    REO M275 truck tractor

    Correct, and not all 6 ton trailers either, the 313 and 447 etc were pulled by 5 ton tractors. But they sure look the best behind a 275.

    REO M275 truck tractor

    The Army would have NEVER put the fuel trailer behind a 275. Way to heavy. 275's pulled 146, 118, 119 etc.

    New to me Fontaine M172A1

    Ramps all gone, email sent, suggest anyone needing ramps for a M172 forget the stupid 400 lb heavy military ramps and get commercial aluminum ones.

    MV Addiction filled. Reis the Beast M1078A0 is born

    Yup, my Bragg LMTV has a similar laundry list of deficiencies. Seems like the SOP at Bragg is run it until it won't move and then off to auction.

    Should be around the drivers side front spring perch.

    REO M275 truck tractor

    Looks like they did not stamp the 0524 part of the serial number.

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    Maybe not. He has one of the two WTEC plugs, just splice matching color wires (solder with heat shrink, no crimp connectors), find the missing WTEC connector, same. Then the behind the dash harness, he has a cut-off of that as well, seems like armed with the schematic diagram and a test meter...

    Yes the one by itself. Looks like a car radio.

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    Studying the driver's instrument cluster photo, the harness coming from the transmission with the colored wires branches into two as is required for the WTEC II ECU. I think you have the right one.

    That's WTEC II ecu.

    REO M275 truck tractor

    Hmm, serial number is unusual. What does the data plate above say about what the maximum towed load highway is?

    REO M275 truck tractor

    All of those mechanical deficiencies will take a half day to fix. Dead batteries are to be expected. The only reason I would hesitate is if the rust you describe is actual holes in the metal.

    m1028 duallies -what were they used for

    Never know until you try. Get the da sander and time for some archeological research. That is your only hope to figure out prior unit assignments.

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    Quite a few parts trucks out there. If everything else on the truck looks good, I would not buy an entire truck to get harnesses that will fit in a large flat rate box (maybe?). Just keep in mind that it's always a possibility that this truck was brutalized because there was something...

    1998 were all WTEC 3. Edit: Or so I thought, see next post.

    You may have already done this, but I would start by contacting a global retailer such as Green Mountain Generators to gauge demand for your product and see if they could retail the boards to their customer base.

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    Ouch it got the super axe whacker treatment. I say forget trying to sort out the whacked harnesses, get take outs FROM A 1998 to 2000 model truck. He's missing all the transmission control keypad and brainbox, which is all integrated in the harnesses. You could easily get the engine cranked...

    How does one get a bone infection, how did you know you had it? Stepped on a nail or something?
