    Help identifying a connector on the firewall

    A little back story on that connector. When the M35 first came out in 1950, they were equipped with an ammeter in the instrument cluster, not a voltmeter. The ammeter used a shunt, which was located inside the 25 amp voltage regulator. On the connector, one pin goes to the batteries, the...

    M1070 Tech & Tips

    Hola amigo, go to www.liberatedmanuals.com for all the HET manuals. The manuals are very helpful with diagnosis for the problems you are having. I would say your no start issue has to do with the position sensor. Most likely the connections to it are marginal and causing too high resistance...

    Help identifying a connector on the firewall

    That connector used to connect to the 25 amp generator regulator. At one point, a 60 amp alternator was installed and a conversion harness was installed, that is what your defective connector is mated with. How you repair it is really up to you.

    Electrical question for M1010 with Plan B Mod

    You for sure need 12 volts. The injector pump solenoid, glow plug controller, and the starter relay near the ash tray are all 12v and needed to run.

    Any body live and have some storage to rent near Fort Hood,Tx ?

    Cool RV. That's all you need to do, drive over here within the allotted pick up time, check the axle lubes, latch onto it and hightail it home. The diesel both ways will be half of a professional haul. Don't try to drive the LMTV.

    Need a little hydraulic assistance/troubleshooting on FMTV Wrecker

    If your hydraulic multi-stage pump was flaky, it would likely do the same with all functions, not just one or two. Back to the spool valve diagnosis, I seem to remember the wrecker has a control pendant with electric switches. The switches power soleniods that are mounted on top of a bank of...

    Need a little hydraulic assistance/troubleshooting on FMTV Wrecker

    Going off my industrial experience here, I would say the solenoid actuated spool valves for the functions in question are sticking.

    Love my CUCV and so does everyone else.

    Do you guys see what I do? It's a M1031 SECM body cut down looks like 30". That had to be a lot of work.

    M932A1 winch siezed up?

    I would start by removing the cover of the drag brake housing and seeing if the band is rusted to the drum. I would also see if any water comes out of the worm housing drain.

    What's up with draining all the fluid's when De-Miling a M1079 ?

    No its a Ft Hood thing. They have been known to be pretty brutal with the techniques, like pick axes to oil pans. But the trucks are not any worse than other locations for the most part.

    Gauge Cluster Issues

    The gauge panel needs to be well grounded. There is a supplemental grounding harness available that helps with these issues.

    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    These simple geometric shapes were used to identify stateside army command regions. Since your Jeep likely did not go to war, it stands to reason it would have been painted with one of these symbols.

    Looking into adding a M1078 ?

    I think it will work. Your design follows the proven concept that has been applied to the M35A2 type trucks. Only thing is, installation of this would appear to be a day's project in a well equipped shop. I suspect installing this to facilitate a recovery will be difficult. Wehring had the...

    Looking into adding a M1078 ?

    Premier is where the wheels and nuts came from. They have been scrapping those wheels as fast as they can dismount them.

    Looking into adding a M1078 ?

    The studs are the same but the nuts are very special: (ones on the bottom)
