My advice: slaving these off is the best way to smoke all kinds of expensive electronics. Install new hot batteries and try again

That is true. But if it came from the 1033 program and has demil parts like a turret, it has to go back to DLA. Sure if it’s a garden variety 998 that came from State Surplus, the 18 month rule applies then they can sell it. Most Law agencies get their Army toys from 1033.

These prices should tell you he wants the truck gone. Swapping the transmission is a 2 day job, say 16 hours at what $150 an hour shop rate? $2400 labor.

Here are the rules: Turn-Ins and Transfers (dla.mil)

Huh? Have you personally witnessed below spec main hydraulic pressure on the “main” test port? Less than 218 psi? Refer to appendix B.

Go to post 11 and 12 and see if you can find your truck listed. If so that means your truck was US Army which 95% were. Then you have 3 choices, as delivered factory OD (see behind the seat to match), 4 color MERDC camouflage, or 3 color NATO camouflage. Oh and welcome to the site, love the...

When you try to put it in gear with the clutch pressed, do the gears grind? If so it is likely the clutch driven disk is rusted stuck to the flywheel.

Lemme guess, pressurized antifreeze fills the gear case pushing oil out the vent, overfilling all the other gear cases on the vent circuit, until those are full too, by then it's all antifreeze which I would guess on a USMC vehicle will start to geyser out of the vent stack?

Or get your local glass shop cut you one for about half that.

All the headlights made by US manufacturers such as JW Speaker and Truck-lite fit perfectly.

The condition code is part of why your truck was surplused, age is the other. There is some magical formula the military uses.

A through F with F being, well, same as in school

C/C is condition code meaning how much is wrong with it, yours is E. Pres is preservation LCN is location code, what pasture they parked it in

Looks like a Cummins C160. Usual PT pump. The stepper control was to adjust the throttle in response to additional load to keep the RPMs steady for 60 Hertz. You can likely get rid of that and attach a cable type throttle control, so you can start at idle, and raise the RPMs to suit your...

I would fill the engine with oil, crank it up, rev the engine with the hand throttle, and climb underneath to see what is dripping.

Properly rebuilding a Jeep steering gear requires a special ream to get the sector shaft bearing clearance right. Too much and you get wobble and play. I say this because my suggestion to you is throw your mismatch gear in the recycle pile and get a reman unit from one of the Jeep parts guys.

Yes same suspension. Your picture shows a M45 chassis truck, Air Force faded blue.

M34s only were produced in 1951 and 1952. Maybe you have a M44?
