    bunch of brake line questions

    If you have the flare kit and the line is not damaged, sure reuse it. Otherwise these lines are available premade at most auto parts stores in various lengths.

    bunch of brake line questions

    NOS means new old stock, as in a 40 year old new part that was never installed. If you removed this part, it is not nos. It is not original equipment either, it is a poorly made repair part installed by someone in the last 50 years.

    Antenna attachment

    There is a S clip with a green synthetic rope tied to it that was issued to tie down the whip. There is nothing attached to the end of the rope on the bumper end. Troops just tied it off on whatever. In your case, someone got tired of tying and untying the rope and installed that clasp.

    60A Alternator Differences HMMWV/ Deuce

    Oh my you are right sorry about that. The exite wire should be soldered in the same spot as it is on the old alt in your picture.

    Need crash course in M1078 LMTV

    This truck is 24 volts and there are 4 batteries that need charging up before you try to start it. Avoid “jumping it off” at all costs, that is how electronics get fried on these. My ‘98 came ftom Alaska as well and has the Arctic heaters too.

    "On the road again..."

    Nah Celticlady has the right idea with using the air tool. If you bump up the idle when running the tool, the compressor can keep up easy. Battery tools are useless in the boondocks when the battery is dead.

    Side marker lights

    Sounds like these might be some kind of civilian lights that someone incorrectly installed the military connector on.
