After you replace the pinion seal, I would bubble test for air leaks on the rear axle by opening the oil fill port and checking for bubbles there with the CTIS on. The CTIS can't affect the front axle pinion seal as leaking CTIS air in the hub has no path to the center section through the open...

Or CTIS seals leaking at the hubs which can apply air pressure inside the axle housing.

Fast forward 70 years and the collectors of the future will be cussing all the holes you drilled like present collectors do with the mods that were done to the WWII Jeeps when they were surplused. Or not.

Nope. See if you can Google image M715s in service and find a Army registration number, change the last two digits and call it good. It will be our secret.

Anyone running one of these to cool/heat your shop? I bought 6 of them a while back and am about to install on a leased building, BUT I am seeing people report that they burn out after weeks of operation and Alaska tells you to f off if you call for proprietary parts. This is the 5 ton model.

Looks really good. Is it a 1031 or 1028? The door says 1031 but pintle says 1028.

Sorry about getting off track here, if you end up getting the truck, it will be very interesting to see if it has a GEP block, as GM quit making the 6.5 in '00. Seems unlikely that they would still have inventory of 6.5s to use on the 3500HD carryover model.

6.5 diesel?

Welcome! Feel free to jump in and help people with WTEC troubleshooting. This forum helps a lot of FMTV owners with diagnosis and repair.

I have the exact same problem as you. If the 548s came from Texas Forest Service, maybe they can assist with requisitioning surplus tracks through the FPP program. If not, get with beltfed on ebay, he may know who has some tracks stashed away in central Texas. If you break a pin, I have about...

Sounds like vampire. Empty transmission and overfull transfer will confirm.

I would do what richdane reply 54 did. I dry sanded my HMMWV in my garage with zero respiratory protection 15 years ago and I'm still kickin'. The isocyanates are bad when the paint is uncured.

$32k for a 1031 with the custom aluminum box and 7 kW pto generator could be correct.

Haha he posted in the TM upload forum, was not possible to answer post until now. Sounds like your transmission harness has shorted wires. Check the harness end to end very carefully.

Welcome. They started making those in 1991. Hint hint.

In my opinion, the key to reliability in these trucks is to replace the 1984 engine/transmission with a early 2000's HMMWV takeout GEP 6.5 engine with 4L80E overdrive transmission. This is a drop in swap with the only tricky part being the transmission controller.

Yes and the CUCV didn't cost $75,000 either.

Mogger, chill till tomorrow, you got zinged, happens sometimes. The subject matter experts to help you are only here. Have a cold one. I am.

What year is your truck? Need to know that to advise where the computer(s) are. Tachometers were standard on winch trucks, you will need to find the components that were installed on winch trucks.

Go to GP website and look up past sales of "M1081".
