in the hole where the fording instruction plate is.

There was a period of time prior to GEP starting production in 2000 that 6.5 equipped HMMWVs had GM 6.5 engines. These have the cracking issue, which is why GEP had to do design changes to the engine.

Take off valve covers and run it, look for pushrod issues.

Welcome. You are super lucky that plate was there, most of the time they are missing. The main data plate cluster for the dash is available new old stock (NOS) and a local engraver can engrave your serial number. Year of manufacture should be 1952 though based on that low serial.

Why do you have the 12 volt winch connected to the battery to the front of the truck? It should be connected to the battery to the rear of the truck. The battery that has the negative cable going directly to the frame under the cab.

Get some Mr Bubble mixed with water and a paint brush and go over everything. This was how we found leaks at the second largest air conditioning manufacturer in the world. I kid you not.

Mine did that once, it was the condenser.

OMG spend 10 hours in a 915 and you will be ready for a few days rest. These things are only slightly better than a full tactical truck. These trucks are good for local drayage and such. I love mine but just for occasional use.

Search term "oliver". Welcome and have fun.

Yes at very low speed. The TM discusses this, better check before smoking a $4000 transmission.

Welcome Steve. The M38A1 would have carried the same docs in the folder, not much has changed over the years. The binder itself would have been a green one with no camo. A vendor has these on ebay very reasonably. You can post questions about your M38A1 directly in the M38/M38A1 forum.

Air ride? I think about that often. Huge job to remove the Hendrickson walking beam setup and then find a donor air ride tandem set up and redrill the holes for it in the frame. Try an air ride seat first. Helps some.

That fits a HMMWV that has been modified for or originally equipped with a 242 transfer.

Welcome. That is a very nice well equipped GPW. It definitely appears to have had a ground up restoration. Any provenance would have had to be discovered by the person doing the restoration. (uncovered markings etc.) In general, '42s typically remained stateside.

Welcome. I will chime in on 6, until the fuel leak is fixed, starting will be difficult. Often the fuel filter base is to blame. Also, check your glow plugs for continuity. When those are burned out, 6.2s hate to start.

Welcome, nice truck! The red circle thing is your stoplight switch. Take it off and bring it to a heavy duty parts house for an updated replacement. Please don't drive it with 60 psi air in the system. All 915s ride like that, they will jar your teeth out with the Hendrickson suspension...
