    Can you help ID this trailer?

    I think they are 6 volt as they are supposed to be pulled by CCKWs. The giveaway is the builders data plate.

    Can you help ID this trailer?

    It is a German made clone of a WWII Ben Hur 1 ton trailer. Once you remove the lighting system, it is very difficult to tell from the real thing.

    powder coat engine parts

    Wolfeblasting.com in LaMarque can take care of your exhaust components with some kind of ceramic coating. They used to do all my blasting until I insourced.

    m1078 recovery

    I'm thinking that is why your alternator is not charging. The alternator has internal protection logic that will not allow excitation if there are incorrect voltages at the posts. Someone has goofed up the wiring on your truck between the batteries and the alternator, or the reverse polarity...

    m1078 recovery

    Which "both posts"? One large post should be 24 volts and the other large post should be 12 volts.

    tow bar info needed

    Light/Medium towbar visual aid: Light is on left, tube is 2.25" od, medium on right, tube is 2.75" od. The medium did not exist until the 80's, prior to that only the light existed and was routinely pretzellized by the military. It was almost impossible to find a good one, you had to buy 6 to...

    D60 oil change and more !

    Powder cures at 400 F for 20 minutes. Can Dana's glue take that? Who knows.

    Running lights

    Check the wires that go through the door jambs for crushing or exposed conductors. You have a short circuit and that is a likely spot.

    m998 with no shift from 1st to 2nd

    That tells me the issue is internal to the transmission. Hopefully member "rustystud" will chime in as he rebuilds these and knows them in and out. I don't.

    m998 with no shift from 1st to 2nd

    To me, checking this involves pulling it out of the transmission and verifying the plunger moves with the gas pedal. I am focused on this item because on a vacuum modulated TH400, it will also not shift out of first if not functioning.

    m998 with no shift from 1st to 2nd

    Check function of the mechanical modulator. Maybe the cable inside snapped. Oh and welcome to the forum. More folks will chime in shortly.

    m1078 recovery

    I have found that no matter how discharged the batteries are, if the alt is charging, the voltmeter will read in the green.

    M998 Voltage Anomaly

    Possible intermittent connection to the alternator excite wire, but most likely the alternator is on it's last legs.

    A generator issue, 60 amp aluminum strap and black thick wire

    Since "they" convinced you to buy the wrong alternator, you will have to figure out how to attach the huge cable to the little stud on the 60A. Recipe for disaster.

    Me thinks your motor might be a little small.

    Should a MEP003 run a 5ton ECU on the heat side?

    Looks like you answered your own question. Maybe you can disconnect a heat strip or two to get the load down to 9 kW.

    28 Volt DC Generator Question

    See below post and disregard this info: 1. Those are slave receptacles, used to plug in the slave cable 2. They were used to charge vehicles with dead batteries, specifically in arctic environments 3. Yes 4. These are rope pull start

    Need 12 volt DC source

    Remove the PDP cover and 12 volts is the middle connection on the left.

    Looks like a light towbar to me.

    Difference between a 2 door troop carrier and a regular 4 door rig?

    The body tub is the same between trucks set up as 4 man and the 2 man tallbacks. Everything related to the troop seats bolts in. Shelter carriers did not have rear seat risers.
