Put the truck on Craigslist etc to see if you can re-home it. Pics posted here will help with appraisal. Scrap money after the trouble to process for scrapping is not worth it.

Make sure the gauge housing is well grounded.

What harm can come from replacing the bent and busted parts and hoping for the best? I would.

Your links give me a 404 error. Rivnuts can be purchased from McMaster Carr.

Here's a pic of these trucks over at Ft Carson not more than a year ago. Looks like a creampuff to me. Thanks to Lionel for providing intel that indeed these trucks have age related issues. I have driven COUNTLESS trucks that were freshly excessed from Army service hundreds of miles for FDs...

Thank you for that report. Although you rained on my parade, it is far better to know this up front then after spending 10 grand thinking you were getting a creampuff.

In the pictures at Pennsylvania and Colorado, the trucks look like they were just recently taken out of everyday SF training ops, unlike the lot rot GP units which have sat for decades.

Antonio, there are many many manuals for this ARV: hull, engine, powertrain, etc. None are available in PDF. You will need to find originals for the components you wish to overhaul. For the GAA, most systems are same as Sherman. I would also post over on the G503 website in the armor section.

Am I crazy to think with one of the runners you could hop in and drive it 1500 miles?

Welcome, very nice collection. Does the V100 still have the Chrysler V8 engine?

Sounds like your engine idle speed is too high on your DFXE. None of us know what shunting is over here.

Jarrett was an actor on the reality tv show "shipping wars". He either was or acted clueless.

Vehiclesofvictory.com can help with Jimmy parts. I have some but no clue where they are.

The smallest wire of 3 that attaches to the alternator. If this fixes the draw, I believe the protective control box is bad.

You are quite correct, that spark indicates something is allowing current to pass. Need to employ the process of elimination, disconnect devices one by one until the offender is identified. I would start with the alternator excite wire.

Very nice and a MBT to go with it. What's in the back, looks like a final drive but I doubt it!

Haha thanks but I did not mention pressing the parking brake release knob because I couldn't remember if you had to or not. Definitely have to press the trailer brake knob.

Attach to emergency air at rear, press the trailer brake control in cab to charge glad hand.

Nice! Arctic enclosure a little far from where needed!

You can use it if the main breaker to your house/facility is 125 amps or less.
