Thanks everyone so far. Update, I unplugged the proportioning valve connector and the brake warning light did not extinguish. Sure enough it’s a stuck handbrake switch. Based on ya’lls responses, with a completely empty truck, this might be the nature of the beast.
Order a new part and cross fingers? If I were here I would suggest taking it to a transmission shop, but over there it will be very difficult to find GM Hydramatic expert.
Newly arrived M1025A2. Master cyl full, no leaks, stops on a dime but it feels like rear axle is doing the work, locks up tires rear only with hard application. Any special HMMWV wisdom here other than bleed brakes and replace master cylinder if problem does not resolve?
The 6.5 TD in my 2000 Chevy K3500 has more power than I know what to do with. It will pull 20,000 lbs up a long hill easy and spin tires if I jump on the throttle. I wouldn't dream of replacing it with a Cummins.
Heck yes once you have gone down the civi path sure I would H1 it up. Not like a future owner 50 years from now couldn’t take them back off if they wanted pure mil.
Waaay back in post #11, Ronmar advised you to check that the shoes were installed correctly, just a little friendly reminder, it will save you much aggravation next time if you check these pointers out as they are posted here.
Just stand it with the shaft up and pour oil in the holes and spin it and pour in some more. Don’t dump it out before you install. Watch oil pressure gauge when you fire up.
