    Three lever switch

    The only time I had issues with tripping the breaker on 12 volts was when pulling a civilian trailer with lots of clearance lights. Very scary to be going down a dark highway that night and have every single light go off.

    Three lever switch

    Nope they are all the same and the breaker is sealed inside.

    Three lever switch

    Yes, the M880s used the switch with 12 volts, however, unless you are using LED headlights, you will be close to the trip point of the internal circuit breaker.

    Dead short glow plugs

    The 12V power stud there next to the glow plug solenoid does not have a large enough cable to feed 100 amps.

    M1079 only moves in reverse

    Read up in Section 6-2 code reading. There are no fault scenarios that only allow reverse shifting. Very very likely the keypad is defective. Simple fix. You have WTEC III control system.

    M813 only front axle is engaging in mud?

    What you are describing is impossible, the T138 is direct-coupled to the rear bogie when in high or low range.

    M172A1.....Legal???

    M818s were used with 172s all day long in the military. Some 172s even have a data plate covering max GVWR when towed with a 5 ton tractor. The brakes are completely compatible.

    Wiring on my '52

    Welcome, glad you decided to start posting now. My personal preference would be to do away with the metal shell connectors and go with the current set up for which parts are super easy to come by. I use Erik’s for this. Good luck.

    M1008 idling good but engine shut off driving.

    The injection pump has a lot of plastic parts inside which do not have infinite life. Personally after 10 years after overhaul I expect the pump to leave me on the side of the road.

    No magic on HMMWVs. Start unplugging stuff until you isolate it. Likely culprit start box..

    remote start cranking time?

    You are asking to grind the teeth off your flywheel or starter gear. Just sit there with your thumb over the alarm like the rest of us and monitor the gauges and listen for knocking. I am not trying to be a smart ass even though this post may come off that way.

    What’s that for.?

    I was referring to the switch only.

    Thoughts on a 51 M38 price wise??

    Suggest you pay for an inexpensive membership here which will allow you to post a free classified ad. Ad needs a price, condition, lots of pictures, and what you are willing to do to assist the buyer with shipping.
