Nice crane operation. Does the gun ring in the trashed cab need a new home?

They are called blackout marker lamps. There is another one in the grille called the blackout driving lamp. See ebay for these, the ones you want have black rubber connectors.

Never seen an adapter ring like that either loose or on a truck.

Funny story on this. My shop is right near a property with bee hive boxes. On Sunday when I was going to work on the truck, I noticed beekeepers removing the boxes. No big deal I thought until I started draining the radiator and was ATTACKED by pissed off BEES and bitten 5 times ouch...

I’m a little confused, if the truck is working, why do you need a starter? FMTVs have lots of gremlins but the starter is not one of them. On the window, that can be problematic. Check ebay and call around to all the dealers such as Eastern.

No, you can start the engine with the cab tilted. Also to answer an earlier question, when the master warning panel says "stop" that is just a suggestion, there is no electrical interlock. But if you don't you will quickly regret it.

No. Air pressure DISengages it.

If the ambient temps are above 40 or so the fan will need to come on. You will need to diagnose this issue. The TM with diagnostic fault tree is located in the TM section of this website.

There is no fishing out the broken piece. You are looking at a complete disassembly. Numerous threads here on doing that.

This problem will resurface. Never drive anywhere in a FMTV without tools and a voltmeter/ohmmeter.

Do you have a voltmeter with you? Is the troublesome thermal switch on the starter bypassed? Look for two small wires that go into a module on the starter not associated with the solenoid. If it's connected still, cut the wires off and twist together. Does the PDP click when you press the...

Certainly don’t replace a GEP engine with a GM engine and certainly don’t use the computer controls the GM 6.5 came with. Put 12 volt solenoids in your existing injection pump.

Got a multifuel deuce in and crank pulley/harmonic balancer totally loose. For anyone that has run into this before, is this a busted crankshaft? Before I tear into it just wondering.

Try Sam Winer Motors.

Isn’t that the classic Cadillac valve noise?

Feel all the electrical connections for heat after cranking attempts. Hot connections mean high resistance which will slow the starter way down.

Sure put a for sale ad with prices. Mine is not great. This is the non-GM pump, that has the remote reservoir, right?

If you are obtaining this through the civilian parts marketplace just tell them it’s for DIESEL engine application.

The nsn on the box comes back to the vehicle end item. P/O means part of. FP means foreign packed (I think) F means For Truck Utility etc. I THINK your crate contains the BII or OVM (basic issue items or On Vehicle Material) such as the jack and tool bag with tools. This crate would have...

Looks like that Jeep was ground up restored at one point and then abandoned.
