    JB Weld to fix tach?

    JB Weld can fix anything. Prob is the tach sounds like it is seized.

    My M880 Thread (pics plus bonus M882)

    The 880's came with the typical rubber mat with jute backing. As you can imagine, military use coupled with 70's build quality resulted in the mat getting soaked and resulting ugly floorboard rust even during the military service. The mats were ripped out and replaced with nothing.

    1984 CUCV transmission.

    If it is all greasy and nasty with a red tag, think "who would have pulled this just for the fun of it". It needs rebuilt.

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    Great! Please share the crosses when you have everything figured out. Next, see if you can figure out a cross for the cab air bag/shock combo units. They are also about to fail on all the 1990's trucks. Let us know how bad you punish you LMTV off road. I've seen some videos of the MTVs...

    LMTV Rim / Tire Question

    Call Torres Recycling Sealy TX for aluminum rims with Goodyear MV/T 395's mounted. Yes you need the bead lock. These came off Caiman MRAPs which use the standard 10 hole Budd pattern.

    Is the M820A2 Multi-Fuel?

    The multifuel version of the 820 is a M291. Both mount the M4 body.

    1984 CUCV transmission.

    Well sounds like we might be back to my original fear that the 2-3 shift spool is stuck. This is fairly uncommon, but in my feeble mind everything points to it. Overhaul of the valve body is not particularly easy. Might be a job for a trusted transmission shop.

    I need help with 1942 Ford Script Jeep

    Just looking at the rear panel and the tube bumper, you can tell the Jeep looks good cosmetically, but once you peel off that outer layer, you are not going to like what is underneath. Rust, pitting, holes, dents ??? The body will require an immense effort to fix.

    1984 CUCV transmission.

    I would clean up the modulator bore such that the pin moves super easy. Next I would pull the governor and see what the gear looks like. If "reving very high" is about 2400 rpm at 40 mph you ARE in 3rd gear. 55 mph is somewhere around 3000 rpm which is screaming for a diesel, but they can...

    I need help with 1942 Ford Script Jeep

    If your plans involve a full on historical restoration, hammer that metal back and put a for sale sign on that one and find one that has not been streemed lined.

    1984 CUCV transmission.

    I think I see the pin still in the transmission. If the pin were gone the transmission would have never shifted out of first before. You say it goes into second. Please double check which gears it really is going into by manually shifting the lever into 1, 2 and D. My experience has been...

    What super singles are these?

    Those are Goodyear MV/T 395's from FMTV trucks. Installed on stock rims using tubes. Not easy to seat the lock ring. Wheels are dish out and hubs do not need to be flipped.

    Possible acquisition

    Looks like a '41. Gonna have to see more of it, but the cab looks mighty rusty.

    Need some help with wiring

    I can see no reason why your 12 volt negative, 24 volt negative and 110 volt neutral/ground can't all be grounded/bonded to the frame.

    1984 CUCV transmission.

    Yes valve body. I don't think an additive will fix it. Could also be the governor like you said, check that before the valve body.

    1984 CUCV transmission.

    Welcome. My thoughts are your TH400 can be fixed without pulling it. If the modulator and related doesn't fix it, the control body sounds like it has a stuck spool.

    1 1/2" x 2" steel tubing

    McMaster Carr can supply short pieces.

    Need some help with wiring

    Don't know much about RV's but on any other 12 volt vehicular system, the ground return is typically the chassis/body of the vehicle. Looks like you are using wood, so yes it makes sense to run your negatives to a buss, as it appears your panel does not have places to land negative wires.
