Recall that the 100 amp system was a kit installed at depot level. The kit would have had an instruction sheet inside the crate. Nobody I know has a copy. Here is what changed with the 100 amp kit on a M38A1 to the best of my recollection: Ammeter is replaced with voltmeter. Ammeter wires...

Welcome. At that short distance, call around to wrecker outfits that have Landoll recovery trailers, the price might be manageable. These FMTVs need THOROUGH debugging before putting them on the highway.

More alternator info.

Meter needle should be steady on the white tic at idle and above. You are correct that something is not right.

The transmission keypad needs to be fully functioning with no start inhibit codes to allow the start circuit to operate.

One leg of the spider plugs into the volt meter. The gauge is grounded through the case.

Last time I checked that feature was to allow the TOW reloader to hand a round to the gunner without dismounting the truck.

3M Scotch Super 33 is the best you can get. Used by electricians everywhere.

Rode hard and put up wet.

How cool is that! Navy Seabee special procurement. I have seen that setup on civi railroad maintenance-of-way loaders with hyrail.

Sounds like the added lighting load is causing a corroded cable connection somewhere to go open. Clean connections at both ends of all battery cables.

Ha it’s going in a Russian vehicle, smoothness was not a priority for them in any way.

4BT was going to be my suggestion. The turbocharged versions put out good power. The only thing the 6.5 engine belongs in is the HMMWV and that is debatable.

When the engine shuts down, does everything else electrical also go dead?

Looking veey fixable and has all the military goodies still on it. Desperately needs the gasket under the windshield!

Welcome, those are called model G8T. The rear axle is made by Timken. What happens with the brake drum is the brake fluid leaks out of the wheel cylinder and causes the shoes to stick to the drum. Lots of beating and prying will get things loose. You should have military data plates on the dash.

Y'all are killing me with this "parts truck" talk. That thing was $11660 after GP fees and $12600 after tax. Parts? It shows 4 miles which looks quite correct given how clean it is and no body wear or even radiator damage. The USMC cann'd the hood off that one because it was perfect. Two...

Someone wasn’t phased by the missing tire/wheel assy and hood.

Welcome, pretty good knowledge base for M38A1s on here, glad you are aboard. Cool day job, tell us what platform one day if you can.

I think Memphis added the double frame. See it's bolted on? Factory would be rivets. See if Memphis still has those data plates, very important to operate the REB correctly or you will damage the transfer case.
