"amp" after the & symbol is short for ampersand, for some reason if you use &, it (software) puts amp afterwards. This post will probably have it.

It is very important to me as a buyer to hear about others' good experiences with a sellers specific item, not just the feedback number.

12 volt power to the solenoid is switched at the ignition switch and that is the only place. You will need to see where the circuit is broken by working your way back to the battery using your voltmeter/test light.

Yes to all your questions.

Normal fifth wheel plate for M916: Holland fifth wheel plate, p/n XA-351-A-L-P. Requires custom machined adapters.

Large: M747, M1000, large and small interchangeable: M172A1, M870/A1. All others: normal size.

If your M37 had/has an ammeter, there could possibly be an issue with using that harness, 2 of the 4 pins in the chassis harness go to the ammeter, if the conversion harness does not have all 4 pins tied together, something may not work right. This info is from a VERY dusty cobweb part of my...

Bad 3 lever switch.

Accessories only: Water pump (pulley), carb, fuel pump, starter, generator, distributor. The M engine also has a lifting bracket.

The obvious, you did raise the left bottom "panel lights" switch up to power the panel lights?

Find a 1960's Chrysler vehicle with a 318 and swap over the points type distributor and alternator with a mechanical regulator. Actually, this might be a good swap. The two stock electronic 'modules" always give me heck, especially keeping them properly grounded. Just keep a spare set of...

That's one of the trucks re-imported by SECO et al. My take on the OP's question about re-importation was did the US Govt perform large quantities of re-importation to the US.

Yes. The '42 closed cab GMCs, '42 GPW Jeeps, 1/2 ton and early 3/4 ton Dodges, and the 1 1/2 ton Chevys that are so commonly found stateside never went to war. I'm sure there are exceptions to this. Most of the '44 decked out open cab GMCs etc that we see so often at shows have come back via...

Study the pictures of the tires (if any) carefully. Several of the TFS CUCVs had mostly bad tires, meaning not towable. The CUCV with the huge BFGs had a severe right rear belt separation.

It has been my direct experience that most every WWII vehicle found here in the US in barns, under trees, abandoned in fields, etc never left the country during the war.

How awful. I could tell he was reaching the end of his ability to cope. I was really hoping this forum could help him with ideas about what to do to pull himself out of the rut.

Your M38A1 has a lot of potential. Front fenders and rear floor go to the scrap, but otherwise the parts look like they will sandblast clean. I don't need to tell you this is a "ground up restoration", right? Total disassembly, blast, paint, and reassemble. Get to know the major Jeep parts...

Bighurt is correct but mainly the M172A1, in that combination it is known as the "LET" or light equipment transporter, if a Cat D7 can be called light. That is what is mainly transported in engineer units.

This statement is incorrect. If this were the case, if you lightly applied brakes far away from a stop, by the time you got to the light, you would be in panic stop all wheels locked. It should say, the further down you press the pedal, the more air pressure is applied . . .

Don't forget the M916 and M920 have the fifth wheel plate for the large pin. You have to change it out in order to couple to the 871 and 872. The plate is an $850 item and the p/n is listed here somewhere.
