    Another LMTV No start thread M1078

    Press the two buttons simultaneously on the wtec 3 and codes for whatever is causing shift inhibit will show. The diagnostic manual is attached to a post in the middle of mkcoen's M1078 thread. Where did you find the hydraulic motor? I could not find it for less than $1k.

    What codes is it showing? Thought you said you were parting this one out?

    54 Pin Plug wire diagram needed

    The crude "STE-ICE" (simplified test equipment internal combustion engine) plugs in there. Totally analog inputs to the device such as fuel pressure, cranking amps etc. It does not need to be connected.

    Cat 7155 tranny

    FWIW, I've been driving my 915 for going on 6 years now and I really like the 7155. When you get the hang of it you can get to 70 mph as fast as regular traffic when empty.

    Tail light issues on newly acquired m998

    "Shorts" is +24 volts going straight to ground. Lots of fireworks with this. You have intermittent connections. Wiper, replace or eliminate the contacts where the windshield folds. Your lighting issue now sounds like a bad turn signal control handle.

    M1079a1 start issue

    Your own experience here says no. There are $2k worth of batteries sitting in that box, to me it is worth a $100 charger to keep them alive.

    M1079a1 start issue

    AGM batteries that are badly discharged or sulfated will need weeks of pounding by an AGM charger. Then they will be good as new. Several threads on this.

    Humvee ownership, day two. Power steering blew a gasket, I think.

    So which is worse: A HMMWV that sat since the 80's and every seal is rotten, or one that has been maintained/used and has 30 coats of flaking CARC?

    Tail light issues on newly acquired m998

    You left out important details: you have LEDs and the turn signals don't work. There are several threads here on getting LEDs to work.

    Halftrack crane

    Start sending Gary Hebding (Gary's Half Track Parts) as much money as you can every month. If the main data plate on the dash is gone, the frame will be stamped with M??-serial number so you can figure out what it started life as. It's a White/Diamond T type, not an International.

    M43 Ambulance - Distributor Questions

    Plate? As in the plate that the points mount to? Why? The terminal that the yellow wire goes to will be energized with the points open and deenergized with them closed. I see a chinese chrome coil, those suck.

    M43 Ambulance - Distributor Questions

    What you are describing is as it should be. When the points are closed, the negative side of the coil is connected to ground. Do this: remove all 6 spark plugs, reconnect them to the waterproof wires. Crank the engine and place your finger over the spark plug hole. Verify there is a spark...

    1953 M38A1 Serial Number location(s) ?

    Somebody put a flat fender radiator in there and whacked off the back of the grille where radiator is supposed to mount. The Jeep parts vendors are going to love you, ask for quantity discounts, I think I see 5K in parts you need for that one. Mine looked almost the same when I got it. It's...
