Need to narrow down if the spring brake is getting air to release before getting into the wedges.

Thoroughly check the connector pointing up in the engine bay for corrosion between the wire strands and the pins.

Time to pull up the transmission cover and open the inspection cover and see what’s going on in there. Sounds like the pressure plate is shot.

That is perfect now. It is the correct top. The vinyl top without the integrated front and rear curtains replaced canvas in the 70's and 80's.

Carefully hammer it closed?

For sure not for a 5 ton. Are there any numbers stenciled on it?

Hate to be Debbie downer but that top doesn't look right either. The tie ropes should line up perfectly with the tiedowns.

I think that fits the WWII Dodge 3/4 ton WC's. Missing the lower louvered parts. Photo credit "command-car.com"

You are very wise to buy an Eastern unit. The Eastern 1025 GMVs are special trucks and did not rot for ages unused in GA or CA. Love mine, runs like a scalded dog.

For sure. Hundreds of fire departments all over the US have these trucks now and desperately need repair parts to keep them operational for years to come.

Absolutely this is a job for a pro that does this all day long. Call around to local heavy truck repair shops and ask which glass shop they use.

Rubber tire is super early. Deleted due to rubber shortage.

When y'alls gas sucking Toyotas are out of gas, abandoned on the side of the road, I will pull up in my multifuel deuce and punch a hole in your oil pan and transmission pan and fuel up with 3 gallons of your oil.

The 2002 will have (from the factory) a GEP engine and the 1995 will have a GM engine, which is more prone to cracks.

Welcome from south of houtx. Question, if your truck is in your driveway, why does it keep showing up on the spam ads I get from Govplanet?

Those are brush truck add-ons. In military service there are no switches there.

As said, the Niehoff regulators are what burn out, not the actual alternator. The regulator sees no high current. And the crappy HMMWV start boxes are not involved with charging current either.

Maybe wrong voltage solenoid

The 0-60 gauge has a specific sending unit as does the 0-120. There is a PS article about this, as the Army has been mismatching these forever. I would put a mechanical gauge on the truck temporarily to rule out the engine.
